Following the unexpected death of a fellow ranch-hand, a pair of mismatched cowboys decide the only way to have a future for themselves is to rob the local bank and use the money to buy a ranch of their own in Mexico. Directed by Blake Edwards, of Pink Panther fame, the story of the criminal cowboys unfolds at a leisurely pace, focusing more on the characters than on the crime. William Holden gives a great performance as Ross, the old cowboy desperate to make something out of his remaining years. Ryan O’Neal is less successful as Frank, the young whippersnapper who follows in Ross’ footsteps.
