I revisited this Clint Eastwood vehicle yesterday. While not one of Clints' best Westerns, it's still pretty entertaining, with nice photography, a typically eclectic Lalo Schifrin score, and a fine supporting cast.

I need to go back and watch that myself. I can't remember much about it except that it had a good cast.

A very enjoyable Eastwood western. Simple, but well-shot and paced. What really makes me keep coming back to it, is the cast and their interactions. The banter between them was always amusing, especially Eastwood and Stroud.

One of my least favorite Clint Eastwood movies but still watchable. Haven't seen it in some years. I should revisit it. Kiff, to the projection room. Don't forget the butter this time.

Joe Kidd is not a great western, but it has a great performance by Robert Duvall as the cattle baron. There have been plenty of Southern villains in movies, but Duvall is one of the few to capture that unique Southern condescension, superficially polite but talking down to everyone, like a schoolmarm correcting a misbehaving child.
This is one of the great western heavies, along with Lee Marvin (Liberty Valance) and Richard Boone (The Tall T, Hombre, the otherwise mediocre Big Jake). IMHO Duvall is better here than he was that same year in The Godfather.

Perhaps Eastwood's weakest western and certainly one of his weakest films. I agree that Duvall was the silver lining that almost saved it.
