Filmed in glorious widescreen by Duke Callaghan and Richard Moore, the Western comedy „The Scalphunters” was written by William W What’s notable about „The Scalphunters” (1968), besides the cast, is that the entire story takes place in the Southwest wilderness Norton and directed by Sydney Pollack. While it purports to treat the character of Joseph with some respect, there may still be viewers who will wince at various indignities that he’s forced to experience. Nortons’ script is generally engaging, with some witty dialogue here and there. It is a delight to see the distinguished gentleman Davis embrace the more comedic aspects to his character, and there’s a lot of entertaining sparring between the two Joes (with Lancaster showing himself to not really be all THAT enlightened). Overall, this film is reasonably exciting at times, even if it’s not destined to be a classic. It’s the dedicated efforts of a superior cast that make „The Scalphunters” work as well as it does for a somewhat overextended 104 minutes. […]
