Dir: Burt Kennedy
Starring: Yul Brynner
Year: 1966
I watched this by mistake - I thought it was the original. When NB realised his mistake he was expecting disappointment, but was actually pleasantly surprised.
In 1947 Satre gave an interesting lecture about the how a man can choose a right or wrong course from an existential viewpoint. Is there even a right or wrong? Yul Brynner's character kind of personifies that viewpoint and that choice. It's DEEP!
The film itself is a series of conversations as Brynner gives advice to his underlings and shows 'em whats what. Plus theres some horse riding and shooting. It's a gunslinging, get the bad guys, cowboy film that doesn't break any new ground, but doesn't fall flat on its face either.
Rating: Good!
