Different parts call for different heavies. I have a certain presence. I play against that presence a lot of times. One school of heavy that kind of came in vogue, I use it, Warren Oates  used it for a while, Jack Elam  did with his own twist, and that's of a heavy that is not crazy or deranged--although we play those, of course--but rather someone who is a heavy because he enjoys being a heavy. I've done 25, 30, 50 different types of heavies, a shade here, a shade there . . . it's really hard to say what they're looking for when they pick me. A lot of times your heavy is not that well presented in the script. Most times he's too one-sided. So we look for things to bring to being a heavy: a certain softness; a vulnerability that makes him human; a quiet moment when he's a screamer most of the time; a look; the way he dresses; the way he walks into a room. There are many things that contribute to why a casting director will choose me over someone else . . . or someone else over me. -L.Q. Jones

Summary: A group of ageing outlaws led by one Pike Bishop (William Holden) agree to transport arms to General Mapache (Emilio Fernandez). Hot on their trail are a group of bounty hunters led by Bishop's former partner, Deke Thornton (Robert Ryan).

Cutting-edge anti-Western that’s barely aged in last 54 years. Darkly funny and incredibly violent with much to say about latter.

Rating: 4.25/5
