Weird is the word for this oddball western directed by Bernard L. Kowalski. David Janssen is recently released from a federal penitentiary seeking revenge on the scoundrel who railroaded him. While looking for Lee J. Cobb, he shoots one armed army vet David Carradine (over a bottle of champagne). Carradine's wife (Jean Seberg) pursues Janssen across Texas and New Mexico all the while upping the reward money. After a very unlikely case of Stockholm syndrome, Seberg comes to regret putting a bounty on Janssen's head. This is a strange movie with so-so acting (Janssen is not suited for the wild west) and the direction by Kowalski is all of the place; there's no pacing, a lot of bad editing and characters disappear without a trace (just WHAT did happen to Cobb?) The supporting cast is peppered with the likes of James Booth, Bo Hopkins, Hugo Stiglitz and, at least briefly, Diane Ladd as a good time girl.
