Movie Reviews of The Stalking Moon
Movie Review: Not One Of Peck's Best Westerns..
Summary: 3 Stars
The Stalking Moon, starring the great Gregory Peck and actress Eva Marie Saint. A film with breathtaking scenery and cinematography, a film that is also extremely long and slow without any type of plot, even Peck is not his usual brilliant self, caused by the lack of support for a thing called "acting", there just isn't any. The scenerio is; Peck is an army scout who with a patrol of cavalry find a white woman living amongst the Apaches with her half-breed son. They are captured and Peck takes the woman and child under his wing, hell breaks lose towards the end when the Apache Father wants his son back revealing really the only real action in this film, too bad, The Stalking Moon could've and should've been better, just another western to add to my large collection. One good thing to say is the excellent transfer from Warner Bros. presented in 16x9 widescreen...more intense Gregory Peck westerns, "The Gunfighter", "Bravados", "Yellow Sky", "Only The Valiant", "MacKenna's Gold".Movie Review: Bad ratio
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been waiting for "The Stalking Moon" to come out on DVD for a long, long time -- and now it is here: in 1:33 ratio???!!!! What is going on?! This is not a living-room set, a city location. Why in the world lose most of the film, the grandeur, the beauty of the cinematography? It reminds me of the time I mistakenly bought the "Standard" version, "reformated for your TV," version of "The Music Man," and ended up with myriad scenes featuring a barbershop duet, instead of a quartet. No thanks.Movie Review: How can you make a flat fullscreen DVD?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not really a review, since I'm not buying it. I already bought a Spanish DVD more than a year ago of "The Stalking Moon", but the ratio was 1.33, not 2.35 as it should, since this is a movie filmed in Panavision. So I'm not paying to have a third of the film. Which seems to be what is being offered now in the US. And it quite a pity, since it is a very good, underrated movie, by a great underrated American filmmaker, Robert Mulligan.
