Although 'panned' by critics, this is probably Brando's last good performance., 18 October 1998
Author: bux from Tecumseh ok

Stories abound concerning the troubles that beset the making of this picture. It's been said that it took so long to film that Brando's weight fluctuated so much, they had continuity problems. All that said, this is a great movie! The story of a small town sheriff, perceived as corrupt by most, racial tensions, sexual promiscuity, it's all here. A great early performance from Redford, as Bubba Reeves. Many versions of this film edit the gory scene in which Brando is beaten. The theme here is a real parallel to 'High Noon,' in which the townsfolk watch as a lawman faces unsurmountable odds.
