5.0 out of 5 stars A Fistful Of Raquel, July 26, 2010

Since I was a teenager growing up in the late sixties, I always thought that Raquel Welch was greater than the sum of her parts (no pun intended) and always gave excellent performances which were few and far between when the public craved the cheesecake rather than the actress. She proved this with 'FATHOM', one of the best female secret agent movies ever made and her trio of westerns ,'BANDOLERO' in which she played a grieving widow with teeth, '100 RIFLES' playing Burt Reynolds girlfriend of the Revolution and could handle a gun and Jim Brown as well as her bandit team, and 'HANNIE CAULDER' the best role of her career and one of the most underrated films in the Western genre. Written and Directed by Burt Kennedy , this was a British, Spanish,co-production which is in the company of Edward Dmytryk's 'SHALAKO' with Sean Connery and Don Medford's 'THE HUNTING PARTY' with Oliver Reed and Gene Hackman and could almost pass as a Spaghetti Western but not quite. Not only does it give Raquel a pivotol role as the heroine obsessed with revenge but it has a stunning cast. Robert Culp shines as Thomas Price , a bounty hunter who takes Raquel under his wing and teaches her the way of the gun, Sir Christopher Lee licking his acting chops in the great role of Bailey, a lethal gunsmith who creates the perfect weapon for Raquel's vengeance and the targets of her revenge, three of the greatest character actors : Ernest Borgnine, Strother Martin, and at his leering best, Jack Elam. Add Stephen Boyd in a special cameo and you have an incredible mix. A rousing music score by Ken Thorne and beautifully photographed by Edward Scaife , 'HANNIE CAULDER' is a masterpiece and along with 'FATHOM', demonstrates the underrated acting ability of Raquel Welch who deservedly had the mantle as the most beautiful woman ever to grace the screen. Kudos to Olive Films for finally releasing this film for fans and future generations in need of great entertainment, the quality is outstanding. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!, May 16, 2010

Obviously this "review" is not for the DVD - it hasn't been released yet. The 5 stars are a kind of "what took you so long" for an official Region 1 release! I bought an import version (Korean I think) of this movie several years ago because I got tired of waiting, but I have no idea yet how it compares to this upcoming release.

This movie is a strange bird. I find it a very enjoyable "revenge" Western. But there IS something jarring about the slapstick way the gang of rapists (Elam, Martin and Borgnine) are portrayed. There is also something stupid about the way the "mysterious stranger" is introduced into the plot towards the end of the movie - I have often wondered if some part of the story line was just left out through bad editing, or if the director was just manifesting contempt for the audience. Maybe this release, if it includes commentary, will clear up the matter.

Anyhow, neither of these two criticisms ultimately detract from my overall enjoyment of Hannie Caulder. And, of course, Raquel Welch is a welcome sight in any movie!

I'm so glad that this movie is finally to be released on DVD. I have an "imported" copy. Although I have difficulty with the, almost comedic,antics of the villains,as well as the mysterious stranger, this movie is a gem. The late Robert Culp was always one of my favorite actors. As Thomas Luther Price, his courage, integrity and prowess with a gun are unmatched...as is his compassion. Being a shooter and collector of "Old West" firearms, I found that as a teacher, Robert Culp was unbeatable. He showed Hannie the proper form, and approach to shooting a six gun, with a mixture of toughness, understanding, and patience. His advice, at all levels, was both wise and true. Such was Thomas Luther Price's "presence", that something about the movie seemed to die with his absence. For those who value courage and integrity, coupled with compassion,and the "romance" of a love left unspoken, I highly recommed this movie.
