Perhaps, one of the most under-rated westerns and movies of all times in India, at least. But maybe not so, among buffs.
Indians perhaps saw, really really saw Robert Redford as a true genius in this movie. What struck me most, was the movement of the story from the US to South America and the cowboys and lifestyle in those locations.
The cycle scene, with Robert Redford and Katharine Ross is of course Cinema History. And the last gunfight, almost similarly depicted in Sholay, Mera Gaon Mera Desh and a score of other movies, ... but not enough to beat the last move... leaves you gasping for breath, scene after scene after scene.
