Movie Reviews of Comes a Horseman
Movie Review: A WELL-ACTED, WESTERN -ROMANCE, WITH STUNNING CINEMATOGRAPHY
Summary: 5 Stars
Pakula did a fine job of capturing the grandeur of the 'fading' West in this sweeping tale of greed, passion, betrayal, and murder. I watched it six, or seven times on the big screen when it first came out, possibly because I felt it was an excellent re-uniting of Fonda, and Robards ( two of my favorite actors ), and was quite surprised by how good Caan was in his role as the laconic neighbor of the feisty, embittered widow that Fonda plays. Richard Farnsworth, however, was simply incredible as Fonda's aging ranch hand, and the quiet dignity, and humor he brings to the role is a fitting match for the awesome landscape he seems so much a part of. It should be in the collection of any fan of Fonda, Caan, Robards, or anyone that just enjoys a well-told western yarn.

Richard Farnsworth received an Oscar nomination for this 1978 film, directed by the late Alan J. Pakula. He plays an aging ranch hand in the late 1940s, working for Jane Fonda. She's being pressured by her greedy neighbor, Jason Robards, to sell him her land--this after he has had her father murdered to expedite the sale. Robards wants the land because he knows it's full of oil, but he's not about to tell her that. Rather, he relentlessly strong-arms her and the rest of his neighbors, resorting to violence and killing when he doesn't get his way, knowing he's already bought the cooperation of the law. But Fonda, aided by returning World War II veteran and cowpuncher James Caan, stands up to Robards, setting off an almost biblically violent confrontation. Comes a Horseman was sumptuously photographed by Gordon Willis, who captures the true sweep of the wide open spaces, and strong acting overcomes what charitably could be described as a stately pace. As for Farnsworth, he brings a tastily understated quality to the role of the old cowpoke who knows he's signed on for his last roundup but has the grit to stick it out. --Marshall Fine
