Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

bkoganbing An interesting group of passengers on the Stagecoach To Fury get waylaid at a stagecoach station and taken as hostage. The bandits led by Rodolfo Hoyos are expecting a shipment of gold on the stage, but it isn't there. To save the others lives especially after Hoyos shoots and wounds driver Paul Fix, guard Forrest Tucker gives up the fact they're to meet the shipment at the station. So the bandits sit there and wait. And also kill a few useless passengers who try to make their own plans separate from Tucker and Fix.Compared to most on the Stagecoach that was the title of the John Ford classic film these are a pretty scurvy lot as some flashbacks show. The bandits are almost dishing out some cosmic justice to these people.This independent western released by 20th Century Fox even got some Academy recognition with a nomination for black and white cinematography. The cinematography of the final shootout in the desert and the holdup is well done.In the cast my favorite is Mari Blanchard who plays one coldhearted woman who thinks that men just grovel at a wink from her. Does she ever find out different. And she has a nasty secret kept from the rest of the hostages.A solid B western, you can't go wrong with this.

GUENOT PHILIPPE I discovered it only yesterday, and I was very pleased. I did not expect so much. An excellent grade B movie as I love. It would be a great pleasure to see those like it more often.OK, we have seen many times the scheme of bad guys vs good guys; see "Rawhide", Henry Hathaway's film...But the characterization of the individuals is, for me, very interesting. It is unusual in a B movie. And I don't especially appreciate flashbacks...It is a pleasant western, shot by Bill Claxton in the mid fifties, before some other B features such as Quiet Gun, Young and Dangerous and Stage to Thunder Rock...Don't hesitate to see it, if you can.

bux This seems to be a loose re-make of "Rawhide"1951). The original being the better of the two. Tucker, Blanchard, and Fix tend to their acting chores adequately, however, considering producer Lyon brought to the screen such low-budget classics as 'Silver Star" and "Silent Raiders" this routine effort is decidedly disappointing. Nominated for 'best B&W photography, this is one of the last movies to be considered in that category, the Academy dropping it shortly thereafter.
