Apache (1954)

91 mins     Western      

Ignoring the fact that Burt Lancaster's blue eyes are just one reason he wasn't really right for playing a Native American and Robert Aldrich's "Apache" is in fact not bad. It is by no means original or complex as we follow A...

Vera Cruz (1954)

94 mins     Western      

With a cast lead by Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster there is plenty which is great about 50s western "Vera Cruz" and by no means is it a run of the mill western. The basic storyline for a start which sees a hero and anti-hero ...

100 mins     Western

Run of the Arrow (1957)

86 mins     Western      

Quite often "Run of the Arrow" is compared to Kevin Costner's award winning "Dances With Wolves" and it is easy to see why with its story of an American who ends up living with the Sioux and talking a Sioux wife. But the trut...

Never So Few (1959)

125 mins     Drama, War

The Magnificent Seven (1960)

125 mins     Adventure , Drama, Western      

"The Magnificent Seven" is a lesson in how you can take what is a rather simple storyline, ply it with recognizable faces as well as a fair smattering of action and make it all come together to be both an entertaining and mem...

Kid Galahad (1962)

95 mins     Comedy, Drama, Sport      

In many ways "Kid Galahad" was the perfect movie for Elvis Presley, although that doesn't mean it's his best, but the whole set up is just perfect. There is a storyline surrounding Elvis's character, Walter Gulick, which is s...

You Can't Win 'Em All (1970)

97 mins     Adventure , Comedy      

As a movie reviewer I some times finding myself repeating what I have said before but then on occasion it just can't be helped. "You Can't Win 'Em All" is one such movie, a monotonous, repetitive bore of a movie which when I ...

Breakheart Pass (1975)

95 mins     Mystery, Western      

When is a western not a western, when it is "Murder on the Orient Express" in disguise or at least that is how "Breakheart Pass" comes across. It is an interesting idea to have a western mystery movie and to be frank a welcom...
