- Synopsis
- Henry Moon is captured for a capital offense by a posse when his horse quits while trying to escape to Mexico. He finds that there is a post-Civil War law in the small town that any single or widowed woman can save him from the gallows by marrying him. Julia Tate needs a man to help her work her mine and marries him. The sheriff makes it very clear to Moon what the consequences of his leaving Julia will be. The two begin to try to form a relationship based on necessity in which they have nothing in common.

1978: Golden Globes: Nominated for Best Motion Picture Acting Debut - Female (Mary Steenburgen)
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It turns Western conventions on their heads not out of satirical anger but simply to charm the pants off the audience."
-
"Jack Nicholson set out to make himself a 'Treasure of Sierra Madre', but since he is both the director and star of what he came up with no one apparently told him that Goin' South isn't it"
-
"Neither Nicholson nor the talented Miss Steenburgen, in her film debut, could rise above the patched-together script."
