highly recommended

A rancher a rustler and a regulator face off in Arthur Penn's eccentric western. As a cover for their horse thievery a gang of Montana rustlers led by the laid-back Tom Logan (Jack Nicholson) buys a small farm adjacent to the ranch of their latest target/nemesis Braxton (John McLiam). When the gang leaves Tom on the farm and heads to Canada for another score Tom takes a shine both to farming and Braxton's rebellious strong-willed daughter Jane (Kathleen Lloyd). The slightly loco Braxton however hires the psychopathic regulator Lee Clayton (Marlon Brando) to root out the rustlers. With a series of unorthodox methods (and costumes) Clayton hunts down Logan and his gang one by one even after Braxton fires him but Logan isn't about to let Clayton (or Braxton) make him obsolete.System Requirements: Running Time 126 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.

underrated and sublime

saw this film the other night on cable, pan & scan sadly, and was utterly blown away. forget anything anyone has said about pacing, brando's over the top perf., the ending, just bask in the glow of one of the most literate and sophisticated scripts ever. the complexity and nuances of human interaction, the shifting dynamic and subtextual messages, all thoroughly explored here by thomas mcguane and robert towne. and the film is frequently hilarious. the editing is often abrupt in a way that serves the script beautifully. the portrayal of frontier life, the rutted streets, the human degradation, the brothels, and most of all the humanity, combine to make this a film that transends its shortcomings in a way that almost couldn't have been planned.

Brando and Jack - Duel Of Giants

I don't get tired of watching this film over and over , specially the scenes of Marlon Brando, that are unforgettable (he was so funny in most of them). He was surely the best actor of ever. Moreover, there was Jack Nicholson too! What else to say? That's why this film, here in Brazil, was properly named "Duel Of Giants".

Brando and Nicholson at Their Best

Excellent performances by Brando and Nicholson as well as those of the supporting cast. This movie is a superior Western tale and has a balanced amount of the violence, humor, and romance. Notable lines include those of rustler Nicholson to vicious oddball killer Brando, who was pressing him for background information, "I was in the implement business.." and the hilarious pre-sentencing speech by the self-named 'Lonesome Kid". They need to put this great film on Blu-ray.

Great classic Western

This was an early Nicholson film, but you can see 5 Easy Pieces and Easy Rider in the west by watching it. Marlon Brando's plays a crazy regulator and you're holding your jaw that this could possibly be the same person who played the mob boss in The Godfather.

Great pic.
