About this item
Amazon.com
The credits of Saddle the Wind feature two unlikely names to be connected with a Western: the script is by Rod Serling (pre-Twilight Zone), and the wind in need of saddling is personified by John Cassavetes, doing an 1860s variation on a 1950s juvenile delinquent. He's kid brother to Robert Taylor, an ex-gunfighter who's turned rancher with the blessing of range baron Donald Crisp. The peace of their CinemaScope-pretty valley is variously threatened by gunman Charles McGraw, an extended family of squatters (headed by Royal Dano in anguished righteousness mode), and most of all the volatile, gun-happy Cassavetes. Saddle the Wind turns out to be something of a discovery, thanks to Serling's metaphor-rich dialogue and intriguingly oblique direction by Robert Parrish. There's some facile '50s-TV psychologizing, but mood trumps plot, and the inevitable showdown takes a surprising turn. Plus it never hurts to have Julie London around to gaze soulfully and sing the title song. --Richard T. Jameson
Product Description
Saddle the Wind (DVD)
World-weary gunslinger Steve Sinclair (Rod Taylor) receives a plot of land to ranch ... with the condition that he control his younger brother Tony's violence. But the young gunslinger enjoys killing and believes his prowess with a six-gun makes him more of a man in the eyes of the saloon girl he desires. And the different aspirations of the two brothers fuels a sibling rivalry that explodes into violence. ]]>
