Exactly in 1980 I'd watched this unusual western, from whom I had never hear about ever since, on TV, VHS's era, Cable TV and DVD's advent neither until now, thus I have to resort to our last hope Youtube where has whatever you want are there, I'd found a washed out video in reverse print, no subtitled, the sound is cut in a some sequence, worst it stayed mute mostly of the time, anyway you have figure out by body language what's they say and the meaning, a true effort to watch it again to make my reassessment process of the movie, as the image is the heart and soul of picture the remainder is a piece of cake, on next search luckily I'd found a Youtuber reviewer comment on the picture with several key sequences are totally restored, I've stay baffled that such picture soon it will available on DVD, this is my desire.
Robert Lansing as fair I known is a decent actor, he plays Talion a bounty hunter that coming home, when he saw his Ranch in flaming, where his wife comes to die burned, Talion swears revenge it by all means, there sudden appears an old man Trumbull (Strother Martin) that gives a hint most probably Ike Slant's gang (Slim Pickens), he tracks down them, nonetheless in the way he meets with another bounty hunter Benny Wallace (Patrick Wayne) just on small chat Talion suspicious over him actually is lying about something which he must keep for yourself for personal reasons, also Talion invites Benny to catch Slant's gang due it has a profitable reward over their heads, live or dead.
Aftermaths they head to a Trading Post nearby managed by Brian Quincy (Paul Fix) where he lives his daughter Bri Quince (Gloria Talbot) and his young savior coins kid Joe-Hi Quince (Clint Howard), after a dinner they got the info whereof they needing for over Slant's gang, however Talion and Bri have a mutual romance interest, it sounds a bit weird due Talion just lost your wife, anyway it happens, at dawn Talion and Benny go toward the Ike last sighted spot, after a day ridding they finally reach at Ike Slant's gang at campfire in near sundown, both get ready on best position behind the rocks to shooting them, sadly in crossfire Talion receives a bullet at his right hand stayed wounded, meanwhile Benny being shot a glace brown near forehead fainting on the ground, soon he perceives his eyes slight overshadowed and later blind, Talion figures out that just two of them comes to die and Ike Slant got escape.
Talion packet the two dead outlaw in an improvised stretcher drawn by horse, also lead the blind Berry along the way, now Talion wondering how they can defeat the quick draw Slant if his hand was crippled and his partner blind, then he starts training Berry at voice command in order he hear where the sound coming from like a watch, Talion also moving at Berry front expecting Berry figures out where is his possible target, a few days practicing they are ready to face Ike in gunfight, Talion will be Berry's eyes and Berry will be guide by Talion's speech command and no mistake is allowed.
Fine picture in a breathtaking landscape on the mountains as backdrop, further an awesome performance by the little boy Clint Howard and the drunkard double-cross Strother Martin, hope see it comes to light totally restored at my Western's rack section!!
