Peter Fonda's outstanding and "golden" performance in his career as a beekeeper, and a very reliable use of storytelling are two super strengths that would make ULEE'S GOLD worth recommending to most. In case the title may fool you as a Western, well, it's not, but it makes perfectly common sense about the troubled life and times in and out of the honey business. There aren't a whole lot of detailed observations to discover, largely due to excessive periods of talk. That might explain why the film should have needed a boost of speed to begin with, and it also needed more interactivity with the wife Fonda brought back home. But let's focus on Peter "EASY RIDER" Fonda for a brief moment. His use of rewarding acting brilliance as a beekeeper would be similar to a true father of the family. I'll have to say this being the greatest mass transition from all things said and done in long-late and lamented biker movies from the past. Bottom line is this: ULEE'S GOLD isn't for those who won't have interest in dramas written like paperback novels, but every now and then, a movie can demonstrate new ideas out of anything that can go far beyond the limits of what was not thought possible. And in this case, Peter Fonda. Don't you wish you hadn't felt the sting?
