IMDb > The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972)
Continuity: When Judge Roy Bean goes out to the front of the courthouse to apologize to the women for calling them "whores", he takes his hat off and holds it against his chest.
This one is a very moving piece, and is a tribute to the director himself who, like the judge, felt often as if he had outlived his time.

  Langtry, Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1884 a post office opened, and in 1892 the town was reported to have a general store, two saloons (one of them Bean's "The Jersey Lily", named after the Jersey actress Lillie Langtry who was unrelated to George Langtry), and the railroad depot, although most of the population of 150 lived in tents.
After Bean's death in 1903 the town began to decline; in the 1920s Southern Pacific moved its facilities away from the town, and the town population had dwindled to 50, and then to 40 by the 1970s.

Huston: Surrealist in THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JUDGE ROY BEAN.

Roy Bean's life for a span of 30-odd years is recorded with all the excitement of the era.
In fact, JUDGE ROY BEAN is more or less a series of disconnected incidents, from Bean's massacre of a bar full of desperados who rolled him for his (stolen) cash and left him for dead to his circa 1920 explosive showdown with an unscrupulous eastern lawyer played by Roddy McDowell.

Roy Bean's justice was not complicated by legalities; it was characterized by greed, prejudice, a little common sense and lots of colorful language.
In legend, Judge Roy Bean is a merciless dispenser of justice, often called "The Hangin' Judge." But that title goes to Isaac Parker of Fort Smith, Arkansas, who sentenced 172 men to hang and actually strung up 88 of them.
Roy never met Miss Lillie, but he often wrote her, and she is purported to have written back, even sending him 2 pistols, which he cherished till his dying day.

However, this is the last time you'll get to see Paul Newman with that devilish Eddie Felson/Ben Quick light in his eyes, he was made for the part as a self-appointed and self-styled Judge/philosopher that dispenses justice to just about everyone that wanders through his town whether they deserve it or not.
When we first see Roy Bean he is a petty outlaw, less than a man. He has total contempt for law and justice, which he doesn't distinguish between.

 The Life And Times of Judge Roy Bean
I wrote a while back about Walter Brennan's definitive portrayal of Judge Roy Bean in Wyler's "The Westerner." Bean is perhaps the most fascinating of all the faces that pop up over and over again in a century worth of westerns.
From his steadfast dedication to upholding justice to his psychotic, sincere passion for Lily Langtry, Judge Roy Bean is as cinematic a character as Norma Desmond or Don Corleone.
Bean twice defeats dozens of gun-wielding opponents, Rambo style, and when he fires a shotgun through the back of Bad Bob (played brilliantly by Stacy Keach) he opens up a hole the size of Texas.

As a young man, Roy Bean was involved in freighting along the old Santa Fe trail (from Independce, MO, to Fort Atkinson, to Bent's Fort, CO, to Santa Fe, New Mexico).
Bean was hanged after one of his several duels, but was saved by the rope stretching to the point that he could touch his feet to the ground.
As a result, for the rest of his life he had a neck scar and could not move his head without turning his body.

The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean: 1972, dir.
Judge Roy Bean is a sweet movie, a nostalgic and wistful movie, at times a sentimental movie, and at one point it became cloyingly sentimental and I nearly ripped the DVD out of the player.
For one thing, later in life he seems to have picked up a nasty misogynistic streak, or at least a tendency to make all the women in his films either saints or whores, which is quite evident in this film.

 Judge Roy Bean (DesertUSA)
"Hanging Judge Roy Bean," who held court sessions in his saloon along the Rio Grande River in a desolate stretch of the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas, remains one of the more fascinating.
Calling himself the "Law West of the Pecos," he is reputed to have kept a pet bear in his courtroom and sentenced dozens to the gallows, saying "Hang 'em first, try 'em later." Like most such legends, separating fact from fiction is not always so easy.
Bean served them quickly, then lingered before giving them their change.

Opinions on The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean tend to vary wildly, perhaps because the film itself is a huge, uneven (and often unwieldy) hodgepodge.
Yet any film directed by John Huston and written by John Milius that aims so high is bound to have a certain fascination, and the things that Huston and Milius attempt (and sometimes succeed at) in Judge Roy Bean will please some people to the point that they will overlook its many faults.
All in all, Judge Roy Bean is a muddle, but one that is hard to forget.
