Billy the Kid (1930)

Excruciatingly slow early talkie with good location shooting in New Mexico. Johnny Mack Brown plays Billy as a goofy Robin Hood of the west, vowing vengeance on the gang who shot his friend Tunston. The townspeople seem divided, some want him dead and others see him as a hero. Pat Garrett, the local sheriff, is also divided in his loyalties. An occasionally good vignette, but the story is confused and it was difficult to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys.
