Crew and Cast
While acting by Kristy McNichol, Paul Winfield (especially!), and Burl Ives (in one of his last movies) is good, the crew may be even greater:
Bruce Surtees - color photography
Ennio Morricone - music composer (wrote theme, Once Upon a time in the West)
Gene LeBell - famous Hollywood stuntman
Sam Fuller - director
Making brief acting appearances are radio actor great Parley Baer and Fuller's daughter,actress Samantha (credited, and about age 6)
It's sad Paramount "hid" this creative 1981 film because of its theme. Today, we can all soberly enjoy its Criterion DVD release and argue about its theme when we're drunk and crazy.
