THE APPALOOSA opens in NY. Written by James Bridges and Ronald Kibbee, directed by Sidney J. Furie. Slight, offbeat, quasi-Spaghetti Western curio centering on a Civil War vet's obsessive quest to reclaim his stolen horse from oily Mexican bandido. A somnolent Marlon Brando soundly out-acted by terrific John Saxon. Aso starring Anjanette Comer.
