' Maybe this isn't the way it was ... it's the way it should have been.' So begins the story of the self-proclaimed hanging judge who lived and terrorised a small west
Texas town at the end of the last century. Outlaws and strangers receive short shrift at the hands of Roy Bean -but no one suffers more cruelly than those who criticise his one and only love, the actress Lily Langtry. Veteran director John Huston blends facts and fantasy in this evocative portrait of the violent and lawless West.
Screenplay by JOHN MILIUS Produced by JOHN FOREMAN Directed by JOHN HUSTON
