Movie Reviews of Pursued
Movie Review: A Western parable.
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this film when it first came out, nearly fifty years ago, playing as usual in the neighborhood movie,in a double feature. The memory still lingers, so I got the DVD. The untypical script must be taken as a symbolic parable, for otherwise it would be somewhat unbelievable. What the parable was supposed to mean, if anything other than the obvious final suggestion, was probably lost in the cutting room floor. One's interest, however, is kept throughout. The actors all perform as expected, even if they maybe a replay of their other customary roles. Only Dean Jagger fails to come up with a credible performance, any one could do what little he does here.
The photography is absolutely gorgeous black and white, and it has sent me on a search for other James Wong Howe pictures.
In spite of minor reservations, it is worth seeing this high class film.
Movie Review: Dark Westerns
Summary: 4 Stars
Here is Robert Mitchum right before he made his break thorugh film 'Out of the past' Co starring Kirk Douaglas. Mitchum is known to be an underated American actor who was mostly typecast in Film Noirs, normally as the fall guy who couldnt give a damn. His presence and charisma presents a certain dark electrcity, yet during his film career he was able to prove he was more then just an actor in Noir.
Pursued is a dark western filmed by Raoul Walsh who had also directed High Sierra with Bogart. Not much of a typical western, where this one has a darker side to it. Judith Anderson is also another underated actress who again boldley stands out with so much potential.
