WESTWORLD 1973 (MGM)

It has been a long time since I talked about this gem.

James Brolin and Richard Benjamin star as two men who are vacationing in a resort called Westworld, which represents a perfect replica of the old west circa the late 1800's.

There are also two other amusement parks there as well. One is Roman World and the other is Medieval World. The men have a great time and Benjamin is taunted by a stranger who looks like Yul Brynner in his MAGNIFICENT SEVEN outfit. The outlaw is shot and killed and both men continue to have a blast.

The robots are perfect replicas of humans but as is slowly pointed out in the film, there has been trouble and it is growing. Before you know it all of the robots have gone berserk and have started killing all the tourists. Brolin is shot and killed by the very same outlaw Benjamin has killed twice before, and Benjamin finds himself fleeing for his life with the robot gunslinger in hot pursuit.

This is a fabulous film that has a huge following and is still one of a kind as far as I am concerned. Brynner is right on the spot with his performance as a robot gunslinger who suddenly tuns real killer. If you haven't seen this film I really recommend you by a ticket to Delos and see what happens.
