The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972). In Vinegaroon, Texas, former outlaw Roy Bean appoints himself the judge for the region and dispenses his brand of justice as he sees fit.
It’s not really a secret on here that Westerns just....really aren’t my thing. That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a good one, but they’re not a genre I feel overall much of a connection to, and I find they need to be really good for me to get into them. This one’s fine? It’s certainly bolstered by the charisma of Paul Newman and Ava Gardner, and it works fine as a slightly different take on the iconic genre and certainly has an opinion about loneliness and lawlesness, but yes. Just not really my thing. 6.5/10.
