Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe character Nevada Smith was supposed to be 16. He was played by 35-year-old Steve McQueen.
- GoofsWhen Max Sand (pretending to be Tom Fitch) gets busted out of prison by Fitch's buddies, he climbs out of the busted jail window with his gunbelt on. If he was in a jail cell, he wouldn't have had his gunbelt with him.
Why ever not? Jails then were quite different from those of today, with different standards. They had his pistol, the gunbelt is mostly harmless - it wasn't like he was going to whittle a gun out of balsa wood.

More Intense Revenge
This was a western with a good cast and another intense, interesting revenge story. It's fairly long at 130 minutes but Steve McQueen is usually charismatic enough to carry a film, and he does so here, too.
As the title character, "Nevada Smith," McQueen is joined by a number of well- known actors of the 1960s: Suzanne Pleshette, Karl Malden, Brian Keith, Arthur Kennedy, Raf Vallone, Martin Landau Janet Margolin and Pat Hingle.
McQueen plays a man who is totally dominated by thoughts of revenge. It motivates his every move. I don't recommend that attitude, but it makes for a good movie.
It was nice to see this in 2:35:1 widescreen. Even though I owned a new tape, that nice western photography made the DVD purchase worthwhile.
