Harry Tracy - Desperado (1982)
(Harry Tracy: Dead or Alive)
Country: CAN
Technical: col 107m
Director: William A. Graham
Cast: Bruce Dern, Helen Shaver, Michael C. Gwynne
Synopsis:
With the rest of the Wild Bunch either dead or in prison, the elusive Harry Tracy continues his train robbing career sufficient to elope with a judge's daughter to the North West. He becomes the focus of one of the biggest manhunts in the history of the West.
Review:
Refreshingly slanted towards its love interest, but inadequately tight in its pacing and varying in tone, this western takes after Butch and Sundance in many ways and provides a long overdue opportunity for Dern to carry a film. The interrupted barn-raising climax is nicely handled; maybe it came too soon after The Grey Fox to garner the attention it deserves.
