Today’s second feature has Cesar Romero playing the Cisco Kid. I never would have guessed that one. And no, it is not a Barney Frank biopic.

“The Westerner” original trailer

[bcsco]

The writer missed it big time on "The Westerner". Both Cooper and Brennan give solid performances, yet it's the interaction between the two in certain scenes that makes this film great. The barroom scene with the glasses, their waking up in bed together drunk, with Brennan's arm around Cooper, Brennan's dialog, the list just goes on.

While the background story is hackneyed, ranchers vs. farmers, it's the inclusion of Brennan's role as Judge Roy Bean, and what he did with it, that makes the movie. One of my favorites for sure.

"Mr. Harden, it's my duty to inform you that the larceny of an equine is a capital offense punishable by death, but you can rest assured that in this court a horse thief always gets a fair trial before he's hung."
