Them what knows say that Steve was hung,
By
This review is from: The Hanged Man (DVD)
Underneath that red divot in the failed TV pilot THE HANGED MAN is Steve Forrest. Also here in a small role is Robert Mitchum's kid brother, John.This film's curious premise is that an atheistic gunman somehow survives the gallows and in a reborn fit of cosmic do-goodery he roams the west looking to help folks in distress. His first (and it seems only) beneficiaries are a widow and child who are actively harrassed by an unscrupulous land baron (aren't they all, though?). Forrest is alleged to have psychic powers but they're too intermittent to be relied upon. Bad guy Cameron Mitchell chews scenery, screen time and everything else save horseshoe nails and cactus needles. Sharon Acker as the "woe is me" female lead acquits herself as well as possible in such a dumb story as this. It's no wonder that the only place this proposed TV series went was on a warehouse back shelf. In fact, when it was placed there all the other bad pilots moved over. NOTE: Gray market discs such as this offer no commentary, deleted scenes or other bonus features. Dubs are "best available source" and can vary from very good to only fair. Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb user poll rating. (5.5) The Hanged Man (TV-1974) - Steve Forrest/Dean Jagger/Will Geer/Sharon Acker/Cameron Mitchell/John Mitchum/Hank Worden |
