Entertainment Reviews:
Jason Robards is superb in the title role of a prospector and desert rat who nearly dies in the desert before discovering a freshwater spring and reinventing himself as an entrepreneur.
Wall Street Journal
Gentle, affecting, balanced and very funny.

Los Angeles Free Press
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Not a hit at the box office, it remains one of his finest efforts, funny, touching and never mawkishly sentimental.

TV Guide
Robards' warm performance makes the film into a casual delight.

Combustible Celluloid
Sam Peckinpah followed The Wild Bunch with this intimate, eccentric, appealing 1970 comedy, which treats many of the same themes in a soft, regretful mode.

Chicago Reader
Jason Robards shines in one of his most touching and humorous performances, and David Warner is memorable as a sinning preacher man.

Product Description:
This charming comic western features a winning performance by star Jason Robards as prospector Calble Hogue. Double-crossed and left for dead in the desert, Hogue recovers to find the only well for miles. Soon Hogue's turned the place into a thriving oasis and eventually his treacherous partners return so Hogue can have the revenge he hankers. An unusual but winning offering from the notoriously violent Peckinpah.
