The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
Let There Be Light: The Films of John Huston
December 19, 2014 - January 11, 2015
Huston’s final Western is an ambling, charming shaggy-dog story peppered with outbursts of violence, anchored by a performance by Paul Newman at the height of his powers, and buttressed by a stellar supporting cast including Ava Gardner, Stacy Keach, and John Huston himself.
In a dusty, unregulated town on the West Texas frontier, an outlaw (Paul Newman) sets himself up—after completing a mass revenge killing—as a sort of vigilante justice of the peace. Huston’s final Western is an ambling, charming shaggy-dog story peppered with outbursts of violence, anchored by a performance by Newman at the height of his powers, and buttressed by a stellar supporting cast: Stacy Keach as an albino hit man, Anthony Perkins as a priest, Ava Gardner as an actress the judge lusts after from afar, and Huston himself as a grizzled mountain man who travels with a domesticated bear. From a screenplay by John Milius.
