I live in the Mojave Desert California and lived in Victorville for 35 years! It's fun to see the area and hear the references to the area. What a well acted movie! Redford played in several movies that weren't big hits,. In the box office but huge in quality for us movie lovers! Blake was so good! Clark n Ross very good as well!
Everybody deservse better than to live in a reservation..And yet what is more sad to me is that they have allowed their spiritual believes..rob them of their inner power...Because the Spirit of life is allways within men and not in clay or flesh...Believing that being disconnected from the land of their ancestors is so strong with in them that is is killing the emotionally and spiritually..leaving walk around like zombies( spiritually dead) Realizing that the Spirit is allways within them wherever they may go is what will give them back the wings to soar like eagles free and powerfull wherever they are.This proves how strong beliefsystems( vibrations of thought and emotion) are..
This is an underrated film that was released at the end of a tremendous decade of upheaval. I have watched it 3 or 4 times and I think its very well directed and photographed, the cast is fine especially Redford and Clark, and the editing is adroit. It is based on a true story and it actually does that story justice. The relationship between Clark and Redford is complex and well written and they both deliver strong performances. Amazing that Ross started her career with Butch Cassidy, The Graduate and this film.
My first viewing of this film and it was worth the wait.Good performances all-round and the majestic Mojave as the backdrop. The references to Palm Springs as a backwater tell us just how much California changed in a few years of the 20th century.
I just finished electric horseman. I decided to watch a few Redford films from the past. This was on the tube . Next might watch Jeremiah Johnson then maybe War Hunt . 🐎
Blake is a movie 🎥 legend! He is a real actor as so few. The audiences feel and respect his intensity and intentions! A wonderful performer and Excellent brilliant actor! RIP Mr. Blake-Baretta! You are the greatest!
I saw this when I was in high school 55 years ago. I forgot the story so I watch this again. I am a western movie fan. I'd like to watch movies written by Louis L ' amour.
Willie Boy's marker is located on Ruby Mountain, off Dixie Mine Road off Old Woman Springs Road (247) North out of Yucca Valley. Been past it a hundred times, never knew it was there. Sad story. Hunted down like a dog just because he loved a woman. He was a local legend where I spent much of my chilhood. My best friend was a Morongo Indian. Dirt poor. I used to go out into the desert and pretend I was Willie Boy escaping the whites. My friend would be the Sheriff. He always caught me, but I sure learned a lot about the desert. It wasn't exactly the best jungle training for Vietnam, but the fieldcraft experience was invaluable.
My grandma, great uncle and great aunt lived in Twentnine Palms where we'd come visit often. Now there's a bunch of murals there, I saw on line. To be honest, I wasn't raised to see race or color, or discrimination in that way. It's something we're taught gradually, sadly, but we can make better choices by getting the right association of enlightened people. My great aunt & uncle traveled the world but never moved from their place (with a pool) in Twentnine Palms.
@@tulayamalavenapi4028 We lived in Joshua Tree. My wife's parents lived in 29. I worked for GTE in the 70's and got around a lot. My wife and I bought an homestead shack and 5 acres overlooking Joshua Tree monument. Sadly, we had to move to Huntinton Beach for business purposes. The home I built is still there and I miss it. Favorite home I ever built.
Outstanding movie ,such a stellar performances robert Redford , Blake nailed it screenplay , Abraham Polanski at epitome of his direction ,great one ,fantastic western classic , don't miss it.
A fine, multi-layered film, that one can delve down into just about as deep as one desires. Some interesting scripted, dramatic, contrasts. Fine performances all around; especially impressive for me, was Katherine Ross - whom I hardly recognized.
My grandma, great uncle and great aunt lived in Twentnine Palms Ca. We'd climb "Chocolate Drop" mountain and search for arrowheads in the monument. What a place. Coyotes, tumbleweeds, cactus, roadrunners, Marine base, lots of quiet, blue sky and time on our hands. My great aunt & uncle traveled the world tho. Trips to places few Americans would go to at the time. Like behind the "Iron curtain", Egypt, the Amazon, and they brought back photos in their camera, which my aunt developed in her dark room (converted bathroom). She is my fairy godmother, and lived past 100 years. What a beautiful soul, Grace Kingman.
I love a lot of things about this movie, except Katherine Ross in brownface. I actually gasped when I saw her. I forgot old movies used to do that. A sign of the times back then.
LaJewel What’s wrong with brown face? Feeling sensitive lately? Emotional? Haven’t seen the movie by the Wayans brothers, White Chicks lately? That’s the problem with you Leftist Liberals, your pathological altruism
Was Lola a suicide by choice, or did Willie kill her? What is the meaning of the peaceful face of death? The aftermath lingers. I think it's a great movie! Personally, it's in my top 10 best western movies.
This movie is interesting. The cast, Refford and Ross, Blake, Clarck are always worth it. It is not the best western that I have seen but you can see it. They are all very young but point ways. Thanks ....
I love Robert Redfords short to the point some time's sharp, other times eloquent, one liners. Is there a bad Robert Redford movie, when he made Brubaker the new warden he broke a molded standard for character betraying, this movie and the other epic forms of storytelling.
Very good. Saw before I think with a different version. I think there are three versions. I used to live in Yucca Valley where some of this happened. Thanks for sharing.
A bit ponderous but along with other good films of the era it has to be credited with helping to bring about a sympathetic attitude to the plight of native Americans who suffered terribly at the hands of the whites. Willie could have been played by an Indian but I doubt audiences of the time would have been quite as receptive such was the prevailing mindset of the time.
I don't think it would've made audiences any less receptive if he'd been played by an Indian; I just think there were very few Indian actors (if any) who auditioned for the role. Acting looks easy, but it's really a very difficult skill to do well. This is why I don't mind when white actors and actresses play people like me (which Hollywood has done throughout its history, even using brown makeup and colored contacts and, in the 1960s, sometimes even entirely prosthetic eyelids). It would be awesome if there were actors and actresses of every race, but ultimately what matters is if they do a good job of capturing the audience with an empathetic performance. I only ever play extras, I don't have the skill to play an actual role. And that's fine; everyone has different gifts in life.
Really great movie. Willie wanted to live s free man and die like one. He had the chance to kill the Sheriff and the others but he didn’t do it. They should have left him alone.
Very cool! Never realized this was a true story. I actually live in Victorville (mentioned in the movie) and we're about an hours drive to the Morongo Indian reservation/Banning.
But how could it end otherwise is my query. It should have gone to court (white mans) or council (native American). I'm not sure how the Native Americans deal with murder, (the initial murder being Lola's father), and if that was self-defense on Willie's part or not isn't clear, but certainly if it wasn't self defense, Willie would know in his heart that there would be a reaction. And even if it was, he probably didn't trust a fair "trial" because so many white people didn't like the Indians no matter what.
never ever seen this movie. But WOW!! Really Really Great film! Different. A plea from indigeones peoples to be left to their ways, reflection of encroaching modern "civilization", and a sheriff who, rather balances on a tight rope between the "new way of modern and progressing times", and the world values of "the Real People", finds where his truth lives....
Robert Blake was in excellent shape. This is one of his best movies. RIP Mr. Blake.
One of my favorite Redford movies. I can rewatch this one over and over. Too bad we don’t get films like this anymore.
Remember the man saying you can't catch Willie he's like a cloud was The Cloud of smoke at the end Willie escaping
RIP Robert Blake. you were one of my favorites. Grew up watching you grow up.

