Kirk Douglas produced and starred in this elegiac Western, scripted by Dalton Trumbo, which laments the vanishing Old West, its heroes and their mores, replaced by a modern world dominated by progress and technology.

One of only a few Kirk Douglas films where the hammy actor didn't want to make me gag.

Kirk Douglas remains the epitome of the rugged individual in the classic neo-western Lonely Are the Brave
