A very disappointing film starring one of the better western actors. It is such a comedown for Richard Boone of the "Have Gun Will Travel" fame. Boone probably did this project because he needs the money or just becuase he needs to do something. The film is a pathethic and boring excuse for a western which is neither spaghetti or whatever. It is sad to see a legend like Boone to take on something trashy as this project. The blurry, fuzzy, and hazy picture quality is just as bad as the story. I don't recommend this to anyone including fans of Richard Boone.
A wonderful outdoor epic stuffed into a 1.33:1 format? What idiot from Columbia came up with that suggestion? This is a movie that NEEDS widescreen! It didn't do well at the box office because it was sold to the public as a zany comedy, which it is not. An accurate picture of the latter days of the fur trade with more than its share of delightful one-liners and action. Brian Keith shows how scene stealing should be done. This is a guys movie. Would have been 4 stars in widescreen, Columbia!

Mutiny on the Argentine plains. Fort commander Robert Taylor tries to stop the hemorrhaging of his squad to a deserter gone bad and mad! How to keep the boys at home in the fort? Bring in the women. I'm sure some women's groups would have a field day with this picture. It's a unique story where love and lust turn into survival in a harsh environment. Director Hugo Fregonese has delivered a Spanish film that is interesting and moves at quite a good pace.
The print used is fairly decent for this budget release. A film that was definitely widescreen shot in 70mm, it suffers in places in this pan-and-scan version. Still worth a look. Brentwood/BCI put in 6 chapter stops, a trivia game and a Casper...

In The Enemy Below Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens are respectively captains of a U.S. destroyer and a German U-boat whose vessels come into conflict in the South Atlantic. Both are good men with a job to do, the script noting Jurgens' distaste for Hitler and the Nazis and engaging our sympathy with the German sailors almost as much as the Americans. Made at the height of the cold war of the 1950s, the film delivers a liberal message of co-operation wrapped inside some spectacular action scenes and a story which builds to a tense and exciting, moving finale. --Gary S.

Legendary silent film director Cecil B. DeMille didn't much alter the way he made movies after sound came in, and this 1956 biblical drama is proof of that. While graced with such 1950s niceties as VistaVision and Technicolor, The Ten Commandments (DeMille had already filmed an earlier version in 1923) has an anachronistic, impassioned style that finds lead actors Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner expressively posing while hundreds of extras writhe either in the presence of God's power or from orgiastic heat. DeMille, as always, plays both sides of the fence as far as sin goes, surrounding Heston's Moses with worshipful music and heavenly special effects while also making the sexy action around the cult of the Golden Calf look like fun. You have to see The Ten Commandments to... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Charlton Heston - Yul Brynner Director(s): Cecil B.
