The Outrage (1964)
IMDB: The Outrage (1964)
Plot Outline:
A Mexican bandit, Juan Carrasco, spies a newlywed couple journeying through rugged country. He confronts them, rape and robbery on his mind, and the husband ends up dead. From the viewpoints of each participant and witness, a different story is told of what "really" happened.
This retelling of Rashomon, while minor in impact, was nevertheless an interesting piece, held together by the ensemble, including Paul Newman, who I didn't even recognize in his part of the Mexican bandit until 30 minutes into the film.
William Shatner's pastoral character was helped by Shatner's somewhat histrionic style - in this case, it wasn't laughable.
