Richard Harris shines in this film, which was based upon a true story.
Starting in the mid-1950s, I attended western movies every week with my father. I continued the tradition on my own, right up until the present.
I have a collection of about 700 of them.
Man in the Wilderness is one of the top 10. It's not The Searchers, but nothing else is.
Richard Harris shines in this film. And his coming to terms with his life and his humanness was masterfully done. It is sweet and moving.
It is a revenge movie, but not really. See it and you will understand. You will be glad you spent an evening with it.
....p.s. The film score is beautiful.
