Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

verbusen I wanted to give this a shot because when I read that it was two episodes of The Virginian combined to make a "movie" I thought the first part would have Marvin and the other part would have Bronson. I had seen this done before with "Man from U.N.C.L.E" movies, two Gemini Man episodes together in "Riding with Death", and a few drive in flicks like "The Doomsday Machine, and "They Saved Hitler's Brain". The results are usually not very good but I figured with two legends like Bronson and Marvin it would still be something decent. Little did I know that instead of some footage to tie the two episodes together that instead they would cut scene by scene the two together, and also it seems, with stock footage from a dozen other films. I had to stop watching pretty early in when I saw random Union Calvary soldier footage in with lots of wagon trail footage. The telescope trick was a riot (and lame). If you like really insulting to your intelligence entertainment (to laugh at) then you may be interested in this, otherwise see it for the curiosity and don't stay too long or you may get angry at the creators for making something so horrible. I think this was made for overseas audiences where English is not the first language. 1 of 10.

David_Brown The single thing that really makes this film bad is the editing ( which might be the worst I have ever seen). You can actually spot where this film is spliced together from two episodes of "The Virginian" You can even tell how James Drury aged from the Lee Marvin scenes to the Charles Bronson scenes. Not to mention (spoilers ahead) the stupid abrupt ending , where you have no idea if Harge Talbot (Bronson) kills his brother Kalig (Marvin) or not. Of course, Marvin's character was originally named Martin Kalig, not Kalig Talbot ( see what a little IMD research can do?). There is only one reason to watch this film, and that is Bronson, who must have given an excellent performance in the original episode, because he actually looks good here ( or is it, because everyone else ( especially Marvin) looks so bad?). Perhaps the best way to see Bronson (if you are a Bronson Completist which is the only reason to see it), is look for the original episode or if you must watch this film, reverse what the editors did..... Zap through every scene not featuring Bronson or his wife. 1 star

mulroon02 This film has many troubles including a bad timeline. The first season portions guest starring Lee Marvin are set in 1898. At one point he sings the Lizzie Bordon song, referring to a woman who murdered her parents in 1892. Yet in the sixth season segments featuring his brother, Charles Bronson, he writes the year 1887 in the family bible as the year of his just born son. Elizabeth Grainger (Sara Lane) is kidnapped and referred to as Judge Garth's (Lee J. Cobb's) daughter, when in reality she was John Grainger's granddaughter and Clay Grainger's niece, and no relation to, nor never met the judge. MCA obviously was trying to capitalize on the popularity of the film The Dirty Dozen, starring Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson.

lost-in-limbo What was this?! A complete botch. Kalig uses his half-brother Harge Talbot Jr (who he secretly hates for the death of his mother when he was born) in a plan to seek revenge against the judge who sent him to prison. Honestly I couldn't be bothered revealing much more because I came away feeling really gypped after expecting to get some Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin interaction. However their scenes are obviously edited together from totally different productions, which are supposedly two episodes of the western TV show "The Virginian". It's actually quite embarrassing and erratically staged. The way certain scenes are worked in are terrible, confusing and extremely unconvincing that found my snickering at the stock footage. Especially when Bronson and Marvin share the screen. Just look at those studio shots! ugh! From be it to the slipshod editing, what also brings it down was the non-existent direction, tacky music score and unusual photography. There so many odd filming techniques that try to cover it. It's just so hard to cut up this one because it's just lazy work. L.J Cobb also shows up on the same reel as the grizzled Marvin. Even with these names, everyone is pretty much on the sideline slumming it, with Marvin constantly staring and sneaking about. Gee, he might have just been as a viewer. The conventionally patchwork story is predictable from the get-go, with little purpose and a drone-like narrative that loosely draws up the two episodes together for one wretch story. Which manages to also drag. Sam Fuller's name is attached to it, but it's a fizzled effort. Even on their own, they wouldn't have made for anything of interest. The action sequences are useless and muddled. Pointless, just pointless.
