Bad Jim Summary
Director: Clyde Ware
Genres: Western
Rating:
Veteran Hollywood screenwriter Clyde_Ware handled the directing chores in Bad Jim. The film is worth noting as the cinematic debut of John_Clark_Gable, the son of guess who. Gable, James_Brolin, and Richard_Roundtree play three soft-hearted bandits who purchase a horse from Billy the Kid. They use the easily recognizable steed to convince their victims that they are members of Billy's gang-thus eliminating the nasty necessity of gunplay. One of the gang members breaks away from the others, taking the horse with him, and pretty soon he's every bit as mean and dangerous as the real Billy. The film's pace may be a bit too measured for some tastes, but the characters are believable and the story has its own peculiar logic. Bad Jim is slightly reminiscent of John_Ford's Three_Godfathers; both films, in fact, feature Harry_Carey_Jr. is a supporting role. Hal Erickson, Rovi
