Harrowing trip across the desert with a baby and not enough water.
23 March 2022
I thought this film would be more three men and a baby and I couldn't have been more wrong. Three bank robbers come across a deadman being eaten by buzzards and then his horseless wagon that has his sick wife and baby in it. The mother dies leaving this baby...and after they blew up the watering hole with dynamite. Two of the three criminals wants to save the baby, the third who is the youngest and most heartless dies not. This becomes a harrowing trip across the desert on foot with little and then no water...in which they have to go back to the town they robbed.

The breakdown of these criminals and the erosion into humanity is interesting. This film was so dry, I needed a drink of water! Might have been a little heavy handed on the morality, but still enjoyable. Western.
