Red Headed Stranger (1986)
Pax and Michael finish up a Willie Nelson double header with Red Headed Stranger, also starring Morgan Fairchild, Katharine Ross, RG Armstrong, and Royal Dano.
I'm a fan of Robert Mitchum, mostly because of El Dorado with John Wayne. I've been watching more of his movies, and he has had a varied career from Noir, War Films, Westerns and Dramas. He's always very good even in mediocre movies. Some of Mitchum's standout westerns are: Rachel and the Stranger (1948), The Way West (1967), The Good Guys and the Bad Guys (1969), Young Billy Young (1969). Of course, my favorite Mitchum film is El Dorado with John Wayne!
I'm not a big fan of Willie Nelson and I didn't really care for Barbarosa, but this movie was better and I actually liked it even though I went in initially expecting to not like it.
