1972, Movie, R, 100 mins

An unromantic portrait of the vile and muddy Old West. It is essentially the genesis of Billy the Kid (Pollard) as a mentally deficient psychopath. After learning to fire a six-gun and seduce a woman, little Billy moves into his legendary phase as the film comes to a close. Pollard, best remembered for his role as C.W. Moss in BONNIE AND CLYDE, is appropriately dirty in an equally classic performance. Surprisingly slick direction from TV-commercial graduate Dragoti, who later directed LOVE AT FIRST BITE. Busey (THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY) and Van Patten (of TV's Eight Is Enough) are bottom-liners. leave a comment
