Featured review
Last of the Desperadoes
After Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett kills Billy the Kid, Billy's gang plan
to get Garrett to settle the score. After two innocent men are shot down,
Garrett resigns and leaves town, believing this act will save lives. He
settles down in Tascosa, New Mexico, under an alias, and meets Sarita
McGuire who hires him as a bartender in her saloon. She falls in love with
Garrett and tells him she was once married to Billy the Kid. Garrett's
former deputy, John Poe discovers Garrett working in the saloon, and
they decide to go back to Lincoln and face Billy's gang.
A little lethargic and routine in places, however The Last of the Desperadoes is not a bad western which features the historical character Pat the Garrett - the film starts with Garrett shooting Billy the kid in a darkened room, which gives him a notorious reputation and puts Billy the Kid's trail pardners on his tail. It's so bad that Garrett has to move to another town, shave his moustache off, change his name, become a storekeeper, but, as we soon learn, that is not enough and the old gang of Billy the Kid are flinging lead his way. There's some fine acting, maybe a little stiff in places, but good enough and the shootouts keep things interesting. The story idea is quite good.
