Movie Reviews of The Hallelujah Trail
Movie Review: Glory glory hallelujah
Summary: 5 Stars
A true to life movie about the trials and tribulations in transporting necessary supplies through the west to save Denver from a most unthinkable drought.
Two major incidences are chronicled here "The battle of Whisky hills" and "the Battle of Quicksand Bottoms."
Crossroads in a sands storm see many groups passing. There is the vital element being driving by striking Irish teamsters, approaching evil temperance females led by troops desperate to get rid of them, Indians including "Sky Eyes" (blue eyes due to irregularity in his ancestry), and last but not least the Denver militia.
The list of actors alone could carry this movie. Martin Landau needs lose watching.
While you are watching this confrontation, be sure to protect both your rears simultaneously.
What does the oracle see? Many things are bout to go awry. Has Cora a change of heart? Col. Gearhart tells Cora to "Get away from my cords." Will there be some interesting solutions? Stay toned for the fascinating conclusion.
Movie Review: The first- and still best-Mocumentary?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies. It is a very warmly told send up of every historical documentary ever made about any conflict. Many fine actors are featured but the two who truly stand out are Burt Lancaster and Lee Remick. Lee Remicks portayal of Cora Templeton Massingale has to be her all time finest performance, played to absolute perfection. Unlike later mocumentaries this film is a light handed comic gem- there is humor at all levels from the most basic slapstick to witty repartee. This film does not just amuse- you will find some outright belly laughs in this picture.Movie Review: Great satire on negotiating !
Summary: 5 Stars
The story is great satire on the negotiation process. Burt Lancaster is thrown in the role of trying to bring a concensus between 1) a bunch of boozing miners, including an "oracle", 2) a group of prohibitionist women led by Lee Remick who lost three husbands to alcohol, 3) a businessman trying to ship a wagon train of whiskey, 4) the striking teamster union drivers for the wagons, 5) a tribe of Indians, one of whom is a "symbol of good faith," who want a share of the cargo. The situation becomes the hilarious bane of Lancaster's existence.Movie Review: Hallelujah Trail
Summary: 5 Stars
Burt Lancaster is at his best in this comedy about whiskey and the temperance movement. I have watched this movie a dozen times and still laugh at the story line and all the aspects brought to the final ending. Mr. Lancaster plays a straight laced Colonel just trying to do his job, but the supporting cast such as Jim Hutton make his life unbearable. This is a family movie all can enjoy, and a laugh a minute.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't have this DVD, but when I was younger, I used to watch this movie all the time. My brother and I loved rewinding the movie to watch certain scenes over and over again. The only word I can think to describe this movie accurately would have to be quirky. It has whiskey, women protesting the whiskey, men protesting the women, and Indians doing who knows what. It's a great movie to watch.
