Marlon Brando stars, and directs this western as Rio, along with his partner Dad played by Karl Malden who takes the loot and becomes a Sheriff waiting on Rio to show. After having a lot of problems behind the scenes, Stanley Kubrick quit the film, Brando wanting the right moments and being too drunk for a certain scene where his character was to be drunk, his directing skills are not the best but very amateurish. The pace does go slow and can drag on to the point of boredom but can be enjoyable, only one thing is I'm sure this was released in B&W and not in colour. 6 out of 10.

I t got an Academy Award nomination for it's cinematography and use of colour. Perhaps it's because it was filmed in Vistavision. All the restoration film pics look fantastic on Google.