Ya, I've grown up around the Banning pass/ Coachella valley where this took place
Great movie. Really. One of the last I watched with my dad before he passed away. We were both amazed.
*,j*llllllllll
Racist movie.
Hey friend, your dad sounds like a real cool guy. Best wishes to you and your family from Trinidad.
Loved the film, very truthful and very sad. The natives deserved a lot better than a reserve. It was and still is their country
Everybody deservse better than to live in a reservation..And yet what is more sad to me is that they have allowed their spiritual believes..rob them of their inner power...Because the Spirit of life is allways within men and not in clay or flesh...Believing that being disconnected from the land of their ancestors is so strong with in them that is is killing the emotionally and spiritually..leaving walk around like zombies( spiritually dead) Realizing that the Spirit is allways within them wherever they may go is what will give them back the wings to soar like eagles free and powerfull wherever they are.This proves how strong beliefsystems( vibrations of thought and emotion) are..
The world is a product of conquest, North America is no different.
Oh stop it
It’s not just their country anymore
No, it's not.
Amazing, so much depth of meaning, may we all learn from it.

Both Robert Redford n Robert Blake acted superbly in this underrated western movie.Nice to watch again but on big screen would have been excellent.
I've seen lots of westerns. But this is by far one of the best!
My first viewing of this film and it was worth the wait.Good performances all-round and the majestic Mojave as the backdrop.
The references to Palm Springs as a backwater tell us just how much California changed in a few years of the 20th century.
Merci ;
Morongo Valley , & Banning east of San Bernardino.......
Agreed : "the majestic Mohave" .
Mojave is east of Tehachapi this is in the hills North of Riverside
i remember my sister telling me about this movie when it first came out. she said i should see it. it only took me 50 years. good movie.
only 50 years lul
You'll have that

Hey. I have a question... Who's that in the kitchen with you? I believe they play banjo.... I've always wondered.
Good movie. Solid performances from Redford and Blake.
I saw this in 1970 and enjoyed seeing it again.

