Great directing by Jack Nicholson himself. And his role as a crazed cowboy, who "falls in love" with Mary Steenburgen, is fun and energetic.
The story: Jack Nicholson is about to be hanged as a thief, but Mary Steenburgen saves him from the gallows and they become husband and wife. But not out of love, but out of necessity, because Mary needs a husband for hard labour to dig for gold in her mine. Will love blossom anyway?
Seen many seventies movies with Jack Nicholson and this is one of the most charming, funniest and energetic. It aint a western classic, but it is undeniably a charming western comedy story to watch, with good acting and funny plot turns. Suited for young and old.
score 7/10
