Madron

If you liked Two Mules for Sister Sara, check out Madron. Unfortunately for Richard Boone and Leslie Caron, their version of "the cowboy and the nun" was also released in 1970 - and no one remembers it. The main difference between the two is that Madron is a drama. Perhaps audiences in 1970 only wanted a cutesy story.

I'm sure Richard loved making this movie. He always had to play villains, but in this one, not only did he get to play the lead, he was also the title character! It's practically a two-person story, and even though he's less admirable than his costar, he's hardly a bad guy. Leslie just plays a nun, so anyone's going to look immoral compared to her. He's a tough gunslinger who comes across the remains of a wagon train after an Indian attack. Leslie is the sole survivor, and she tags along with him for safety. They hate each other at first, since they both represent the opposite of what each admires - but as the story progresses, they learn to like each other. I'd definitely recommend this one if you want to see the softer side of Richard. Next up, check out his turn playing a psychiatrist in Lizzie!
