Where to Watch The Big Sky
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025First off, "The Big Sky" is not a western. It's a story of relationships, complete with a love triangle. These conflicts are wrapped around lots of adventure and action. I really enjoyed the characters Jim Deakins (Kirk Douglas) and Uncle Zeb (Arthur Hunnicutt), they really made the movie work.
