Summary
FILM: THE TRAIN ROBBERS, 12.45pm, Ch4 JOHN WAYNE (pictured below) churned out virtually identikit westerns towards the end of his career, and this is one such -- Rod Taylor and Ben Johnson adding variety to a story about Mexican gold, a train robbery (unsurprisingly) and a double-dealing dame using Wayne as her plaything. In the era of Leone and Peckinpah, virtually nobody made westerns like this one -- a fact veteran writer-director Burt Kennedy realises instinctively, making Wayne and his Mount Rushmore iconic status the whole point of the exercise.
