Viewing Notes

Cinephobe.tv came back on the air this week with its usual eclectic programming. Decided to revisit this one since it was on the schedule and I hadn’t seen it in a long time (nor provided any notes from that viewing). This is a very good vengeance western w/Gregory Peck at the center tracking the men who murdered his wife. Given this excellent cast I would’ve figured I previously viewed this for my Angel Eyes project but nope. Probably just a library grab bc it looked good (+ the cast). Glad I checked this one out bc I had forgotten most of it. Joan Collins doesn’t have much to do here but she’s a stunner in a supporting role.
