Sam Peckinpah followed The Wild Bunch with this intimate, eccentric, appealing 1970 comedy, which treats many of the same themes in a soft, regretful mode.

Top CriticPeckinpah shows atypical humor and sense of music too in this original and lyrical comedy-Western-musical, with Jason Robards in top form as one of the director's most sympathetic character.
07/06/05
A funky and appealing Western parable directed by Sam Peckinpah.

Jason Robards shines in one of his most touching and humorous performances, and David Warner is memorable as a sinning preacher man.

A fine movie, a wonderfully comic tale we didn't quite expect from a director who seems more at home with violence than with humor.
