Joe Kidd


Joe Kidd is not a great western, but it has a great performance by Robert Duvall as the cattle baron. There have been plenty of Southern villains in movies, but Duvall is one of the few to capture that unique Southern condescension, superficially polite but talking down to everyone, like a schoolmarm correcting a misbehaving child.

This is one of the great western heavies, along with Lee Marvin (Liberty Valance) and Richard Boone (The Tall T, the otherwise mediocre Big Jake). IMHO Duvall is better here than he was that same year in The Godfather.

Don't you be bad talking Big Jake. A dog named dog. Both his sons. I thought you were dead.
