Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

arthur_tafero A lot of good actors in this one. Gregory Peck leads the way as the relentless manhunter who wants revenge for his murdered wife. Also good in the film is Joan Collins, who is not bad as a "friend" (I need more friends like Joan Collins). Henry Silva gives a fine performance, as does Albert Salmi (who was called Salami by his childhood friends). Lee Van Cleef is usually good, but I cant picture him as a whiner. The only miscast member is Stephen Boyd, as a sex maniac; a role I did not find believable. The story starts slowly, but picks up steam, and there is a great twist ending which I will not reveal. One of the best vigilante films of all time.

en_blanche I enjoyed this movie. The plot was interesting. But. Yes, there is a "but."Many strange things happened in this movie, like, why exactly a posse couldn't take care of an outlaw by themselves. They even let the outlaw ride away to get back to his friends. I will not complain about any other plot holes because there have been other reviewers pointing them out already. What's really bugging me is the romance between Jim and Josefa. I knew they were ex-couple. But Jim was supposed to be a mourning husband, trying to avenge his wife's death. He said he still loved her. He rode 100 miles hunting these men for six months! But at the end of the movie, Jim seemed to accept Josefa as his new girlfriend easily. Dead wife forgotten.Josefa was strange too. She wanted Jim. She knew Jim was married but she flirted with him anyway. After knowing about his wife's tragedy, she still tried to get closer to him. She wanted to go to his ranch right away. She said she'd take care of his daughter as if the girl was "her own" and then she kissed him right in front of Jim's daughter. It appeared to me that the woman was down right shameless. And Jim accepting her made him a lesser man than when he firstly rode into the town.The relationship grew too fast it was groundless, meaningless and made the story worse. Many western movies made the same mistake.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a cowboy named "Jim Douglas" (Gregory Peck) riding into the town of Rio Arriba to witness the hanging of 4 outlaws who he believes were responsible for the rape and murder of his wife 6 months earlier. Although he is treated with great suspicion the sheriff, "Eloy Sanchez" (Herbert Rudley) takes him to the jail to see each of the outlaws face to face. Right after that he encounters a woman named "Josefa Velarde" (Joan Collins) who he met 5 years earlier in New Orleans. Unfortunately, Josefa immediately realizes that Jim has changed quite a bit since then and not necessarily for the better. Not long afterward the 4 prisoners escape and Jim takes it upon himself to lead the posse in their efforts to track them down. Now, rather than reveal any more of the story and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this is a grim western which showcases the talents of Gregory Peck to the utmost. Definitely worth a look for those who enjoy a good western.

daviddaphneredding While Gregory Peck is not the mean outlaw he is in "Duel in the Sun", he is, however, a low-keyed yet mean, cold man who is going to wage an all-out, one-man war against the four men who he knows have killed his wife. Peck does well in the role of Jeff Douglas, the cold, vindictive man who will stop at nothing to accomplish his own purpose. Joan Collins is a very pretty, sweet, caring friend Josefa. Andrew Duggan in one of his few decent roles is convincing as a priest. Stephen Boyd, Henry Silva, Albert Salmi, and Lee Van Cleef are four of the "meanest" men who have ever lived: they definitely portray their roles to a tee. Because of all that I like in a western-beautiful rustic scenery, good action, and actors portraying their characters well, I think this western has not received the acclaim it, I fell, justly deserves.
