Movie Review: Classic Soap Opera Adventure w / A History Lesson
Summary: 5 Stars

This Is a Classic, Layered Soap Opera Adventure. It takes place over a Generation In a Fictional Country In South America. All of It's principal characters are quite striking In their Beauty. All Necessary for a Soap Opera to Proceed.
What I find Interesting Is that the Story evolves like so many of the Dictatorships In South America.
You have a Brutal Dictator, giving No Quarter to his Citizens, and then Resistance Develops to the Abuse, and You have Leftist type Rebels Intending to Overthrow said Regime and take Power to Improve Peoples In The NAME of The
The New Victorious Regime then Evolves Into the Same Form of Governmental Rule that they Just Removed. ex: CUBA........
What Goes Around In all of these Oppressed Backward Countries, Always Seems to Come Around.

Movie Review: One of the GREAT Bad Movies of All Time!
Summary: 5 Stars

This review is based on the VHS release: ADVENTURERS ranks among the Top 10 "Very Best of the BERRY Worst" in my book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE MOVIE GUIDE (also available from Amazon.com). Based on one of Harold Robbins' trashiest novels, it tells the story of Dax Xenos, a South American revolutionary who as a child witnesses the triple murder of his mother, his sister...and his puppy dog(!). Dax spends the rest of his life confusing sex and death. Among those along for fun in this laugh-a-minute "drama" are a wooden Candice Bergen as his wealthy American wife, Ernest Borgnine in Man-Tan as a Latino father figure, and Olivia deHavilland as a rich woman who hires Dax to be her gigolo. Every element of this one is pricelessly idiotic, from the costumes and sets to the music and sound effects. If you love bad movies, this one is a MUST!

Movie Review: Review of the Adventurers
Summary: 5 Stars

I first viewed this movie when I was young back in the early 1970's. I purchased it and viewed it again some 35 years later. I find the movie, although fictional, a decent snapshot of the sometimes violent politics that was the rule in Latin America for over 150 years.

One line at the end of the movie said it all, "Corteguay will always belong to the revolution". It was sad after all the fighting and dying the only thing acomplished was killing one tyrant and putting another in his place.

Movie Review: Another winner - Classic Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

The Adventurers is a classic movie of polictical intrigue, romance, and wonderful story and acting. Was thrilled to find it on Amazon and immediately placed my order. Received it when expected and I'm never disappointed with any of my purchases made through Amazon. If you love movies with great story lines and great acting from the 60's and 70's, make this movie part of your library collection.
