Written by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr., from the novel by Elmore Leonard, and directed by Martin Ritt, HOMBRE opens. Superb "revisionist" western feat. Paul Newman as taciturn, marginalised, Apache-raised white man pressed into rescuing group of stagecoach passengers waylaid by Richard Boone's avaricious bushwacker. With Diane Cilento, Frederic March and Martin Balsam.
