Second viewing; first one was on February 07, 1989.
U.S.A., after the Civil War. The project of a railroad from Omaha to California is approved. A banker hires an unscrupulous businessman in the field of entertainment to distract workers from their duties. His purpose is to delay the construction of the railroad and thus profit from his financial speculations.
As a narrative, it is childish from start to finish. Within these constraints, it has some amount of narrative inventiveness and a good deal of mise-en-scène competence to deliver its goods.
