Plots(1)
Vinegaroon law goes like this. Penalty for stealing whisky: hanging. Penalty for not cutting the judge in on a bank heist: hanging. Penalty for speaking ill of New York actress Lillie Langtry: shooting. Then hanging. Paul Newman joins director John Huston, screenwriter John Milius and a cast of superb sidewinders to turn the real-life Wild West into a tall tale of a Wilder West. Newman tackles with gusto the title role, a self-made man who proclaims himself the law west of the Pecos, writes admiring letters to Langtry (Ava Gardner) and rides into gunblazing glory whooping "For Texas and Miss Langtry!" Prepare yourself for some colourful adventures. Because these talents cast long shadows. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
