Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a film critique and a polemic on the notion of critique itself. With off-the-cuff panache, Gifford looks at a film with a unique history after passing through several writers hands, including Stanley Kubricks, One-Eyed Jacks became the first (and final) film to be directed by Marlon Brando, who took the starring role as well. In Giffords view, Brando breathes life into the old Western clichs, even as he reinforces them and the critics question his integrity.
