The Villain | Year: 1979 Classification: Western Directed: - Hal Needham Actors/Actresses: - Kirk Douglas - Ann-Margret - Arnold Schwarzenegger 'Charming, just charming' The Villain is a curiosity piece. After sitting through the whole 90 minutes (believe me, that's one hell of an accomplishment with this film), I've come away wondering who is this film aimed at? Part Road Runner film, part cowboy film and part comedy. Most of the humour is too silly for adults; it's mainly aimed at 5 year olds apart from when Charming Jones (Ann-Margret) is on camera - she is the only genuinly funny character which the adults can laugh at, she openly mocks her own endowments and frustrations by the lack of 'attention' shown to her by Handsome Stranger. Arnold and Kirk are both lost with their characters. The real stars are buxum Charming Jones (Ann-Margret), Lucky (the horse) and Nervous Elk (played by a very funny Paul Lynde). I give the film 2 stars - 1 star for a very funny performance by Ann-Margret and the 2nd to the horse trainer! A cinematic cartoon As other reviewers have already indicated, this is like a Road Runner cartoon only with real actors - Kirk Douglas, Ann Margaret and of course Arnold who plays the handsome stranger. As if everthingelse isn't funny, seeing Arnold play a cowboy with a hulking physique and sounding like Dracula is amusing. 1 star reviewers don't get it, this movie was never intended to be a John Wayne type of western--it's supposed to be and is funny! cactus jack the early years The Movie advertised is wrestling NOY A MOVIE = no Ann Margaret , NO Krik Douglas- the description belongs to The Villian not the Title listed Buy The Villain at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
