The Rounders (1965)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 85m
Director: Burt Kennedy
Cast: Henry Fonda, Glenn Ford, Chill Wills
Synopsis:
Two ageing cowboys resist the calls on them to settle down and continue rounding up steers in the high country when they are not busting broncos in Sedona. Then one year they decide to bet all their earnings on an unbreakable horse, but what to do with the money if they win?
Review:
Pleasant but unambitious Western, carried by its amiable stars, themselves members of a dying breed to look at ease on a horse. It's the old theme of the unchanging cowboy in a world of change, only here a horse is used as a metaphor of unbending endurance as opposed to defiance in a lethal hail of bullets.
