The Great Silence

The Great Silence is a Western drama film released in 1968. A gunslinger who cannot speak takes up the defense of a band of outlaws and a widow bent on revenge, standing against a gang of ruthless bounty hunters. Vonetta Mcgee appears nude as Pauline Middleton, and her scenes are the ones most closely tied to the film. The story is bleak and violent, ending far from the usual heroics of the genre.
