Movie Reviews of Dodge City
Movie Review: The Rich Man's Roy Rogers
Summary: 3 Stars
The blazing success of Errol Flynn's first Western shows why the Australian actor became "the rich man's Roy Rogers." Released in 1939, "Dodge City" is a sagebrush spectacular in Glorious Technicolor - featuring a memorable cast, Max Steiner's signature score and the definitive barroom brawl. Director Michael Curtiz keeps the action moving with his customary flair. "Dodge City" does not rank among the all-time great Westerns, but it's a fine example of Warner Bros. craftsmanship.Movie Review: Wrong genre for Flynn
Summary: 2 Stars
One or two good scenes, but this, frankly, isn't much of a movie. Most of the reviewers seem to know this, but they give it high stars because of Flynn and De Havilland. It's all a bit tedious and predictable. Flynn never had an Australian accent (well, maybe, right at the beginning of his career). In fact his accent was about as British as they come, and he wasn't a good mimic when it came to accents. My disc came in the six disc Signature Collection, and although Captain Blood played well, this Dodge City disc had something seriously wrong with both the colour and the sound. A dull script, plot full of silly holes, corny dialogue, heavy-handed comedy can't be saved by the stars and a good barroom brawl. According to the bio-documentary of Errol Flynn, which comes with the collection, the villain in this picture, Cabot, actually managed to ruin Flynn towards the end of his life by suing him, when Flynn had tried to give him a helping hand. My advice is to dodge Dodge City.
