Movie Reviews of Blood and Sand
Movie Review: Someone once said "Technicolor isn't true to life - It's BETTER than life'
Summary: 5 Stars
If you desire to know why in hell people were excited with Technicolor when it first got popular, we're talking the kind of color that jumps off the screen and seeps into your skin, here is presented in the grand style of Hollywood's golden age "BLOOD & SAND". This movie has the best color ever. I use it as a reference disk to show off what Technicolor was REALLY like.
Truly any one of the movies below could be studied for the art of Technicolor. Many of them are over 40-50 years old and sparkle like new.Due much in part to Warner Brothers restoration process.
Here is my Technicolor Reference list:
1) Blood & Sand
2) Singing In The Rain
3) The Garden of Allah (with Marlene Dietrich)
4) Auntie Mame (with Rosland Russell
5) Robin Hood (with Errol Flynn)
6) Gone With The Wind (Warner Brothers special edition) The scene where she waiting in that red dress at the front door after Clark Gable forces her to go to Melanie's party.
The numerical order has no meaning other than to list.
Summary of Blood and Sand
TYRONE POWER, LINDA DARNELL, and RITA HAYWORTH star in Rouben Mamoulian's stunning remake of the 1922 silent classic. A "potent drama of love and danger, pride and death," this "magnificent presentation" (Variety) tells the story of a handsome matador torn between his loving wife and a beautiful, unscrupulous aristocrat. Juan (POWER), the naïve son of a once-famous bullfighter, tries to recapture the glory of his family's name. Though he is branded fifth rate, he soon becomes Spain's greatest matador and returns home top marry his childhood sweetheart (DARNELL). But when a beautiful, passionate aristocrat (HAYWORTH) seduces him, Juan succumbs to her temptations, only to see his own happiness and success crumble.Similar DVD Movies
