Nick F Jan 19 Showdown, a 1973 Western, was the last film to be produced and directed by Academy Award winner George Seaton, and stars two famous Hollywood actors, Rock Hudson and Dean Martin. Filmed in some beautiful New Mexico locations, Hudson is a lawman sent to arrest Martin, who was once his friend but is now an outlaw. A further complication is that Hudson is married to Susan Clark, a former love interest of Martin. Despite the two men being on opposite sides, this is still a buddy-buddy movie with amiable pace, a few comedy elements, and the two big stars on top form, though there is little in the storyline to stretch their undeniable talents. This film is a comfortable watch on a rainy afternoon, with two major stars past their prime but still delivering effortless performances, both in the comedic scenes and eventually, the inevitable gunplay. REVIEWED by Nick Fletcher See more 10/15/2016 Average western featuring a past their prime cast and crew. Produced and directed by George Seaton, Rock Hudson and Dean Martin are former fiends now on the opposite side of the law and both love the same woman, Susan Clark, who's now married to Hudson. Pretty familiar stuff that's told well enough, but is nothing special. A solid score is provided by David Shire. See more 11/15/2013 I like just about anything with Dean Martin in it. The story of two brothers. One grows up a lawman and the other an outlaw. See more 06/19/2011 Rock & Dean work well together in this amiable western with nice work from Susan Clark and a good supporting cast. Loses it way a little towards the end but still an enjoyable film with the two leads providing the necessary star power. See more Read all reviews
