Chato's Land, 1972, Directed by Michael Winner, starring Charles Bronson and Jack Palance. Violent western ...

Not everyone's cuppa violence, but its 70's Vietnam allegory is plain enough. bad white man cruelly attack natives; get their cumuppance.
You can't beat a Charles Bronson/Micheal Winner film. Top marks for totally unnecessary gratuitous violence (outside of video nasties) has to be Death Wish 2 where a gang of thugs break in to his house, rape and murder his housekeeper, kidnap and rape his dumb daughter (who's been like that since her experience in the last film IIRC) so she jumps out of the high window and is impaled on the spiked railings outside.

Welles went out on a financial and creative limb to make film, and much to surprise of his detractors did a great job... film was a success.
good film that. not seen it before tmk. a spot of red dwarf to finish now..

Film was mostly well recieved except in country music circles.
Saw it years ago - but it couldn't have made much of an impression on me as I remember very little about it. Unusual for a Robert Altman film. :hmm:
its an interesting, if overlong film.. not great by any means unless your maybe on fringes of nashville scene. worth maybe one watch. that was mine. cant win them all, but it had its momentsQuote:

Decent western overall, and quite enjoyable although perhaps a bit more violent and slowish at times than your usual Wayne efforts.

Film earned mixed reviews but made a profit.. Was a 'golden boy' film for the US Navy, who used in in recruiting posters etc. I enjoy this film, but cant help feeling it could have been so much better too.
Haven't heard of the film Grant. Is it sci-fi?
