Movie Reviews of Rawhide [DVD]
Movie Review: The Shortest,Fastest,Back Breakinest Ride You Can Buy For 200 Gold...Meals Included - And A Beautiful Restoration T' Boot
Summary: 5 Stars
This review refers to "Rawhide" 1951 - DVD
They laughed and said it couldn't be done. A stagecoach that ran from St. Louis to San Francisco; 2700 miles in 25 days over some of the ruggedest country and through all kinds of weather imaginable. But when the Overland Trail stage coach delivered the goods - gold, mail, and passengers - it became the most reliable known transport. It made stops at relay stations, and signaled the operators of the station they were a coming. The operators gave the all clear signal back, and they stage came in. One such stop was at Rawhide Pass.
Rawhide Pass, where feisty Vinnie Holt(Susan Hayward) and toddler Callie stop for refreshment. Already there is trouble amiss as reports come in that one really bad guy, Zimmerman(Hugh Marlowe),is on the loose, holding up stages for the gold, and stop at nothing including murder. The stage will press on under protection but without Vinnie and baby. No children allowed - the ride has now become too dangerous. Vinnie will have none of this and what a marvelous scene it is as Owens and Todd (Tyrone Power and Edgar Buchanan) station worker and stationmaster must subdue one angry gal.(I'm thinking Sally Field must have gotten her inspiration for the scene in Norma Rae where she won't get in the car).
Things are not bad enough for Vinnie, but the next thing she knows Zimmerman and his gang have invaded the station and are holding the three(and the baby) until the next stage comes in that is carrying gold. And what's more for poor Vinny - she must keep up the pretense for that bad guys that she is the wife of Owen(Power)- who she detests- and gets locked in a room with him - some gals have all the luck.
The story becomes a very tense one, with Zimmerman calling all the shots, one of the gang is a lech, the others seem like they are not playing with a full deck(all are some pretty sick and scary hombres). Power and Hayward thrown together and knowing they will be killed as soon as the thieves have their gold, try desperately to form an escape plan and save the stage and it's cargo.
This is a chilling western with a splendid cast and is magnificently filmed in black and white. Directed by Henry Hathaway who manages to find the most wonderful angles, close-ups and shots that add to the tense story and builds to a heart-pounding climax. The cast as mentioned are superb. Susan Hayward, the only woman of the main cast shines as bright as ever. She is not a women to be messed with! Tyrone Power plays a man of power but also of great restraint.His character will show a fierceness for life.Their stormy relationship builds through the film. The rest of the cast is a role call of greatness - Edgar Buchanan and Hugh Marlowe as mentioned, with Jack Elam at his baddest, Dean Jagger, George Tobias,and Jeff Corey are some of the other great faces to watch for.
I purchased this as part of a set:Fox Western Classics (Rawhide / The Gunfighter / Garden of Evil)The DVD is a fabulous restoration. The black and white cinematography is outstanding - crisp and clear.The sound choices are mono or stereo and has subtitles in English,Spanish and French. There are several special features including a featurette about Susan Hayward and a restoration comparison, as well as other extras.
Saddle Up for a truly great western and a chilling ride....Laurie
Summary of Rawhide [DVD]
From acclaimed director Henry Hathaway comes this riveting thriller "expertly put together with gripping action" (Daily Variety). Screen legend Tyrone Power eschews his usual heroic persona to give a riveting performance as a mild-mannered mule herder, who finds himself in a battle of wits with a dangerous posse of outlaws in "one of the most intense melodramas to be seen... in any season." (L.A. Times). With a band of outlaws on the loose, stationmaster Sam Todd (Edgar Buchanan) and his tenderfoot underling Tom Owens (Tyrone Power) force bombshell Vinnie Holt (Susan Hayward) and her infant niece off an incoming coach to wait in the safety of the station until law can be restored. But when the murderous bunch arrives to take control of the station, it will be up to the mild-mannered Owens to outsmart the outlaws before they can execute their deadly plans.Similar DVD Movies
