What if there were electric guitars on the frontier? An existential rock-&-roll western starring Rubenstein and Johnson as gunfighters who join an outlaw gang played by Country Joe and the Fish. Belle Starr turns up, too, played archly by Pat Quinn, and the boys both dally a little, but in Englund's West the men are men and mostly have eyes for each other. If that all sounds a bit strange, wait till you see the movie. The expression "one of a kind" was invented for pictures like this.
