Description
Cast: Robert Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Susan Hayward
Ray’s moody and moving study of rodeo life features Mitchum in one of his greatest performances as Jeff, a washed-up champion who takes on young Wes (Kennedy) as a protégé. While success goes to Wes’s head, Jeff finds himself drawn to Wes’s wife Louise (Hayward). A psychologically rich study of beautiful losers, The Lusty Men is an astonishingly modern film.
