古德曼先生的这个剧本用西部片的形式,典型地表现了除西部片以外许多类型片中常见的“哥们儿义气”。它根据从未发表过的素材写就并拍成,曾荣膺1969年奥斯卡最佳构思奖和最佳编剧奖,同年还获得美国作家工会颁发的最佳原作电影剧本奖。这不是一部传统的西部片,而是一部活动舞台剧,宛如将一部表现两个好哥们儿的室内喜剧搬到了户外,其风格一反奇克(旧译桂格)和弗拉格或斯宾塞·屈赛和克拉克·盖博的传统;没有大肆渲染枪战和为女人而争风吃醋,或时不时地干些违法的事情;而是说上了一条贼船的两个好朋友虽然亲密无间,但实际上彼此并不非常了解。 Mr. Goodman’s play, in the form of a westroke, typically shows “buddies,” as is common in many genres except westerns. It has been written on the basis of unpublished material and has been made, has won the 1969 Oscars Best Idea Award and best screenplay award, the same year also won the best award-winning screenwriter award by the American Writers Union. This is not a traditional western movie, but an action theater, like an indoor comedy that shows two good buddies out of doors. Its style is the same as that of Chiché Or the tradition of Spencer Quest and Clarke Gable; that there was no wanton of gunfighting and jealousy for women, or of doing something illegal from time to time; but that the close friendships between two good friends of a thief , But in fact do not know each other very well.
