Customer Reviews of Comes a Horseman (Widescreen Edition)
When Comes The End Of This Movie? This is a very tedious movie about a female rancher played by Jane Fonda who is trying to eek out a living. At the same time she is trying to atone for fornicating with THE BAD GUY which broke her daddy's heart.So she kinda has her hands full. Then James Cann arrives all shot up and she has to be a nurse too!Then the two of them along with their elderly ranch hand try to drive cattle and make a good sale.This movie is only redeemed by the wonderful performance of veteran actor Richard Farnsworth who I understand started his career as a stuntman. J.R. Ewing's Daddy is also in thus movie with the unlikely name of "Julie".
Comes a Horseman
<
>COMES A HORSEMAN is a romance wrapped in a western. The local cattle baron (Jason Robards) wants to drive out rancher Jane Fonda, who has hired on local wrangler James Caan to help her make it through one more hard year. Complicating things in this World War II era tale is the oil company that wants everybody's land.
<
> With some truly beautiful wide angle photography, a plethora of establishing shots and a dearth of tight close ups, COMES A HORSEMAN is an more an actor's than an editor's movie that works as well as it does because it has an excellent cast at the top of their game. Director Alan Pakula often pulls the camera back and allows his actors room to discover their character and the meaning of the scene.

> I only had two problems with this movie. I felt the ending, the final confrontation between bad guy Robards and good gal Fonda, was a bit contrived . The other problem was a puzzler - weren't their any doctors in cattle country America in 1945? A couple of characters get busted up pretty badly in the course of things and they're dumped into a bed with a damp handkerchief on the forehead with nary a doctor in sight. It didn't bother me much when Caan was laid up without professional medical care, but I hated to see poor Dodger (Richard Farnsworth) treated in such a manner.

Dark and hauting western.very underated
This is another fine example of a very underated film release during late 70s ,starring the legendary James Caan , the always superb Jane Fonda and jason Robard in a truly great villian role.They dont make this kind of film anymore.Buy the DVD and judge yourself.Dont expect to see a slam bang action western,there is a fist fight and gun fight but fast and stylishly done by the director.A cinematic masterpiece
