DVD Reviews of Cowboy

DVD Review: coming of age in the saddle
Summary: 4 Stars

well made and enjoyable. I have seen this several times and enjoyed it more each time. A diferent twist on "Red River".

DVD Review: cowboy
Summary: 2 Stars

if you want this movie in widescreen watch for it on turner classic
movies and copy it...they show it in widescreen often...the tv cut takes
away about half the scope of the picture....

DVD Review: kinda disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars

This edition of the movie includes a special trailer made with Jack Lemmon. In the trailer Mr. Lemmon describes the film as being in glorious technicolor and broad as the movie screen to capture all the scope of the outdoor locations. But this version is TV "Full Screen" with no widescreen option. And I've looked and can't find this movie in a widescreen format. It's a great western, one I watch over and over, I just wish I could find a version that would let me see the movie as it was intended.

DVD Review: The heart of the classic western
Summary: 4 Stars

The tender-foot who proves he can learn his lessons all too well. It is a classic western story with that quintessential cowboy legend in Glenn Ford juxtaposed against the tender-foot played well by Jack Lemmon. The contrast and comparisons make for an interesting and moral tale of how two very different men learn from each other the lessons of human dignity and respect. Very well played and very entertaining classic western tale.

DVD Review: Ride 'em "Cowboy"!
Summary: 4 Stars

One of the better westerns of the period with the always excellent Glenn Ford and a young and talented Jack Lemmon. Well photographed and tightly edited. I highly recommend this fifties Columbia production.

Description of Cowboy

Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon star in this Western depicting life on the cattle trail.System Requirements:Running Time: 92 Min. Copyright 2002 Columbia TriStar.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?WESTERN/MISC. Rating:?NR UPC:?043396078741 Manufacturer No:?07874
This sturdy Delmer Daves picture--his third with Glenn Ford, following Jubal and 3:10 to Yuma--is one of the most offbeat Westerns ever. And it must be the most writerly, with Frank Harris's memoirs as the source and a picaresque screenplay by Edmund H. North and Dalton Trumbo (a blacklistee, credited only posthumously). There's a pileup of oddities and complications at the outset, with Chicago hotel clerk Harris (Jack Lemmon) already in mid-romance with a daughter of the Mexican aristocracy (Anna Kashfi--Mrs. Marlon Brando at the time), and Texas cattleman Tom Reese (Ford) storming in to commandeer an entire floor of the hotel for him and his drovers so they can party till, well, the cows come home. Partying is curtailed when Reese loses big at cards; Harris bails him out with his savings, and Reese finds he's taken on not only an unwanted partner but a tenderfoot besides. Soon everyone is headed south.

Cowboy merits its bedrock title. This is a rare Western in which the job of breaking horses, trail herding, etc. figures as a dynamic aspect of the storytelling. The film also has a blunt and original way of looking at death, not as a genre convention but as something abrupt, ungainly, and often absurd, in both senses of the word. (This applies equally to men and cattle, by the way.) The camerawork is trim, angular, and somehow precarious, and the jagged editing hustles the very eventful proceedings to a close in barely an hour and a half. Saddle up. --Richard T. Jameson
