"The Last Sunset" (1961)
-Kirk Douglas, Rock Hudson
Plot: IMDB
Brendan O'Malley arrives at the Mexican home of old flame Belle Breckenridge to find her married to a drunkard getting ready for a cattle drive to Texas. Hot on O'Malley's heels is lawman Dana Stribling who has a personal reason for getting him back into his jurisdiction. Both men join Breckenridge and his wife on the drive. As they near Texas tensions mount, not least because Stribling is starting to court Belle and O'Malley is increasingly drawn by her daughter Missy.
Phantom's Review: Entertaining, but somewhat soap opera-ish western film. The acting is very good and the story is decently written. The action is good, when they get to it. Mostly this is a character driven film. Definitely worth a viewing if your a fan of the genre.
