 | This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The story line is interesting, the romance is exciting, the acting is flawless, the horseriding action is phenomenal, the scenery is breathtaking, and the music is superb. I can't say enough about this movie; it's one of those rare films that leaves you wanting more as the ending credits roll.
I had the VHS for years, then bought the DVD. I had planned to get rid of the VHS, but decided to keep it after watching the DVD because the picture seemed darker, making some scenes a little more difficult to view. But I will keep both for my collection because I love this film so much, and I also bought and highly recommend the soundtrack. |

| I grew up watching this at my Grandmother's house with my cousins just for the excitement of the horse scenes at the end, or the fistfights in the middle. Now that my attention span is more mature, I watch the movie to appreciate the drama, storyline, plot exposition, and even the romance. Douglas does a supurb job of playing two charachters who appear at the same time in the same scene. Flawless script. Highly recommended. |

| Hey, missileman, right on!
This movie will intrigue horse-lovers the world over. Definitely a keeper --- guess I will keep the video and DVD copies.
Would like to know more about the horse[s] used, especially Craig's gelding. It seems to have a bit of lag when Curly tries to pull off the bridle and when Craig puts it back on again.
But who can pick apart a thoroughly enjoyable movie that is such a treat to watch.
I would love a copy of the article [Western Horseman?] of how the cliff-jump was orcastrated - what a fabulous stretch of photography - and her cliff-hanger? Wow!
Just intensely great!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ++++++++++++ |
| Rating | | | Date | July 30, 2004 | | Summary | Great movie, but needs remastering. | Content
| The movie itself is a classic and worthy of anyone's collection, however, the DVD edition badly needs digital remastering. It is slightly better than VHS quality. I'd hoped it would come out on DVD and pounced on it when I saw it, but when I sat down to watch, I was pretty disappointed with it.
Still, if you can pick it up for a couple bucks, it's worth the buy until something better comes along. If you haven't seen the movie, it is definitely a must-see...particularily if you want an eyeful of some fantastic horse/rider scenes. |
