Hombre
John Russell (Paul Newman), a white man raised by a band of Arizona Apaches, is forced to confront the society he despises when he sells the boarding house his father has left him. While leaving town by stagecoach, several bigoted passengers insist he ride outside with the driver (Martin Balsam). But when outlaws leave them all stranded in the desert, Russell may be their only hope for survival! Diane Cilento, Frederic March, Richard Boone and Barbara Rush co-star in this action-packed Western classic.
Classic Paul Newman @Soaringeagle123
Classic Paul Newman
Terrible @Furutan1
A terrible film with unlkable characters, a contrived plot, wooden performances, and a dreadful script. And how they could make the jump from Newman being a long-haired fully-integrated Apache to an educated, articulate white guy does not work. No doubt, this is a film that all participants would have been eager to forget.
Basic and the best @rlmarsh
My all time favourite movie.
Best Western Ever Overlooked @for good sci fi
It wouldn't surprise that most folks who love westerns would not rate this as highly as other big ticket cowboys, e.g., Wayne, Eastwood, etc. So if you like superman- lone ranger - type heroes, (without tongue and cheek, e.g., 2007 "3:10 to Yuma" which I love) this ain't for you. On the other hand, if you want real issues and people, great dialogue; great acting. . . I'm betting this movie will outlast the other tin-star fluff .
