Review of Gone with the West

James Caan, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Stefanie Powers star in this film. The story revolves around a notorious character in town who has stolen Caan’s character’s cattle and then molested the character portrayed by Stefanie Powers, Little Moon. Powers and Caan then attempt to exact revenge on the bad guy (portrayed by Aldo Ray) by destroying the guy’s town. Like most films of this type there is plenty of gunfighting and Sammy Davis, Jr. plays a gunslinger who is hired by Ray. One interesting fact that many viewers might not be aware of is that there was no special training needed or even a stand-in required for those exciting scenes with Sammy Davis, Jr.

In ‘real’ life he was already a fairly quick draw. Some reports, in fact, indicate that he might have been one of the fastest around during this time period. Be sure to watch him close during the fight scenes and you’ll see that it’s really him and not a stunt man.

With a cast of big names and plenty of gun fights along with comedic relief, this is one film you will absolutely love. The first rate cast really brings a lot to this film. You’ll be on the edge of your seat as the main characters attempt to exact revenge for the wrong that has been done to them. Without giving too much away and spoiling the ending, you will definitely feel everything turned out just the way it was supposed to by the end.
