In 1909, California, Willie Boy-a proud Paiute man-kills his bride's father in self-defense during an ancient custom of "marriage by capture." The personal tragedy ignites a relentless manhunt led by Sheriff Christopher Cooper. As the hunt escalates, President Taft's visit turns the pursuit into a newspaper spectacle, distorting truth and forging legend.

Redford is utterly unconvincing.

What's so great about Willie Boy? Nothing.

The cynicism of Willie Boy is inorganic and self-consciously anti-romantic. The principals do not arise ingenuously from their environment, but seem set consciously upon it, like the clowns in Waiting For Godot.

Richard Whitehall

Abraham Polonsky's Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here... brings its director back to the very center of American movies.

The picture is reaching out a long way to hold on to its laconic dignity. There's the sloppy, needless rhetoric of a bar-room boaster's chat about democracy... there's the casting of a very white actress, bootpolish- browned, as the Indian girl.
