Monte Walsh [VHS]
LEE MARVIN, JEANNE MOREAU and JACK PALANCE are the central players in this "poetic tribute to the cowboy," a "robust....funny" and "timeless" (Los Angeles Times) western based on a novel by Jack Schaefer, author of the western classic Shane.Two old-timers, Monte Walsh (MARVIN) and his buddy Chet Rollins (PALANCE) reluctantly accept that their world of bronco-busting, round-ups and barroom brawls - the sacred life of a cowboy - is coming to an end.  Unable to make a decent wage, Chet marries a widow and Monte ponders a similar future with his longtime love (JEANNE MOREAU), a saloon hostess. But their new lives are irrevocably altered when the two proud cowboys continue to settle disputes the only way they know how - with guns.Filled with richly drawn characters and magnificent photography, the acclaimed Monte Walsh is an unusually well done and "satisfying film."
