Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Leftbanker Beautifully shot on location, somewhere in the vast American west. The scenes with hundreds, perhaps thousands of horses were quite impressive and owe nothing to CGI technology.On the other hand the music in older movies doesn't age well and the soundtrack in this film is pretty dreadfully intrusive and often rather annoying.As far as the story we get more of the myth of the noble rebel cause. The righteous southern plantation owner (Rock Hudson) is immediately besieged by carpetbaggers out for his slave holdings in some unnamed southern toilet. As in the myth of Gone with the Wind his slaves see him as some sort of father figure instead of someone they'd like to draw and quarter…like he probably did to many of their family.And, of course, the Mexicans are portrayed as thieving scoundrels after gold and the white biznitches. And of course the Native Americans are pretty much a bad parody of those proud people but this was a western, after all, and that's what they mostly did. Thank god they don't make many these days.Let's be honest, many old movies are pretty terrible and age horribly. I think it was only in the 1970s when films began to take on a simulacrum of reality.
adsqueiroz This moving western has Yankee colonel Henry Thomas joining forces with Confederate official named Langdon, during the post-Civil War and in Mexican territory . Wayne tries to sell wild horses to the French military in Mexico and Hudson leading a wagon train to Durango . Both colonels battling it out side by side across miles of adventure. They are fighting off arrogant Yankee carpetbaggers with their uppity blacks. Meanwhile their slaves are obedient, quietly waiting for the future as the master gives a family heirloom to an old slave. The two hours pass quickly, and it's a film to make you think (about the nature of war against your fellow countrymen, about loyalty, friendship and heroism).
SnoopyStyle After the Civil War, ex-Union Colonel John Henry Thomas (John Wayne) is leading his horses to be sold to the Mexican government. In the meanwhile, ex-Confederate Colonel James Langdon (Rock Hudson) is leading a rag-tag group of southerners who are going south to escape the Yankee mob. Both groups decide to join up as they fight off bandits and revolutionaries.This is a southerners wet dream. The southern forces are noble, honorable, and full of hospitality. They are fighting off arrogant Yankee carpetbaggers with their uppity blacks. Meanwhile their slaves are obedient, quietly waiting for the future as the master gives a family heirloom to an old slave.This is through and through an old fashion western where men are men. They have a good old fight after a good stiff drink. There is an impressive herd of horses. If you're willing to live with the hokey story, then this is definitely watchable.
SanteeFats John Wayne plays a Union Colonel who takes his remaining troopers, after the war ends, on a search for wild horses to sell to the U.S. Army. The Army buyers are scum and the horses are then on their way to the French forces in Mexico fighting for Maximilian. On the way they run into a southern wagon train lead by Rock Hudson. Wayne's cowboys rescue the wagon train when it comes under attack by Mexican outlaws. The Rebel wagon train is finally in Mexico where they are suppose to join the French forces. It turns out they are captured by the Mexican rebels. The rebels threaten to kill the rebel's including women and children unless Wayne gives them the horses. Mexican ethics are still showing up today. Wayne leaves it up to his men about the horses and they decide to give the horses up. The only thing I did not like about this movie was the fact that the Mexicans get away with it. Most John Wayne movies end with the good guys at least coming out ahead.
