The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

1972 120 min PG Western · Comedy

If this story ain't true... it shoulda been!

This frontier justice comic seems to believe its own saloon-law is the law of the land. In a lawless patch of Texas, a flamboyant judge turns his courtroom into a one-man town hall, meting out sentences with a sense of theater no statute ever required. Admittedly it runs a little long for a hanging judge.

Directed by John Huston · Written by John Milius

Starring Paul Newman, Victoria Principal, Ned Beatty, Matt Clark, Roddy McDowall, Jacqueline Bisset
