Movie Reviews of The Stalking Moon
Movie Review: The Stalking Moon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a cracking litle Western. I sat through it twice when it first came out in 1968/9. You can feel yourself digging deeper into your seat in scenes where Salvaje is either immenent or on screen. Peck unplays the scout who reluctantly takes on the woman and her son unkowing of their true situation. Scenes involving him and the lovely Eva Marie Saint are played low key yet are suffused with emotion. There's no sham heroics - Peck as Sam Varner is thoroughly professional in his approach to snaring the deadly Apache who always seems two moves ahead of the game. The music by Fred Karlin underscores the tension without tipping you off to what may come next. 10/10Movie Review: The Stalking Moon
Summary: 5 Stars
Gregory Peck is a cavalry scout who agrees to escort a white woman and her half-Apache son from a captured camp to a new and different life far away. Robert Forster is the cool-guy cavalry friend, who comes to warn Peck's character that the boy's Apache warrior father is coming for his son in this atypical western movie that emphasizes suspense. Peck is excellent in silently conveying somber caring feeling throughout the movie. Noland Clay is also very good as the stoic Apache boy, who waits for his father's return. There is also a large amount of mountain desert scenery featured in the movie.Movie Review: One of my favorite all time westerns

What can you say about Gregory Peck? This is one of my three most favorite of his - To Kill a Mockingbird, Roman Holiday, and Stalking Moon. And even then, Robert Forster steals every scene with a most under-played performance as a half-breed.
The tension builds and builds with perfect pacing.
To me, everything is perfect - the pacing, the performances, the direction, and on and on - in this movie.The best John Ford Westerns, Shane, Stalking Moon, and Blood on the Moon (a really, really under-rated movie) are the best there are and the best that could be.
Movie Review: Gregory Peck in The Stalking Moon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most terrifying action films I've ever seen. It is fantastically acted by Gregory Peck and Eva Marie Saint. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I saw it years ago when it first came out in the theater. Watching it on DVD it has lost none of its suspense. Well worth buying and watching again.Movie Review: The Stalking Moon
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally! One of my favorite westerns is being released (in August 2008) on dvd! But ... it is being released in 1.33:1 format instead of widescreen, and that is very disappointing! I already have the movie in vhs, and have waited for years for the widescreen version on disc. Very poor marketing decision for such a great classic western.
