Featured review
Audie Murphy at His Peak...Off-Beat...Ahead-of-its-Time...Upside-Down Western...A Hidden Gem
This 1957 MovIe Arrived when the War-Hero's Status in Hollywood was at an All Time High.
A Guaranteed Audience-Fan-Base had Developed for His Above Average Output of Colorful Westerns.
This was Certainly the Most Off-Beat, Ahead-of-its-Time Offering in His Usually Conservative but Sometimes Edgy Style. Taking a Feminist Stance with an Outrageous Idea in Context.
The Silly Title Foreshadows Failure but just the Opposite Happened.
If Anyone Thinks this is Going to be Powder-Puff-Fluff, Think Again.
There are Strong Individual Characters that Fight, Suffer, Bleed, and Die.
The Violence is Not Toned Down, if Anything, it is Ramped-Up.
Turns-Out His Instincts were Correct and the Movie Works-Beautifully. It Looks Great, has a Big-Cast and a Story that would be Right at Home in Today's Trend of Gender-Bending.
What Might have Come-Off as a Cringe-Fest, is Handled so Perfectly that the Movie's Audacious Story is Dramatic, Action-Packed, and Slightly Humorous.
But a Deadly Serious Against-the-Grain Attitude and the Approach is Delivered Defiantly.
The Cast Answered the Challenge with a Bravado that is Charming and Engaging. There's Not a Wink-Link in the Chain of Actresses Asked to Flip Expectations on its Head.
They Surely Succeed in Making this One of Murph's Most Endearing Westerns
It's a Brilliant Manipulation with Unexpected and Overwhelming Entertainment. This One Rises to the Top of the Decades Fixation on the Genre.
A Must-See for Audie Murphy Fans.
He is in Total Control, and Western Movie Buffs are in for an Unexpected Surprise Treat.
It's One of those that May Even Appeal to Movie-Watchers Not Generally Drawn to Western Movies.
An Underrated, and Unacknowledged Mini-Masterpiece of Imaginative, Heart-Rendering, and Profound Movie-Making for the Masses.
