Synopsis: This is a violent
near remake (uncredited) of The Comancheros, a reasonable hit for 20th Century
Fox in 1961. Sadly, John Wayne is missing here, though Richard Boone is a
sturdy, if stolid, substitute. Stuart Whitman makes a return from the earlier
movie and Edmond O'Brien puts in a reliable performance. It is competently handled by veteran director Gordon Douglas, who evokes The Charge at Feather River in the climactic attack, but the whole just isn't involving enough. Still, any such gritty western in CinemaScope is welcome, and this is interesting for the feature film debut of American football star Jim Brown, who would later walk away with 100 Rifles, a film with a very similar story. Cast: Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman Runtime: 107 min *Note: USA and Canadian customers should check their dvd players for PAL format compatibility. |
