Movie Reviews of Forty Guns
Movie Review: psycho sexual rumblings in a b&w cinemascope western=vintageFuller
Summary: 4 Stars
This is deffinitely a different Western. The plot is convulted to say the least and the film is wraught with double entendra's and people getting shot at the end of nearly every scene. Not to mention it was an early cinemascope picture, which Fuller makes great use of in his compositions. Fuller was always so underated. If you love classic 50's westerns and you're open minded it's worth your time.Movie Review: Refreshing, Different From Other Westerns
Summary: 4 Stars
It is unsual to have a lady as the lead actress of a western movie, but I was not disappointed. The plot was simple, but the movie still moves quickly. Barbara Stanwyck played well in this movie.
Another Barbara Stanwyck Western is "The Furies". Similar style, made to suit Stanwyck. She played both sharp ladies.
Good to have a change.
Movie Review: great classic
Summary: 4 Stars
with a woman in charge!
nice twist to the classic western.... very professionally done, without too much typical Hollywood influence oozing out.
Movie Review: Sudsy western...
Summary: 2 Stars
Nothing more than a soap opera set firmly in the western genre, 'Forty Guns' is only worth a watch to diehard Fuller fans. The dialogue is flush with noir-era double entendre, true, but even that wears thin. The pacing and the acting are strictly second-fare, and while there are some interesting cinematographic moments, e.g., the tornado, the funeral, Fuller fails to seal the deal with character development, plot or tension. P.S.-- I'm not a huge Stanwyck fan, but I imagine the ending will prove embarrassing to those who are.
