Shoot Out (1971)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 95m
Director: Henry Hathaway
Cast: Gregory Peck, James Gregory, Rita Gam, Jeff Corey
Synopsis:
A bank robber gets out of prison and comes gunning for the partner who set him up, but the latter has already despatched badmen to find out what he has in mind. To complicate matters, he finds himself burdened with the six year-old child of an old flame, who may or may not be his.
Review:
Very much an old man's western on both sides of the camera, though Peck still holds himself pretty well, and there is some nasty modern violence in there, with positively the most despicable trio of redneck thugs ever to grace a saddle. The Rocky Mountain scenery is as stunning as it was in True Grit, and beautifully photographed by Earl Rath, but this is strictly for genre addicts and Peck fans.
