Rating: 5/5 -- Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here is another one of the best American movies, and in its own way, equally idiomatic, evocative, and resourceful [as Force of Evil]. Full Review

Rating: B -- This socially conscious Western represents a major comeback for blacklisted writer-director Polonsky, who identifies with the film's message and gets strong performances from Redford as the sheriff and Robert Blake as the hunted man.

Rating: 3/5 -- A sense of clarity and austerity about the visuals lends potent emotional heft. Full Review

Rating: B -- It's basically a Western chase film that openly serves liberal messages over the Indian-white conflict. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- A powerful drama masquerading as a western that promises slightly more than it is able to deliver. Full Review
TV Guide

A powerful film, even though the script wears its liberal conscience on its sleeve (and further hedges its bets by casting nice Robert Redford as the sheriff), directed with austere authority in desert landcapes marvellously shot by Conrad Hall. Full Review

It deserved to be a hit, but the melancholy tone and downbeat ending prevented that. Full Review

Product Description:

Willie Boy, a Piute Indian (Robert Blake) who kills a man in self-defense, becomes a fugitive from the law. With a massive manhunt gathering on his trail (led by Robert Redford as the sherriff), he in turn is forced into becoming the stereotypical image of the Native American "savage" that led his accusers to naturally assume he was guilty of the crime. This stylish, modern, and critically acclaimed Western with a social conscience marked writer/director Abraham Polonsky's return to film after having been blacklisted in the 1950s during the McCarthy witch hunts. Cinematography is by Academy Award winner Conrad Hall (AMERICAN BEAUTY (2000)).
