There was really no reason for me to pick up The Train Robbers, a 1973 John Wayne western, other than the fact it was a western, for which I have a weakness.
But … in the interests of full disclosure I must say – Ann Margaret? 1973? Well!
Who could resist the Ann Margaret of the 1970′s?
Not that there’s anything salacious in the film. It is a John Wayne movie after all. Still, Margaret plays a pretty good drunk in one of the campfire scenes.
And the movie overall … well, it’s good but forgettable. Except for one aspect – the look. I just loved the way this movie was shot. Director Burt Kennedy appears to have had a very definite look in mind.
Anyway … Enough blah blah here. I’ve uploaded my review of The Train Robbers.
