The sort of Western where gunmen die in mud puddles, the cattle barons of Wyoming dine on imported Maine lobster, and at the end, in a scene of agonizing length, the hero is hanged on a new-fangled gallows with a trapdoor activated by water weight. The filmmakers skip over Horn's career as a Rough Rider, cavalry scout, and capturer of Geronimo, to concentrate on his final phase as a "stock detective." But whatever was their interest in that phase, it never comes clear. The movie, in fact, appears to be nowhere near a finished piece of work. A couple of noteworthy decisions which, with another day or another five minutes to think about, the filmmakers would surely have thought better of, are the abrupt blackouts instituted halfway through the film and several love-interest scenes clearly intended to come earlier but inserted near the end as wistful flashbacks. Steve McQueen, Linda Evans, Richard Farnsworth, and Billy Green Bush; written by Thomas McGuane; directed by William Wiard. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
