Product Description:
Vinegaroon law goes like this. Penalty for stealing whisky: hanging. Penalty for not cutting the judge in on a bank heist: hanging. Penalty for speaking ill of New York actress Lillie Langtry: shooting. Then hanging.

Newman tackles with gusto the title role a self-made man who proclaims himself the law west of the Pecos writes admiring letters to Langtry (Ava Gardner) and rides into gun-blazing glory whooping "For Texas and Miss Langtry!" Prepare yourself for some colorful adventures. Because these talents cast long shadows.Running Time: 120 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085392449828
Amazon.com essential video:
A remarkable blend of otherwise disparate philosophies about legendary men, this 1972 film was inspired in part by the epic dimensions of a John Milius (The Wind and the Lion) script, which was toned down by Paul Newman's charmingly eccentric approach to the title character, who in turn was deepened by director John Huston's sensitivity to the subject of fleeting dreams. The story concerns the famous outlaw-turned-lawmaker who rules over an empty stretch of the West that gradually grows, under his iron fist, into a thriving town. The film follows the quirky Bean's episodic adventures as the years pass and a variety of colorful characters come and go, including the muse who captivated his soul, the actress Lily Langtry (Ava Gardner). Huston's textured approach has an almost Altmanesque feel to it, though he demands more (and rewardingly so) obvious performances from the cast, particularly a hilarious cameo by Stacy Keach as the one tough-as-nails SOB who makes Bean a tad nervous. Highly entertaining. --Tom Keogh

A great film, but a real scandle at not being able to purchase in the U.K So I bought it through Amazon , but it was expensive, twice the price it should have been. Such is life..

Wow, what a quirky western. It's almost comic book-type put-on for most of the film and then it turns into a sad story at the end.
Most of the actors in this star-studded cast are in cameo roles, the best being Stacy Keach's "Bad Bob." He seems to be about everyone's favorite character in this film, and justifiably so.
The storyline: "Roy Bean" (Newman) almost gets killed visiting this one-horse town out in the middle of lawless El Paso, then gets his revenge on the people ... Read More

This is my second favorite Newman movie after Slapshot. It is pure Grit and Determination. Add it to your collection,you won't be sorry.

First of all, I'm a big Paul Newman fan.
But I think he is miscast in this movie. I never quite buy him as Judge Roy Bean. OK, I'm spoiled by Walter Brennan. I just never bought the character, so I couldn't buy the movie. Roy Bean was such a cantankerous and very eccentric person, and from what I can tell from research, not very attractive.. OK, I know this is a movie. But I couldn't get past that the character was Paul Newman trying to be cantankerous and eccentric--except on a superficial ... Read More
