Movie Reviews of The Proud Ones

Movie Review: Ryan in a rare role
Summary: 3 Stars

The late Robert Ryan rarely played sympathetic characters since he was usually relegated to the vicious, bigoted villain you'd loved to hate. This fine little B-western was an exception. In this film and later in "Lawman", he plays an ageing marshall who is slowly losing his sight and knows his days as a lawman are numbered. He is looking forward to retiring with lady love (a gorgeous Virginia Mayo) but the evil forces of the town won't let him until one day a young man (Jeffrey Hunter) rides into town with thoughts of revenge toward Ryan. How he confronts his dilemna with Hunter and Robert Middleton as an evil saloon owner is intriguing to watch. If you are like me, and am a fan of this greatly under-rated actor--you'll like this little Western.

Summary of The Proud Ones

Studio: Tcfhe Release Date: 05/13/2008 Rating: Nr

The main draw (and quick draw) of this 1956 Western is the marvelous presence of Robert Ryan in the lead role. This underappreciated actor plays a Kansas marshal with a history of perceived cowardice in his past. Everything comes to a head in a single week: a cattle drive ends in town, bringing shootin' and hollerin'; Ryan's nemesis, a casino-runner played by veteran bad guy Robert Middleton, arrives to soak the suckers; and young hotshot Jeffrey Hunter, whose father was killed by Ryan, arrives with revenge on his mind. Oh, and Ryan himself begins to suffer from blinding headaches. Despite the crowded plot, the results are Fifties Western boilerplate, with few distinguishing features beyond the cast. But the supporting ranks are crowded with essential horse-saga actors: Walter Brennan, Arthur O'Connell, Rodolfo Acosta, and of course the bearded, lizard-eyed Middleton. Virginia Mayo plays Ryan's hotel-keeper ladyfriend. Ace cinematographer Lucien Ballard gets a few good outdoor CinemaScope set-ups into the generally backlot feel of the thing. But the reason to see the film is lanky Robert Ryan, whose compelling mix of neurosis, gentleness, and fury is on full display here. --Robert Horton
