Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Burt Lancaster's only stint at directing came in this film, The Kentuckian, about a frontier man who moves to Texas with his son in search of the American pioneering dream. Unexpectedly, for a man better known for his fighting action, Lancaster's direction reveals a more thoughtful side that concentrates on characters and relationships although a showdown does take place between the unarmed Lancaster and Walter Matthau in the latter's finest, and bloodiest bullwhipping moment.
