Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Armand it is not the best word but includes the atmosphere, the flavor of old classic western, the sentimental scenes , the acting and the tension between characters, the end and the message, the few images who defines a kind of magic and, sure, the performances. it is little more than a western - seems be more profound by many movies of genre - and it has the virtue of interesting meeting, Kirk Douglas and Rock Hudson in admirable exploration of roles nuances. a film about past, love and justice. about subtle links between people. and, sure, about hope. a good occasion to remember values and art of great actors.a beautiful film. not the greatest but useful for rediscover the spirit of a special art to do a good film - the recipes of Robert Aldrich seems be unique.

edwagreen This 1961 offering paired Dorothy Malone and Rock Hudson for the 3rd time and had the added gift of Kirk Douglas.Joseph Cotten's role is wasted as the alcoholic weakling of a civil war combatant in the film. His name in the film is John Breckinridge. How did they come up with a name like that? The real John Breckinridge ran for president in the 1860 presidential election.An older-looking Dorothy Malone played Belle, Cotten's wife, who is visited by old flame Douglas who is being trailed by Sheriff Hudson. Malone shows a gritty but kinder veneer than her Oscar winning Mary Lee Hadley in the memorable "Written on the Wind," 4 years before.Carol Linley is appealing as her daughter who falls for Douglas, never knowing who he really is in relation to her.The dramatic ending here is great as Douglas takes the ultimate step in his life. He becomes terribly conflicted when he discovers who Linley is.Other than what I've described, the picture could have been a routine cattle drive.

Claudio Carvalho The gunman Brendan O'Malley (Kirk Douglas) crosses the border riding to Mexico and arrives at the ranch of Belle Breckenridge (Dorothy Malone). He asks to spend the night in the place and meets her daughter Melissa (Carol Lynley). Belle was his sweetheart and now is married with the drunkard and coward John Breckenridge (Joseph Cotton), but O'Malley still has a crush on her. John hires O'Malley to lead his herd to Texas; however, Sheriff Dana Stribling (Rock Hudson) is hunting O'Malley to serve a warrant for the death of his brother-in-law and also arrives in the farm, where he does not have jurisdiction to arrest O'Malley. Stribling also accepts to work for John, bringing the cattle to Texas, and promises to deliver O'Malley to the law in the arrival. Along their journey, John dies and the travelers face Indians and outlaws; Stribling woos and is flirted by Belle, increasing the tension between the two men. Nevertheless, Missy falls in love for O'Malley and seduces him, but Belle discloses a secret that leads O'Malley to an ultimate decision in the last sunset in the borderland."The Last Sunset" is an unforgettable western with a mature romance and a plot point with a subtle incestuous relationship that leads to a tragic conclusion. The cinematography and the camera work are impressive with amazing sequences in the desert with actors, actresses and stunts riding horses and conducting cattle in the sandy soil. Kirk Douglas, Rock Hudson, Dorothy Malone and Carol Lynley have remarkable performances, and the beauty of Carol Lynley is something awesome with her doll face. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "O Último Pôr-do-Sol" ("The Last Sunset")
