LONELY ARE THE BRAVE

USA | 1962 | 35mm | 107 min.
Director: David Miller
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau
Douglas plays Jack Burns, a hard-living, old-fashioned cowboy in a very modern world. When Burns is busted and escapes from jail, he and his magnificent horse Whiskey attempt to elude a posse (who use helicopters) through rugged Southwestern territory. Like Spartacus, Lonely Are the Brave features a screenplay by the formerly blacklisted Dalton Trumbo.
