Movie Reviews of The Violent Men
Movie Review: LONG AGO, AND NOT SO FAR AWAY-NOSTALGIA FOR MY PLAYING DAYS
Summary: 5 Stars
The title because in 1955 I was in Miami Beach, discussing a baseball scholarship at the U. of Miami. By coincidence two of my aunts showed up at the same hotel. We went to dinner at the The Fontainebleau Hotel and I ate 2 of their huge corned beef sandwiches and a giant banana split, both of which they bragged were the largest on the beach. As we wandered south on Collins, and turned onto Lincoln, there at a small movie house was playing The Violent men.
Glenn Ford played John Parrish, a small cattle ranch owner and former swashbuckling Confederate Cavalry officer with much Civil War combat experience under his belt. He was considering selling out to the Wilkensons, mega ranchers, who are plotting to take over the entire valley, by force if necessary. Cole Wilkenson, in a hurry, crosses the line with, the seemingly mild mannered Parrish, when the first wave of violence strikes underthe direction of Brian Keith (Cole Wilkenson), whose edgy relationship with his older brother, now crippled, Edward G.Robinson, the builder of Anchor Ranch, Lew Wilkenson, and Coles affair with the always brilliant Barbara Stanwick, puts pressure on everyone.
Ford, not used to being pushed around, begins guerilla operations, ala Rambo, in what is a range war neither Keith, Stanwick nor Robinson ever bargained for. Meanwhile Stanwick juggles, the husband on which she is cheating, her daughter, Diane Foster, suspicious of her relationship with Cole, who is also Juggling an affair with a Lady of the town and Stanwick (whattaguy!). The entire mess explodes into a war, within a war, within a war, and a plot of which the original script writer, William Shakespeare, would have been proud. Once the rapid fire action gets rolling it is almost non-stop until the final shoot-out and conflagration.
If it is action, corruption, smoldering, barely concealed 1955 version of sex, you are after, and gunslinging, old fashioned, twisted characters, contorted plots, circa post-April 26, 1564, the date of the Immortal Bards, birth, this movie is for you.
