Movie Reviews of The Hallelujah Trail
Movie Review: Great Movie--Poor Quality DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
When this movie came out it was rumored around Florida State University that it was written in a week as a bet among friends; the author claimed he could write a novel in a week. He did it and won $100.00 in the bet. I recently saw this for the third time, the first in a theater. I said from the beginning the author deserved his prize.
I have remembered this movie, and recommended it, for 43 years. I still recommend it. The acting is good, as you would expect, and it is a movie suitable for the whole family. Thid movie will teach you nothing about history or politics, it has no social value to promote--not even abstinence. What it will do is make you laugh.
Enjoy it.
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies
Summary: 4 Stars
The Hallelujah Trail is one of my favorite movies. The only negative issue I have with this particular DVD is that it has portions of the original film blacked out. You can hear the sound track but there is NO picture, only a black screen. This black-out occurs during the opening credits, during it's intermission and, at the end, when the final credits should be rolling. I happen to enjoy the artwork for the opening, mid and closing of the "Hallelujah Trail". It is very disappointing not having it included in this DVD. Having to sit through 2 -3 minutes of a black screen before the story begans is a bummer. I still love the movie, though, and I'm glad I bought it.
Movie Review: Hallelujia, now I see it !!!
Summary: 4 Stars
John Sturges directed so many of my favorite films, from "The Great Escape" to "The Magnificent Seven", that I have to pay hommage to his great humorous homage to The West. One of the earliest films to lampoon it's leads (but nicely) it stands out as both a tribute to all the great Westerns as well as a campy send-up as well. And what a cast! Burt Lancaster demonstrated a talent for comedy that I would never have thought at the time. And Jim Hutton, Brian Keith, Lee Remick....
One of Sturges' regular contributers, Elmer Bernstein wrote an emcompassing score that went right to the heart of things.
Very recommended, especially if you loved westerns.
Movie Review: A great comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I do not have still this DVD I remember the film perfectly. I saw it a few times in the past. It's a great western comedy well directed by Sturges with a flock of hilarious situations due to the fact that all the "tribes" (not just the indian ones) in the film go after a trail of whiskey: from the gold miners until the cavalry, the women league against the alcohol, the indians and so on. In my country, Spain, this film is generally known as "Whisky Hills Battle". I hope to see it released here soon... it's a kind comedy for all the family. Buy it because you surely will enjoyand revisit many times
Movie Review: Who Knew Lancaster was Funny??
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, who knew?? Burt Lancaster made me burst out laughing more than once. The movie itself is a bit dated, with humor and circumstances suited for a less jaded audience than you can find these days. However, the filming, the outstanding music, and the performances of Lancaster, Pleasance and Remick will make this one viewable for a long time. I wish the entire soundtrack was available! Get this one just to watch Lancaster, if you must.
