Movie Reviews of Band of Angels
Movie Review: RUNAWAYS
Summary: 5 Stars
BAND OF ANGELS is the last film of the Clark Gable trilogy shot by Raoul Walsh between 1955 and 1957 which also includes The Tall Men (Region One USA DVD) and King & Four Queens. The movie is based on Robert Penn Warren's Band of Angels (Voices of the South), a novel written in 1955. The sole extras of the DVD are a dubbed version in French language and a theatrical trailer. The quality of the images is near perfect and the sound pays tribute to a wonderful musical score composed by Max Steiner.
BAND OF ANGELS, - I personally consider its racial implications as peripheral -, is a study of human reactions in front of a crisis. The main characters of the film will then all react in the same manner : by taking flight. Amantha Starr's attempts to run away constitute a sizeable part of the film, Hamish Bond, who doesn't manage to forget his heavy past, will not wait for the Confederate army to be hanged like his neighbors and Rau-Ru experiences the behavior pattern of a man who runs away from his conscience.
Some will say that BAND OF ANGELS is slow and that the characters talk too much instead of acting. Maybe, maybe not. The best scenes of the films are not particularly bustling. Just think about the discussion in the garden between Hamish Bond and his old navy pal that starts in the peace of a southern night and ends up in a violent storm or about the scene of the duel between Hamish Bond and his neighbor Charles de Marigny. This scene is a pure jewel of suspense and reminds us that Raoul Walsh was a great director.
