Movie Reviews of Alvarez Kelly
Movie Review: My Dad Probably Loved this Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
He loved all the westerns! But this one has Holden & Widmark! Not only are their scenes together a blast but Holden's scenes with Richard Rust as Sgt. Thatcher made me smile - especially when Rust was Holden's "watchdog!" Not a bad storyline, probably because it really happened, a true story, and there are no dull moments. This is one of those films that you'll just have to take out of the box again some rainy Saturday when you want to remember how fun the 60s were, and our favorite actors of the 40s-50s were making their last cool movies.Movie Review: Okay Western
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the sort of title that, if you see it, you'll have been entertained for about 2 hours. If you don't see it, you've missed nothing.
Widmark is always good, and the usually taciturn Holden (an actor of limited range) shines in his part. I guess I'm agreeing with many other reviewers in that it's the two leads' characters that make it worth watching.
Movie Review: Western Misfire
Summary: 2 Stars
"Alvarez Kelly" (1966) wastes an impressive amount of talent. William Holden and Richard Widmark - both decidedly miscast - fail to enliven this overlong, hackneyed Civil War adventure. The only memorable sequence in Edward Dmytryk's lackluster Western is a lavish cattle stampede. Johnny Mercer co-wrote the forgettable title song - poorly rendered by The Brothers Four. A few years later, Holden made a triumphant return to the genre in director Sam Peckinpah's "The Wild Bunch."
