The Outlaw and The Breed. Billy Two Hats is directed by Ted Kotcheff and written by Alan Sharp. It stars Gregory Peck, Desi Arnaz Junior, Jack Warden, David Huddleston and Sian Barbara. Music is by John Scott and cinematography by Brian West. Interesting. Peck plays a grizzled Scottish outlaw and Arnaz Jr. the half-breed Indian of film’s title. They rob banks and have a sort of father and son relationship as they try to escape from vengeful racist Sheriff Gifford (Warden). So in essence it’s a buddy Western, albeit one that’s a bit off-beat and has grand ideas to be a religio parable of sorts. Unfortunately away from the unusual casting decisions which happen to entertain, it’s immeasurably dull on narrative terms and blandly photographed (in Israel) into the bargain. It’s not hard to see why it flopped upon release to theatres. The sporadic action passages are adequately performed, and the intentional humour hits the required mark, but by the time the boorish inter-racial relationship comes to the fore, you may find it hard to stay awake. 5/10
