2.0 out of 5 stars not there, April 16, 2008
First off, I'd like to say here and now, if this is the same author who wrote the classic crime novel THE STRAIGHT MAN (using a pen name), then, for that one alone, sir, my hat is off to you!

But here, with this book? Not so sure it is even worth the paper it's printed on.
Mainly, I bought it for info regarding the classic Brando western ONE EYED JACKS, wanting to read up on all the behind the scenes making of this fine oater, intsead what you basically get is bios of the cast, etc. Which, is not much at all, and does not give you the trials and tribulations on the making of this difficult production.

Is ONE EYED JACKS better than THE WILD BUNCH? The author of this weak tome does not think so. Me? As much as I like and respect the work of Bloody Sam, I must say Brando's film is better. Not a false note throughout. Brando, Malden, Jurado, Pickens, et al--turn in excellent performences.
Wish I could say the same about the author of THE CAVALRY CHARGES...
