Plot

A revisionist account of Billy the Kid.

Sinekatalog’s take

Arthur Penn's debut portrays Billy the Kid as a confused young outlaw. Paul Newman's moody performance and the film's psychological, revisionist angle make it a striking, if uneven, early anti-western.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
