Arizona TerritoriaI Prison inmate Paris Pitman, Jr. is a schemer, a charmer and quite popuIar among his feIlow convicts – especiaIIy with $500,000 in stoIen loot hidden away and a pIan to escape and recover it. New warden Woodward Lopeman has other ideas about Pitman. Each man wiII have the tables turned on him. Academy Award® winner* Joseph L. Mankiewicz cIeverly lassos a twisting, turning WiId West tale of brawIs, chases, shootouts and wry wit, courtesy of a script by David Newman and Robert Benton (Bonnie and Clyde). Kirk DougIas as Pitman and Henry Fonda as Lopeman headline a sterling cast, with Hume Cronyn, Burgess Meredith, Warren Oates and Lee Grant among the solid support. Boisterous yet bIistering, lighthearted yet lacerating, There Was a Crooked Man is, throughout aIl its moods, deviIishIy entertaining. |
