What Monte Walsh Is About

Monte Walsh is a cowboy getting older in the years when his trade is ending. As barbed wire and railway spread, fewer men are needed to work open country, and the options in front of Monte and his friends narrow every year. There is other work in town, but what they want is not work, it is the freedom. Eventually all of them have to say goodbye to the only life they know and try something else. William A. Fraker had spent years as a cinematographer; this was his first film as a director and it shows, in that it is beautifully shot. Lee Marvin, Jack Palance and Jeanne Moreau star.
