Default Re: Greatest Western of All Time - Nominations

Don't know that it will make the cut (and it doesn't meet some of the requirments discussed e.g. it is set in the 1950's)- but anyone into westerns might want to check out:

Lonley are the Brave (1962)

I am biased towards it because it is based on Ed Abbey's novel The Brave Cowboy. It stars Kirk Douglas as Jack Burns- an old fashioned cowboy in the modern world and Walter Matthau as the sheriff pursuing him.

Kirk Douglas said in the LA times in 1989 "In the more than 60 films that I've made, this is my favorite"
