Movie Reviews of The Grey Fox
Movie Review: The Grey Fox
Summary: 5 Stars
This should be required viewing for anyone who appreciates a wonderfully made film with a literate, intelligent screenplay.
Former Hollywood stunt man, Richard Farnsworth, gives a terrific performance as Bill Miner an outlaw of the Old West who emerges into the bewildering, early years of the 20th century after three decades in prison. He tries to resume his former "trade" but it is clear that those days are gone for ever.
Farnsworth is so believable in the role, which is studied and beautifully underplayed. He is supported by a flawless cast and the burgeoning romance between Miner and feminist Kate Flynn - another great performance, this time by Jackie Burroughs - is both tender and credible.
The wole thing is played out against the rugged splendour of the Canadian Rockies and is topped off with a jaunty score provided by the Chieftains. Listen out for the haunting melody played over the closing credits.
After a number of years searching, I recently managed to get hold of an ex-rental video of the film The quality is not too good, but it will do for the moment.
This gem of a movie is crying out for DVD release - NOW!
