This independent and offbeat film deals three cowboys who are mistaken for members a band, then they're wrongly pursued by a relentless posse. This outlandish Western is finely set against barren backdrop and well photographed outdoors . Slow moving, a little boring, however packs exciting pursuits, strong performances and noisy gunplay. Written,starred and produced by Jack Nicholson along with an uncredited Roger Corman. Made concurrently, back to back, with ¨The shooting¨with the same cast(Millie Perkins, Jack Nicholson), cameraman(Gregory Sandor) and maverick director. Slammed by the intelligentsia when it was released , today become a minor cult movie, as well as The shooting.
The motion picture is professionally directed by Monte Hellman(Two-lane blacktop,Cockfighter) with his usual visual style. His stars are similarly independent-minded actors such as Jack Nicholson, Harry Dean Stanton and Cameron Mitchell. From his two known strange, outlandish Western in which Hellman directed in rare, special qualities , he has remained fiercely independent with lukewarm reception by the public, but praised by the critics. In his first films he teamed up Roger Corman who produced his earlier movies with a relative success, however nowadays he only makes fateful B movies and television movies.
