Movie Reviews of Lawman
Movie Review: Lawman Remake
Summary: 2 Stars
The original release of this film starring Burt Lancaster as the relentless alpha male and Sheree North as his attractive erstwhile lover contained an explicit bedroom scene which revealed more of the latter's earthy charms than seen in the recent remake. While the latter shows better on the screen--the original film is rough and worn through aging--the deleting of such racy images detracts from the film maker's artistic intent. Perhaps the new edition's editors expect to gain a broader audience by not offending puritancal tastes, but for me it's a disappointment. Specially since it's the only film I've ever seen of Sheree North topless (fortunately the original shows occasionally on cable t.v.). While such gratuitous editing occurs frequently on network television, one wouldn't expect it to happen on a DVD. This viewer certainly wouldn't have bought it had he known it had been cut.Movie Review: Great Film - Sound Not So Good
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very disapointed with this film "LAWMAN" and not because of the film itself, but because of the sound quality of this DVD. The sound was very flat, high pitched and with no depth to the sound at all and that's sad because this is a great film in itself. This is a great Western with an excellent cast, especially the great character actor William C. Watson as Choctaw Lee, the gunfighter. Richard Jordon as Crow was also great. You just don't see great films like this anymore, basically because you don't have actors like this anymore, Burt Lancaster, Lee J. Cobb, Albert Salmi, etc. If someone else purchased this DVD and the sound is great, please let me know as maybe I received a defected DVD. I hope the DVD was defected as I would love to enjoy this film once more.Movie Review: Unbelievable
Summary: 2 Stars
The movie was unbelievable for two reasons:
There actually were few gunfights in the Old West.
Nobody but Burt could shoot straight.
Should have called it Low Noon.
Movie Review: What the heck?!?
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie seems to be caught between 2 generations. The old style western where the good guy does what is right and the 1960/70s westerns with the strange music.
