Monte Walsh (1970)

Lee Marvin and Jack Palance star in this leisurely character study of two old cowboys facing the end of the Old West. While the entire cast is excellent,  both Marvin and Palance are perfect as regular likable guys caught up in circumstances beyond their control.  A nice little movie, with some good moments, but needing more energy and better action scenes.  The movie often seems so intent on being "low-key" and "realistic" that it forgets to be entertaining.  Rating ***
