RUN HOME SLOW (1966). Extremely bizarre Western about a Family patriarch being killed, his oddball family avenging the murder, finding a big stash and trying to hightail it to freedom with all sorts of obstacles, most of which are caused by themselves.
Mercedes McCambridge (in what almost looks like a reprise of JOHNNY GUITAR) is the EXTREMELY butch leader -reminds Me a lot of "Snoop" from THE WIRE- who is determined to keep "Family" intact, although one wonders why with this family. Only other performer I recognized was lovely Linda Gaye Scott (lots of TV and as one of the Saloon Doxies in WESTWORLD) whose Dingbattedness could almost be a start for Blonde jokes. Also of note is the score, some early work of Frank Zappa, a year or so before The Mothers of Invention. **1/2
