Poorly presented western starring James Caan (as Jud McGraw) as an outlaw type trying to be good in a corrupt town. Robert Walker (as the Sheriff) shares his beard, Aldo Ray (as as Mimmo) takes a bath, Sammy Davis Jr. (as Kid Dandy) wears black leather pants, and Stefanie Powers (as Little Moon) shows her bare buttocks. To appear more Native American, Ms. Powers wears an "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark" hairpiece. She successfully holds it on during a struggle with Mr. Caan. This film was first shelved, then released as "Gone with the West" in 1975. It should have stayed gone, but was re-produced with new framing and narration as "Little Moon & Jud McGraw" in 1978. The stunts, especially those involving fire, are done well. Otherwise, this is a movie mess.

** Gone with the West/ Little Moon & Jud McGraw (1975/1978) Bernard Girard ~ James Caan, Stefanie Powers, Aldo Ray, Sammy Davis Jr.
