The Quick and the Dead (1987)
Country: US
Technical: col TV
Director: Robert Day
Cast: Tom Conti, Sam Elliott, Kate Capshaw
Synopsis:
A mysterious stranger comes to the aid of a farmer and his beautiful wife when they are attacked by a gang, but does he have designs on the wife?
Review:
Confusingly bearing the same title as Raimi's very different homage to the spaghetti subgenre, this is a western in the older tradition, with a hardbitten wandering gunman who envies the settled existence of his farmer rival (cf. Rachel and the Stranger). The highlights are routine, and although Elliott is ideal for his role Conti is miscast, and that Capshaw is the unlikeliest of farmers' wives is best illustrated by her waterfall shower in clinging white underwear.
