Hombre came on TV today and I watched it again for the umpteenth time. I think I noticed something I’ve never caught before. Mrs. Favor was in on the robbery! There was a small flirtatious moment between her and Grimes in the coach. How could Grimes know about the money anyway? I bet she wasn’t a hostage originally, but making her get away with Grimes.
Or is this common knowledge and I’m just now getting it?
Going from memory here. I don’t feel that Mrs. Favor was in on the robbery. She was just a (to use an old fashioned term) loose woman, going after anything in pants. The Richard Boone charater had pants. She most definitely was not a hostage originally. She was an interesting side bit for Boone until he tired of her. She became not so much a hostage, as a trading chip, one which, I might add, the Paul Newman character did not really want, but was forced to bargin for.
