Brando in Fury-And in a Furie.

Great Brando and from the director of 'The Ipcress file'. Thus more than the necessary 'Close ups' that we like so much.
Why don't they make these movies anymore???

A STORY OF HATS

1966. An American spaghetti western directed by a Canadian director. Remember the arm wrestling between Marlon Brando and John Saxon with two scorpions as spectators ? It was in THE APPALOOSA. You can now find a superb zone 2 DVD of this movie, in a pristine copy, at Amazon.fr.

Not sure how to feel about this one

As much as I'd love to love this film,it didn't really do it for me. Although I did love Brando's performance in this movie as a weary run-down man ready to start a new life, but disrupted by thieves who steal his prized appaloosa. And although the movie is beautifully shot, there are some funky camera angles and close-ups that could have been done away with. The story is short and very simplistic, which is not a big problem, but it could have had a little more meat to it. Like for example, the ending shoot-out scene. Brando's character fires a line of shots and the main antagonist is killed, just like that, so simple, no real tension build up, no long series of shots fired back and forth just a few shots and that was that. I was left sitting there saying, "Is that it?" I guess I can say I liked the film a liitle bit, but didn't love it. If you must see this film by all means rent it from the library or video store, or catch it on AMC. But if you just can't resist, then order it used and as cheaply as possible...sorry

Nice Appaloosa, good actors, slow plotting

Matt Fletcher (Marlon Brando), is a tight-lipped loner who returns from the Civil War to his surrogate family in the border town of Ojo Prieto to settle down. When Matt's prize Appaloosa stallion (played by Cojo Rojo) is stolen by bad banditos and spirited away to Mexico, he goes after them with a vengeance. Somewhat slow, and the title character isn't in the movie all that much.

Did You Catch Those Pearly Whites?

I watched "The Appaloosa" the other day because I think Marlon Brando was an outstanding actors (who, alas, did not always pick the right roles). I was sure that I'd never seen this movie before until about two thirds of the way through. There was a scene that gave us a look at a unique form of armwrestling. I realized that I had seen that before but I didn't recall any of the rest of the movie. Frankly, that's not surprizing give the way this movie drags on as long as it does. However, I did notice something that intrigued me. This movie has a lot of facial closeups and I couldn't help but notice what excellent teeth everyone has. I mean, teeth this clean, white and perfect had to have cost thousands of dollars. It wasn't just John Saxon either. Everyone has perfect teeth! All this in a remote desert bordertown in 1870. You might think I'm overdoing this but "The Appaloosa" left me just bored enough to look for something to take interest in.
