4.0 out of 5 stars 2 star movie given an extra two for Bob and Angie!, May 17, 2009

This review is from: Young Billy Young (DVD)

If you are a fan of old-school westerns...how can you truly go too far wrong with Burt Kennedy writing and directing and star power like Robert Mitchum (in any year) and Angie Dickinson (still smouldering in 1969)...not to mention Robert Walker Jr and David Carradine as the youth demographic.
This isn't a top tier Western or second tier...but middle of the road. However, I'm thrilled to have a decent looking widescreen print of it for around ten bucks as I love Robert Mitchum and hang on his every word. If you are a fan of his or Angies...pick it up. If you are searching for Westerns from the 60's...there are many many more places to start than this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars PURE ENJOYMENT, VERY LITTLE MESSAGE, JUST ENTERTAINMENT., September 30, 2009

This review is from: Young Billy Young (DVD)

The screenplay was written by Burt Kennedy based upon the western novel WHO RIDES WITH WYATT? by Will Henry (or Clay Fisher, real name Henry Wilson Allen). Movie was also released under the title Who Rides With Kane? The theme song is sung by Robert Mitchum before, and after the movie.


The plot is fairly straight forward, lawman (Ben Kane) seeks revenge against man (Frank Boone) who killed his son (son is played by Christopher Mitchum). Being appointed marshal of Lordsburg puts the killer within the lawman's reach. Plot though differing from Will Henry's book will hold the viewer's attention, although we have seen similar plots in other movies, yet with the cast of this movie everything seems to work. I received more enjoyment in watching this western than I expected.


The cast as mentioned beyond Mitchum, Dickinson, and Walker, Jr. includes: David Carradine, Jack Kelly, John Anderson, Rodopho Acosta, Parley Baer, and Paul Fix, among others. It was also exceedingly good to see 'Maverick' Jack Kelly once again in a movie and he played the black hat to its fullest.

The location of filming will be apparent to most western buffs, Old Tucson, Kinney Road, Arizona. Down through the years how many westerns one wonders have been filmed in that location, probably equalled or exceeded only by Lone Pine, California.

Most reviews will allow only a couple stars for this movie, yet with everything working as smoothly as it does, plus the boatload of veteran actors, I give it 4 stars. Having several dozen books by Will Henry/Clay Fisher on the shelf, I enjoyed it very much, a movie to watch again. Almost as good as YELLOWSTONE KELLY, but not quite.

Semper Fi.

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Western Made Worse By Bad Music Score, July 29, 2010

By 

Cuthbert J. Twiddle "Cuthy" (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Young Billy Young (DVD)

As much as I love westerns and like Robert Mitchum in almost everything this was a disappointment for me. It's not terrible, it's just not very good! A totally inappropriate (for a western) music score by Jazzman Shelly Manne doesn't help! It might be worth a look on Turner Classic Movies or MGM HD but I seriously doubt even devout western or Mitchum fans would want to sit though this thing more than once.