Robert Redford and Robert Blake who could imagine a better draw such a great duo thank you for putting this up

Racist Movie.
Hard to believe a woman would be tearful and reluctant undressing for Redford in his prime.
Awesome soundtrack to a real good movie. Robert Blake at his best.
Agreed! While the soundtrack is somewhat sparse, for me it is hauntingly beautiful, coupled as it is with ambient sounds and the sighing of the wind.
Thank you so much for this upload. I've been looking for this for a while.
Saw this movie in the 70's, loved it then❤, & still do!! GREAT MOVIE😋👍👍

Thanks for a good movie and your effort to putting it on here❤😊
This and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are both from 1969, and both have not only Robert Redford, but Katherine Ross in starring roles.
And that's the formula for rock and roll!!!
Glad the gist of the story is told to be read. It save the time watching it. I just hate unhappy endings. It makes me unable to sleep.
Albert Madin Stick with bedtime stories then.

Yeah you must be a little snowflake
Is a lot of good movies out there, the most real westerns show the courage strength bravery and honor the First Nations people.
Super Film Dankeschön 😊 😊 👍 👍 👌 👌 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Not sure if Charles Bronson didn't want to do this movie.. but Willie Boy sure looks a lot like him. All around .it was a great movie.
I think Blake has same kind of voice and inflection in his words as Bronson! I see the similarities as well!
Was Lola a suicide by choice, or did Willie kill her? What is the meaning of the peaceful face of death?
The aftermath lingers.
I think it's a great movie! Personally, it's in my top 10 best western movies.
I kept waiting for her to wake up and tell them it was all a ruse.
GREAT MOVIE ! FRIDAY 1/27/23 JANUARY 27, 2023
Fantastic film, could watch it over and over..
The shot at 130:40 is fantastic, what a great composition.
Excellent movie, thanks for posting, and thumb up.
One of my top 10 favorite westerns of all time
Saw it also years ago, well made film!
Mr. Blake another Oscar Nomination!
Worth watching twice.
Strange how Blake's life imitated his performances.
44:10 holds a special place in my heart🔥
Thank you !!!
Thx for sharing Grjngo, i really preciate your movies. This is a good movie👍👍
Robert Blake and Redford we're both great in this movie.
This movie is interesting. The cast, Refford and Ross, Blake, Clarck are always worth it.
It is not the best western that I have seen but you can see it. They are all very young but point ways. Thanks ....
What is the best one you’ve seen?

Robert Redford doing a job of Patriotic Heroism.
I do like this movie with Robert b and Kat ross. (thanks for showing it)
Nice quality. thank you.
The roman numerals say this movie came out in 1969, some 51 years ago. I was 14 at the time and I still have the hots for Katharine Ross!
same here man,she is one hawt lady
She was fine then, her and Jane Seymour
The music is so entrancing and soothing.
Agreed !!
Very underrated movie, chalked full of nuance.
44:10 the producer tag for Willie G.
Robert did his own stunt jumping from that train. Excellent film!
He must have had practice from Butch and the Sundance Kid.

Really great movie. Willie wanted to live s free man and die like one. He had the chance to kill the Sheriff and the others but he didn’t do it. They should have left him alone.
22:26, 31:21, 1:03:51 When people start blaming you for their own poor decisions, it's time to leave.
Muito bom Filme,adorei. E com Robert RedFord ficou melhor.
Very cool! Never realized this was a true story. I actually live in Victorville (mentioned in the movie) and we're about an hours drive to the Morongo Indian reservation/Banning.
Supposedly,Willie threw his gun into the pond at the Oasis in 29 Palms
I KEPT LOOKING FOR THE CASINO AND THE SCALE HOUSE...
Another decent movie thanks Grjnjo-Western Movies.
Freedom needs sacrifices. Very very beautiful movie. Thanks
Grjngo - Western Movies.
Great movie and a very sad ending somewhat like Romeo and Juliette.
think im crushing hard on the young Robert blake!!
To me Robert Blake is a poorman's Bronson.
My favorite line. You’ll never catch Willie: he’s like a cloud
How about the cloud at the very end from Willie's fire
Very beautiful movie
🤠👌🎬🍿
Sons of this pepole is my 63 grandmas freinds who played in this movie!
This is such an underrated movie!
Filme Maravilhoso, Robert Redford excelente como sempre!!!
Robert Redford!

It be good old westerns of the 60s 70s
I still live in this area (Riverside). Taft's huge chair is still inside the Mission Inn.
The ranch house was at Gilman museum in Banning. They occassionally show this movie there.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS YOUNG

Gostei comento em portugues sou brasileiro recomendo e agradeço
I have been to the canyon in Morongo Valley where the final shoot out with Willie happened. There is a historical marker on that spot.
Now I've seen Robert Redford in Real Movies like this. Very Challenging..
great lesser known western. when 'based on a true story' meant something
good all way through
Thanks
Robert Blake was a good actor,, Baretta, Electra Glide in Blue.
and murderer.
Acquitted.
In Cold Blood
He should be sharing a cell with Phil Spector
