CITY SLICKERS 1991

Film4, 6.45pm

A cattle-driving holiday is meant to be a bonding exercise for stressed out trio Billy Crystal, Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern in Ron Underwood’s amiable comedy-western. Jack Palance deliberately chews the scenery as Curly – a send-up of his hardbitten cowboy roles, such as his Oscar-nominated performance in Shane. It’s an entertaining blend of gags and sincerity, with solid performances from the main three.
