- Quotes
Luke Welsh: Sally...
Sally Crane: That's who I am, Sally.
Luke Welsh: Took the day off?
[Sally nods]
Luke Welsh: This is what you do with it? Come up here like this and sit, all alone?
Sally Crane: I've been alone all my life. Only most of the time people are around. So in my day off I go right away from them. On my day off, I get to be alone without them... I like that better.
- ConnectionsEdited into The Wild West (1979)
Gene Fowler Jr's movie makes its points about violence and loneliness, but does so in too obvious a manner, afraid to let the audience draw its own conclusion. There are plenty of swooping crane shots by cinematographer John M. Nickolaus Jr., straight out of HIGH NOON to make sure we realize this is an important psychological movie.
The performances are good, but everyone tries too hard to make this a superior movie.
