Title: You're a one-eyed jack in this town, Dad, but I seen the other side of your face!
Review: Marlon Brando wrote and produced this western epic filmed on the California coast, most notably in Pebble Beach and Monterey before much of the current development. Brando and his co-star, Carl Malden, are in their prime in this film about two bandits on the run from the law. Rio (Brando) ends up getting caught and going to prison in Sonora. Dad (Malden) escapes and betrays Rio. He ultimately turns respectable and becomes the sherrif of a small town. When Rio escapes from prison, he sets out for revenge.Malden is particularly good in this film. His homely intensity plays well against the Brando's concentrated sensuality. The chemistry between the two men is mesmerizing. Ultimately it is a tale of redemption, since Brando must leave his wicked ways in order to be worthy of a respectable woman's love. This is a terrific western that is now classic but must have been very unusual for its time.
