Cahill U.S. Marshall/Cahill (1973) - John Wayne upholds the law in exciting late-career western



John Wayne takes yet another turn as the man of the law in Andrew V. McLaglen's Cahill U.S. Marshall

QUICK REVIEW:

Lawman Cahill is one of the hard dogs of the West, but he has never raised his sons right, and now they are involved in a bank robbery. But the bad guy, Fraser, is so evil that they don't dare talk to their Pa about it.
Cahill is a film with intense suspense and several great actor's performances. Elmer Bernstein's (Airplane! (1980)) music is peculiar for a western, - it is more urban crime-like. The film has atmospheric locations and a well-playing John Wayne (Stagecoach (1939)) in one of his last performances here. George Kennedy (Another Happy Day (2011)) as the ugly bastard Fraser is also worth seeing, and not least of all is Clay O'Brien (The Cowboys (1972)) a treat as little Billy Joe Cahill, a dougthy lad.
It is directed by Andrew V. McLaglen (The Wild Geese (1978)).
