“Surely one of the most direct, honest and accurate depictions of life in the u0026quot;Old West,u0026quot; the Grey Fox does not resort to violence, bluster or machismo to present its story. Instead, the film comes across as a story of a man whose life has gone wrong as the result of carefully thought out and well-reasoned choices, though nevertheless bad choices. This alone is particularly refreshing in a Western movie and makes the film a worthwhile experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe late Richard Farnsworth relies on his considerable skills as an actor and makes his character sympathetic and heroic, never losing sight that he is in fact a thief. The costumes, setting, dialog and yes, even the miserable weather are true to the historical period and makes the viewer feel as if they were there alongside the characters in this elegant story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a wonderful film and a visual feast!”
