Kick-Back Friday: #75
Just released on DVD is the underappreciated Lonely Are the Brave (1962), based on an Edward Abbey novel and adapted for the screen by the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo.
An easy-going cowboy (Kirk Douglas, in what has to be one of his best performances) refuses to be fenced in by urban sprawl and the law. With fine, complementary work from Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau, and Whiskey the Horse and an over-the-top performance by George Kennedy.
