THE SHOOTING on TCM channel: This short (88 minutes) film is long
on atmosphere and mystery and slow to get to its twisty ending. Nevertheless,
it held my attention and kept me going because I wanted to know the
why's and the who's of it all. Very symbolic, the ending is subject to
interpretation. THREE STARS.
Here's the synopsis from the Rotten Tomatoes website:
In the American West, Willet Gashade (Warren Oates), a former bounty hunter, and Coley Boyard (Will Hutchins), his dimwitted partner, are approached by a secretive young woman (Millie Perkins) who offers them money to guide her through the desert but refuses to discuss why she is traveling. The group embarks on the journey and is eventually joined by Billy Spear (Jack Nicholson), a volatile gunslinger the woman has also hired. The only question is why.
