(1975) Posse
WESTERN
Co-produced, directed and starred Kirk Douglas as Sheriff Howard Nightingale who has just wiped out the Strawhorn Brothers by use of burning them in a barn in the middle of the night for robbing a train, and chooses this type of direction because of a ploy to win the senator's position with it's goal was to submit a railroad station to the town. After learning about one of the Strawhorn brothers coincidental near escape, he and his five personally hired deputies then sets his sights on capturing the only living Strawhorn brother, Jack Strawhorn played by Bruce Dern, and of course succeeds on doing just that but with some strange luck turn the tables on the Sheriff. Hardly any plot but still an interesting turn of events which is nothing more but criticism of the wild west! Straight forward and probable Western commentary film about the bad are not so bad and the good are not entirely so good!
