The Big Country
Directed by William Wyler
1958
★ 3.0 editorial score
Jerome Moross wrote the score American westerns have been quoting ever since: a sea captain arrives in Texas and refuses to prove anything to anybody, which nobody there can forgive.
“The Big Country is a two-hour-and-forty-six-minute Western designed to demonstrate that men should live in peace. But before this indisputable bit of wisdom is conveyed to most of the parties involved, the screen has been crowded with quarreling and fighting and three of said parties have been killed.”
