Raquel And Robert
24 August 2022
I'll start with the bad. The worst thing about this movie by far is the trio of bad guys. There is absolutely nothing interesting about them. They're supposed to be funny, but it's all just so stupid. They yell at each other. Then they yell at each other some more. Then there's another scene where they yell at each other. Followed by another scene where they yell at each other. And then another scene where they yell at each other. And every scene with them is just a bunch of childish insults, all yelled at maximum volume. Really dumb stuff. It's completely out of style with the rest of the movie. God what a mess.

Now the good. Raquel and Robert are marvelous in this movie. They both play fascinating characters. This movie could have been an absolute classic western. Two great characters, great music, a powerful story. It was just dying to be a classic. And it almost made it. I'd call it a minor classic.

Yes, Raquel is a very good actress. People who say she can't act are blinded by her dazzling beauty. In fact, she's every bit as good in this movie as Clint Eastwood is in the Spaghetti Westerns. In fact, I like this movie even more than those. So there.

Anyway, this movie is well worth seeing. I wish it would have had a sequel or two. That would have been fun.
