Movie Loft presents “Ride in the Whirlwind”

Join Movie Loft in September for the 9th meet-up of the Harry Dean Stanton Appreciation Society, a screening series featuring some lesser-encountered movies that included the one and only HDS!

Ride in the Whirlwind was one of two 1966 Westerns (The Shooting being the other) shot in Utah by director Monte Hellman (Cockfighter, Two-Lane Blacktop, etc.) for Roger Corman, back-to-back. The two pictures shared many cast members, including Jack Nicholson (who also wrote and co-produced) and Millie Perkins, but only the one featured our beloved Harry Dean (here billed as Dean Stanton), playing the gang leader Blind Dick. It’s a broody tale of mistaken identity, posse vigilantism and cowboy existentialism. Saddle up and “Ride with the Easy Rider into an action whirlwind”!
