Lonely Are the Brave
Kirk Douglas makes a lasting impression as Jack Burns — one of a dying breed, the American cowboy — in this modern-day Western that finds Burns purposely landing in jail to spring a friend (Michael Kane) … but discovering that he doesn’t want to be sprung. Burns then busts out alone, with the town sheriff (Walter Matthau) pursuing the escapee in a chase that pits man and horse against man and technology. Carroll O’Connor also stars.
