Enjoyable, Classic 1960s Western - Ride in the Whirlwind review by CD
I was interested in seeing how a young Jack Nicholson would fare in this western. The plot is quite simple and the characters are not much developed but the filming of the beautiful Utah natural environment is exceptional, with a pleasant western style music score. Nicholson's character grows during the film and there is an interesting part where Nicholson and his fellow cowhand have to force themselves for shelter on a family with a homestead, now being cast as outlaws. Probably 3 stars for plot but overall 4 stars for Jack Nicholson and the cinematography.
