A Prize of Gold
|
3
|
Must be worth a second look if
only for that insouciant smirk (Widmark) and a very young George Cole
|
5.5
|
Alvarez Kelly
|
3
|
It’s OK.
|
6
|
Backlash
|
4
|
Absolutely definitely yes.
|
10
|
Bedford Incident
|
2
|
Maybe, if only to get that quote
about Widmark's character being such a mean bastard (and doing it so
effortlessly)
|
6
|
Broken Lance
|
2
|
Probably.
|

|
Cheyenne Autumn
|
2
|
A film even RW described as a
‘bit boring’. Possibly, but not any time soon.
|
3
|
Death of a Gunfighter
|
4
|
Yes
|
9.5
|
Destination Gobi.
|
3
|
Quite likely.
|

|
Don’t Bother to Knock
|
1
|
Possibly, if only to see it was
really as bad as I thought it was the first time.
|
2
|
Down to the Sea in Ships
|
2
|
Possibly, given a wet enough
afternoon.
|
4
|
Escape to the Sun
|
3
|
Yes. Widmark hated this
film. I like it!
|

|
Garden of Evil.
|
4
|
Absolutely definitely.
Wonderful film.
|

|
Halls of Montezuma
|

Brilliant film;
yes.
|
7.5
|
Hell and High Water.
|
3
|
Quite likely.
|
6
|
Judgment at Nuremburg
|
2
|
Possibly; a tough film to watch
though.
|
6
|
Kiss of Death.
|
1
|
Not that fussed; Udo not my
favourite character.
|
4
|
Madigan
|
3
|
Would very much like to.

No, not enough Widmark in it :-)
|
2
|
Night and the City
|
3
|
Yes, one of the best noirs made.
|
7
|
No Way Out
|
3
|
Yes, but best rationed to keep
the shock value!
|
9.5
|
O. Henry’s Full House
|
3
|
Re-run of Udo’s character in a
short story – good though.
|
7.5
|
Panic in the Streets
|
3
|
Possibly, Widmark’s character is
so whingy though!
|
5
|
Pickup on South Street
|
3
|
The more I see this film the
more I love it. A great noir.
|
9
|
Red Skies of Montana
|
1
|
Not too bothered. Very
2-D.
|
3
|
Roadhouse
|
3
|
Definitely, if only for Ida
Lupino’s singing.
|
9
|
Slattery's Hurricane
|
3
|
Quite likely, though don't consider
it a particularly great film. Worth another go though.
|
4
|
Street With No Name
|
3
|
Quite likely. Widmark’s a very good baddie though not
keen on the overall documentary style.
|
7
|
Take the High Ground!
|
3
|
Yes, curiously.
|
7
|
The Alamo
|
4
|
Oh yes. Though not for John Wayne.
|
7
|
The Frogmen
|
4
|
Probably the best war film I’ve
seen
|
9
|
The Last Wagon
|
2
|
Possibly. This may well be
the first film that I have actually seen to death. Would like to redo
the screen shots at some point.
|
9.5
|
The Law and Jake Wade
|
3
|
Yes – though Clint Hollister has
to be the baddest cowboy ever!
|
8.5
|
The Sell Out
|
3
|
Hopefully now
have a DVD with decent sound quality
|
6
|
The Trap
|
3
|
Yes, it’s strangely compelling.
|
9.5
|
The Way West
|
1
|
An averagely
good film let down by poor soundtrack.
|
5.5
|
Time Limit
|
2
|
Would like to get the DVD, so
likely.
|
7
|
True Colors (sic)
|
0
|
Not bothered. Don’t like
Cusak.
|

|
Two Rode Together
|
1
|
Irritating film (see my review
comments) but maybe.
|
6
|
Warlock
|
4
|
Very much yes, especially to
compare it with the book (which is excellent).
|
10
|
When the Legends Die
|
0
|
Dull and far too long; seen it
and ticked it off list.
|
2
|
Yellow Sky
|
3
|
Yes, though now it seems odd to
see a Western in b/w. Works though.
