"Will Penny" is a famous western film that I recently revisited. I remembered the best parts from seeing it years ago, however there are many parts of this film that are not very good. It leaves one with very mixed feelings about the film overall. The second half is decidedly better than the first. The film is at its finest when focused on the interactions between Charlton Heston and the woman (Joan Hackett) and the boy. There is a lot to like there, but unfortunately a lot of the remainder of the runtime is not so good and tough to watch and care about. Though the musical score and scenery are good. So, all in all it is a difficult film to rate, I fast forwarded some of the slow meandering parts, especially in the first half; I didn't like the other secondary characters; but the ending was good I thought. I'll rate it a 4/10 I guess.
