The Bravados [DVD] [1958]

The twist in the tale subverts everything that preceded it, to give us a rather trite message at the end. The twist might have been more interesting without the message.

Great western. Interesting to see Joan Collins in one of her early roles.

Even before spaghetti westerns, some gritty teeth-kickers were produced by the studios.This one stars Gregory Peck, whose character fits his part well enough.The story has the ring of basis on a historical series of events, where brash careless bravados robbed and ran and robbed again, and looked up to the hangman's noose whenever they got caught.Not one of the characters is a hero, and none of them are out-and-out evil-doers, but the law of the gun always speaks loudest in the most skilful of hands.If the film had just told the story, I would have given it 5 stars, but in those days the studios always had to append a moral/religious message, which succeeds in diluting the overall impact of the film.I found some matters of detail to quibble about, but overall the story held together well enough.

Great movie western of its eraPeck is great as he always seems to be

Excellent movie, made even more better due to this Twilight Time release. Gregory Peck at his best as usual. Highly recommended to all western fans.

A film about Revenge and Redemption.A Good film, with a surprise ending.1 hr 32 min 2.35:1 ratio language/subtitles 12 chapters No extras

Peck in great form, wonderful landscapes and photography. A solid Western from a time when the genre was already in decline...

I liked this film very much I am not going to tell you the plot has it has a twist in tale ,and I think it would spoil it for anyone who has not seen it before
