Revenge of the Half Breed!

It started a wee bit slow and then the action mounts as a young Steve McQueen takes on the baddies who killed his white father and native Indian mother. Karl Malden even had his tobacco pouch made from the treated dried breast skin of his native mother!

Max Sand changed his name to Nevada Smith to hunt down his parent's killers. He even went to jail to get one of his man. The most memorable scene were at the swamp prison when ladies of the night came in to the men's dormitory to partake of sex. The swamp escape was equally exciting.

That Nevada Smith let Karl Malden to live at the end of the film symbolises the changing of the man into a civilised forgiving man.

Good, watchable fare.
