Movie Reviews of The Kentuckian
Movie Review: A delightful adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent, typical, and enjoyable 1955 Burt Lancaster film. Lancaster plays an uneducated hunter from Kentucky who left his home state with his son, who adores him, his dog, and a long horn that both he and his son understand that his son will only be able to blow and produce a sound when he is grown. They leave to escape the crowdedness of Kentucky and to settle in the open spaces of Texas. They have $210, just enough to pay for a ship to Texas.
On their way to the river, walking all the time, they come across a beautiful white enslaved/bounded woman who they buy free for all the money they have. The three and the dog make it to Lancaster's brother's house, by the river. They need to work there to make money for their passage to Texas. Lancaster, an unsophisticated man, is duped by his brother and mocked by the local citizens, but finds a way, by using simple common sense, to gain the admiration of many, but not all of the locals.
In Kentucky, Lancaster's family was in a feud with another family, and two men of the feuding family follow Lancaster and are determined to kill him. Complicating the matter, Lancaster feels that he is in love with a local school teacher and decides to give up his plan to go to Texas. This causes a rift with his son.
Will he resume his plan to go to Texas or stay to marry the school teacher and educate his son? What will happen to the freed beautiful woman? Will the two feuding men be able to kill Lancaster? What happens to the local man, an expert with a whip, who dislikes Lancaster and wants to kill him? Will Lancaster's son grow to blow the horn?
