Review

Newman has a sardonic cool about him as a white man living among the Indians who journeys with a group of travelers on a stagecoach line's final voyage. Set in the last days of the Old West, director Ritt's riveting parable (based on an Elmore Leonard story) probes racial intolerance against Indians and the price of humanism as Newman and coriders March, Cilento and Balsam are up against bad guy Boone, highwaymen and the elements. A thoroughly satisfying western, featuring a terrific performance from Cilento as a gutsy widow.
