Movie Reviews of Vera Cruz
Movie Review: Look at Those Teeth!
Summary: 3 Stars
A greedy tale of gold and treachery in the 1866 Mexico of Emperor Maximilian, "Vera Cruz" was wrapped with all the gloss Technicolor/Superscope-enhanced location scenery you could ask for. "Vera Cruz" was filmed near Cuernavaca, Mexico. Seldom seen and historical Teotihuacan pyramids and the Chapultepec palace are all part of the story. Here, there are no real good guys-everyone is flawed. The violence is raw, especially towards women. 1954's "Vera Cruz" stars 52-year-old Gary Cooper and the physically virile Burt Lancaster. The excellent cast includes Cesar Romero, Jack Elam, Ernest Borgnine, Morris Ankrum, and Charles Bronson. It was directed by Robert Aldrich, now best known for "The Dirty Dozen" in 1967. "Vera Cruz" wrapped filmingin May, 1954, with a bloated budget of [$$]. No matter. United Artists later reported world-wide gross sales of [millions]. This lively new MGM DVD is presented in Widescreen, with 1 Trailer. What's wrong with "Vera Cruz"? Well, you'll find it hard to warm up to these violent, shady characters. But, as a 1950's Western buddy-movie, it'll do just fine.
