| Robert Duvall in ROUTE 66: THE NEWBORN Year: 1961 Rating: **1/2 |

| Robert Duvall in ROUTE 66: THE NEWBORN |
Moving from urban decay to a sprawling modern Western setting is THE NEWBORN in which grimacing/racist rancher Albert Dekker has Duvall as a hatched-wielding ranch-hand/thug so uncompromisingly unpredictable, even the boss slaps him around when attempting to take care of business...
