The Shooting [1966 film]

Description
In the mid-sixties, the maverick American director Monte Hellman conceived of two westerns at the same time. As shot back-to-back for famed producer Roger Corman, they feature overlapping casts and crews. The films - The Shooting, about a motley assortment of loners following a mysterious wanted man through a desolate frontier, and Ride in the Whirlwind, about a group of cowhands pursued by vigilantes for crimes they did not commit, are rigorous, artful, and wholly unconventional journeys.Tags

T/FB/TCM: 2026 movie #88. 1966. A bounty hunter and his dimwitted friend agree to guide a mysterious woman into the Utah desert for unknown reasons. A young Jack Nicholson shows up to add menace. The first existential Western but recognizable as a Western. Shot on a shoestring but striking
