Movie Reviews of Alvarez Kelly
Movie Review: one of the few quality Civil War movies
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally on dvd...This is certainly not a "western" as virtually the entire movie takes place in Virginia...William Holden plays Texas cattleman Alverez Kelly, bringing his large herd of cattle to Virginia to feed the Union army...Richard Widmark is Confederate Colonel Tom Rossiter, who is given the mission of stealing the cattle...Kelly is captured by the Confederates and is "persuaded" to train Rossiter's cavalry in the art of cattle-rustling...Holden plays the cynical Kelly very well and Widmark is very good as the gritty Confederate cavalryman...I felt this movie could have been better; however the interaction between the two characters is excellent...I also rated this as a 5 star because Civil War movies are a rarity.
Summary of Alvarez Kelly
A western about a renegade adventurer herding his cattle who gets caught in the middle of the civil war. Special features: talent files theatrical trailers subtitles: english spanish portugese chinese korean thai full screen and widescreen versions and mono sound. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/22/2008 Starring: William Holden Richard Widmark Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Edward DmytrykAlvarez Kelly (1966) isn't really a classic, but it's a pleasant enough Western, directed by Edward Dmytryk. The rather convoluted plot (adventurer plays one side off against the other on a cattle drive from Mexico during the Civil War) relies heavily on the charm of the two stars, William Holden and Richard Widmark, but the two prove as reliable as ever. There are some so-so action scenes, but it's the battle of wits between the two principals that supplies all the fireworks. By contrast Janice Rule is just adequate as the love interest. --Ed Buscombe
