THE LAST HUNT
(M.G.M.-CinemaScope) A Cert. FIND it almost impossible to say a good word about this production. It’s the story of a killer (Robert Taylor) whose chief pleasure in life is the slaughter of buffaloes, and such unfortunate Indians as happen to come within range of his Winchester; and from the amount of footage devoted to the examination of his blood-lust and its consequences I can’t imagine this film-or the 7000-odd feet of it that I managed to sit out-delighting any but those similarly infected. One thing I noted: Killer Charlie, in a fumbling attempt to define his own peculiar moment of truth, found more in common between sex and slaughter than Hollywood has hitherto cared to admit.
