Comes a Horseman (1978)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 118m
Director: Alan J. Pakula
Cast: Jane Fonda, Jason Robards Jnr, James Caan
Synopsis:
Montana, the 1940s: ranchers strive to fend off the inroads of big money into their way of life, and a woman fights back when she is hoodwinked by an unscrupulous businessman and former suitor.
Review:
Highly worthy and handsomely made Western drama, which approaches the familiar locales and characters from a refreshing historical context. Pakula has an uncanny ability to suggest menace with the subtlest of codes, and the cast is first-rate, but at the end of a decade dominated increasingly by space pictures and youth pictures no one wanted to know.
