Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

misswestergaard I just watched this little known film on Netflix. It's gorgeous and fascinating, allowing both frustration and identification with each of three main characters. A modern Adam and Eve story with Ray Milland as a charismatic snake, Debra Paget as a frustrated and sympathetic Eve and Anthony Quinn as an alternately tender and vengeful Adam. The film straddles multiple genres--film noir to melodrama to western---reminding me particularly of Willian Wellman's The Purchase Price and Victor Sjostrom's The Wind in it's thematic exploration of tough urban girls who grow in moral dimension as they learn to appreciate men who have a practical intimacy with the earth.One wonders if the compelling New Mexico/Arizona scenery is on location. This is Technicolor at it's most subtle and beautiful. What a movie.

Maddyclassicfilms The River's Edge is a very good film and one that should be much better known.Rancher and guide Ben Cameron(Anthony Quinn)is living a fairly happy life with his new wife city girl Margeret(Debra Paget).That is until country life becomes annoying to her and her ex,an absolute bad boy comes back into her life.With his a nice smile,smart suit and fast car Nardo Denning(Ray Milland)would normally be the guy of most girls dreams but not here.Milland's usual charm is turned into something nasty when it's revealed he left Margeret in prison to take the rap for his actions.Now after stealing a million dollars in cash,Nardo wants her to go with him to Mexico.Torn between her two loves Margeret is thrown into a deep nightmare after Nardo kills a Border Patrol officer and forces Cameron to take them to the border by foot.It then turns into a thrilling fight for survival as Cameron and Margeret make up and try and escape the clutches of this madman.

telegonus Those who think of Ray Milland as a skilled light comedian or an amiable drunk will be surprised by his work in this late Allan Dwan entry. He's mean as can be in this one, and the best thing in the movie, making Anthony Quinn look weak by comparison; not an easy thing to do, but Ray pulls it off with style. Debra Paget is an asset as well in this trim, modest film.

Colorada-3 Quite entertaining, good characters, a nice movie to watch when you want to relax. Anthony Quinn is very sexy and Ray Milland a good villain. Don't miss it!
