Featured review
Another Account Of An Oft Told Tale
There are occasions when the the title does tell all as in the case of The Law vs. Billy The Kid. There've been so many versions of Billy Bonney's story, just about everyone knows it and every western fans should.
Scott Brady and James Griffith play Billy and Pat Garrettnin this film. Billy's fleeing to New Mexico territory away from a murder charge and Garrett's his pal from a ranch the two had been working on. John Tunstall, played here by Paul Cavanaugh, takes the two of them in and isn't long before the two are hip deep in the Lincoln County range war of western lore.
Billy gets a love interest here, the fictional niece of Tunstall played by Betta St. John. As Brady plays him Billy's a kid with a quick temper who likes to do things his way which usually involves violence. Not terribly different from many of the screen's William Bonneys.
For those who remember the jolly but exasperated Skipper of Gilligan's Island the revelation will be Alan Hale, Jr. playing a sadistic deputy sheriff who is Brady's tormentor. The Law vs. Billy The Kid is yet another account of an oft told tale.
