Movie Reviews of The Man From Colorado
Movie Review: Glenn Ford wound up tight
Summary: 3 Stars
The late Glenn Ford who passed away last year, was a very under-rated actor who never got his due as his son Peter will profess. This psychological Western shows Ford at his best in one of his few villainous roles (the other being"3:10 to Yuma"). His buddy William Holden is also excellent as his best friend and the one who sees the chink in his armor as he slowly descends into madness though Ellen Drew is totally wasted as Ford's wife. It's competentedly directed by Henry Levin but unfortunately if the writing were better this would've qualified as a classic (maybe Ford or Hawks could've helmed this). We know that Ford is aware of his psychosis as he writes in his diary and yet he trys to deny it from his best friend and wife--that doesn't make sense at all as far as the writing is concerned. In otherwards, there are holes in the story which leaves Ford, excellent as he is here, to make the character one-note. Also we know very little of his relationship to his wife (Drew) or why he continues on his vengeful blood-lust. Anyway do see it for the Ford/Holden combo since it would be the last film the two would do together (Holden before he died, had called Ford and said he would like to do another Western with him again).
Summary of The Man From Colorado
A judge teeters on the brink of insanity... a town on the edge of revolt. And only one man stands between them in this powerful western featuring two of Hollywood's greatest leading men. Glenn Ford delivers a mesmerizing performance as Owen Devereaux a sadistic Civil War vet who continues to kill for the joy of it even after he becomes a judge. William Holden is outstanding as Del Stewart Devereaux's marshal and ex-army pal who tries to restrain the judge's violent nature. When Devereaux's psychotic behavior forces the townspeople to take up arms against him the former friends are pited together against each other in a brutal conflict with fatal consequences. The suspense never falters in acclaimed director Henry Levin's tightly woven tale which delves into the devastating psychological effects of war.System Requirements: Running Time 98 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: WESTERN/MISC.
