Probably the best film of the Billy The Kid story, although it is a bit over-dramatic, Paul Newman shows what a great dramatic actor he was, and John Dehner is great as Pat Garrett, Lita Milan provides the beauty, and what a beauty, whilst all the other's have since passed away, she still lives in Madrid now in her late 80's.
The film is directed well by Arthur Penn, and is well made, the music is over dramatic though and the B&W film of the day does not help with photography, this would benefit from being translated into colour if they can.
if it was not so over-dramatic I would give it an 8, but that's the way Hollywood rolled in those days, they knew their audience, who liked it that way, but it looks dated now because of it, still a very good film though.
