Movie Scene: Ride the High Country – Two Friends Say Goodbye

A lot of history between these two characters ends with this scene.  Steve Judd is dying from a gunshot wound.  Gil Westrum spends a few moments with him and reconciles their damaged relationship.

Joel McCrae and Randolph Scott are perfect as a couple of old partners who have seen and been through it all.  It’s a great scene between two real good subtle actors who have the age and character to pull it off.  Cincinnati Babyhead couldn’t have cast it better.  Lucian Ballard’s cinematography is beautiful.  Sam Peckinpah knows this stuff.

Watch this scene from a good duster
