Rancho Deluxe (1975)

Rancho Deluxe: Directed by Frank Perry. With Jeff Bridges, Sam Waterston, Elizabeth Ashley, Clifton James. Two drifters, of widely varying backgrounds, rustle cattle and try to avoid being caught in contemporary Montana.

“My favorite u0026quot;modernu0026quot; western with a great cast, solid story line and plenty of laughs. Music in the background by Jimmy Buffet is a delight. Not a serious, complicated story but one that is interesting enough to make you stick around and enjoy the performances of Bridges, Waterston, Ashley, Dallas and Pickins. Slimu0026#39;s line after he cuts out the slug that downed a steer out on the cold Montana range, (he identifies the bullet as coming from a 50 caliber Sharps rifle) u0026quot;This is startinu0026#39; to git downright romantic!u0026quot; is a hoot. Sexy Charlene Dallas playing her role as the innocent niece made me want to see more of her. To top it all are the great wide open spaces of Montana as backdrop to the film. The ideal movie to view on a weekend afternoon with lots of popcorn and a cold glass, or hot cup of your favorite beverage.”
