ISSUE #16: Unforgiven

The town of Big Whisky is full of everyday people, trying to lead ordinary lives – where ranchers roam the prairie, barmaids and entertainers serve up strong drinks and the law keeps everyone in line. But the town’s calm is shattered when two renegade cowboys brutally attack one of the brothel’s women and the law does little to even the score. Taking matters into their own hands, the town’s prostitutes put a bounty on the cowboys which attracts a young gun who calls himself “The Schofield Kid” and an aging mercenary and gun slinger William Munny. Starring Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris and Gene Hackman it’s a movie for the ages. When spring showers rain down, this is my favorite classic go-to.
