| Elevator Pitch | A young Scottish aristocrat, falls for a young woman who emigrates to America, so he follows and begins a hazardous journey westwards. He is befriended by an outlaw, who unbeknown to him has a relationship with the woman who is now also an outlaw. Will the young man survive in the kill or be killed environment of the old west? | ||
| Content | The duo trek across the landscape taking in rivers, woods and desert. They camp and interact with other travellers and woodsmen. There are a number of shoot-outs working up to a dramatic finale. No sex or nudity, but quite a bit of drinking. | ||
| A View | This outing was on my list of films to watch, but I had ignored it for ages. The story was not that appealing; this might be why it did not make much money and may not have covered its costs, despite its limited budget. But actually it is a fantastic film, the New Zealand landscape making it quite surreal. If you enjoy unusual westerns don’t miss it. | ||
