A 1972 TV-movie that has Clint Walker playing against type.
Clint seems to be shadowing the other Hollywood Clint
in this tale of a driven bounty hunter.
Our first scene in which Walker offers a choice to a captured
outlaw, “You can go in the saddle, or over it” sets the tone.
Walker’s presence is always an asset but, his inherent
decency and a very standard script and journeyman direction do the film no
favors.
What does shine here is Richard Basehart chewing it up
as a villain.
No great shakes, but not sorry I viewed it.
