The Missouri Breaks
This
movie is regarded as sort of an "anti Western", which seems to be how
most movies that don't fit into the 1950s formula of a Western are
regarded. But its a nice treatment of the northern Plains in the late
19th Century. The Marlon Brando bounty hunter character is really an
oddly played character, and I'd exempt that portrayal out of this entry,
but the other characters are well played.
Some odd details are actually done correctly in the film which rarely are. The treatment of a small homestead is correct in appearance and in its small nature, which seems to be rarely done in films. And the clothing is correct, which is somewhat unusual for a film made prior to Lonesome Dove.
