In Reply to: Like Patrick, I'm not a huge fan of Peck's work, especially the older, slow-motion posted by tinear on May 26, 2009 at 07:38:13:
for me, simply the best.
The whole long languid ride through the deserts of Mexico is brilliant in every aspect. The cast is about perfect, even including the seemingly odd choice of Ernest Borgnine. And the end is utter violence. But it is a violent end chosen as a final statement by some men that have chosen to sacrifice themselves. It's one I've seen many times and will see many more.
