5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite movies of all-time!, July 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: From Noon till Three [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I first saw this movie in the early 1980's when Bronson was still very active in his film career. I had never been a fan of his movies--he just didn't seem to have a lot of personality. Then I saw "From Noon Until Three"; I could hardly believe he was the same actor I'd seen in other movies. He was GREAT in acting out the irony of the plot; he was funny, he was charasmatic, and he was sinister (at the beginning of the movie). It was as if Bronson finally "woke up" and came to life on the screen for the first time for me. He was great! His wife Jill was great!. I enjoyed the movie so much that I wanted to see it again, and the second time, I decided that it would become one of my all-time favorite movies. If I could give it more stars, I would. It is definitely a "Must See".

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusual Western Ballad, July 10, 2004

By 

gobirds2 (New England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From Noon till Three [VHS] (VHS Tape)

FROM NOON TILL THREE is an entirely refreshing and unanticipated idiosyncratic Western full of sentimentalism from Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland. Knowing that Bronson and Ireland were man and wife in actual life makes this film more intimate as it unfolds as some affectionate parlor trick and wink of the eye. Bronson and Ireland explore unknown passions and tenderness of the soul as two strangers thrown together by fate for their accidental afternoon tryst. Elmer Bernstein is known for his more rousing scores that he composed for Westerns. Here Bernstein employs a romantic and bittersweet score for this fairytale Western that works beautifully for the charismatic Bronson and Epicurean Ireland. This is a wonderful film.

This review is from: From Noon till Three [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a darkly funny, romantic western by husband and wife team Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland, which deftly deconstructs the myth-making so many of the West's heroes are the product of. It's yet another overlooked classic by director Frank D. Gilroy, who struggled with little fanfare to create films not quite arty enought for the art-house crowd, yet not mainstream enough for the mainstream movie-goer. The results, as in this comedy, are a subtle unpacking of the "hero myth" and how fantasy is often preferable to reality, even when it is alive and well, wearing a big moustache and shaggy hair, and staring you right between the eyes. It's a shame Bronson never really returned to the comic flair he showed in this film -- but many of us are waiting to enjoy his charms in the long-overdue DVD release.
