In the midsixties, the maverick American director Monte HeIlman conceived of two westerns at the same time. DreamIike and gritty by turns, these films would prove their maker's adeptness at briIIiantly deconstructing genre. Shot back-to-back for famed producer Roger Corman, they feature overlapping casts and crews, including Jack NichoIson in two of his meatiest early roIes. The Shooting, about a motley assortment of loners foIlowing a mysterious wanted man through a desolate frontier, and Ride in the Whirlwind, about a group of cowhands pursued by vigiIantes for crimes they did not commit, are rigorous, artful, and wholly unconventionaI journeys to the Old West. |
