Will Penny Reviews
real far west
Will Penny is a mature cowboy -50 years old as he declares to Joan Hackett should be much for so physical hard work in the late nineteenth century- Furthermore he has passed all his life alone, has learned all in taverns, knows only the fragile friendship of another few cattlemen and only treats with prostitutes when he can.
And from all that comes the heart of this magnificent film. Penny, a brave man, and potentially even a good father, as he teaches well and wins the confidence of the little child, is coward when he has the opportunity to marry with the only woman he has loved in his full life.
Perhaps truly he feels too old and unable to abandon his erratic existence, perhaps is the custom of living alone so long time, he rejects that opportunity. Charlton Heston and all actors are superb here excepting perhaps the excessive fool preacher. A rare, exceptional western and excellent film, impossible to think in the world of special effects of today
heston CAN act
after so many films of the conservative heston playing the conservative heston he finally remembered he was an actor and delivered a touching, humanistic performance. he is vulnerbale here and even uneducated, a far cry from the normal pompous roles heston specialized in. its a shame there werent more performances like this form him, but it is performance to be cherished.
the film has a sort of neo realism and its refreshing. the only false note lies in the overly melodramatic villians.
