The Last Frontier

O Tirano da Fronteira estreava há 65 anos em New York. Depois de todas aquelas obras-primas com o Stewart você espera mais de um western do Mann, apesar de ser um exemplar do gênero passável, está anos luz de distância de seus filmes anteriores e minha antipatia pelo Mature não ajuda. Plus: Baby face Bancroft. Box Versátil Cinema Faroeste Volume 8.

Starts out pretty interesting, story-wise. Then loses its bearings at some point.

It's a movie with a message about what makes a man civilized. Unfortunately, it's as ridiculous as a younger Jame Whitmore playing a father figure to an older Victor Mature.

A real stereotype of a western, soldiers holed up in a wooden fort that not by any stretch of the imagination could support such a community, with a few token women, a couple of frontiersmen and whooping Indians outside. Easy enough watching.

One of Mann's least impressive westerns, finely photographed and well written but lacking the grit of his classics. Whitmore is awesome, and Victor Mature does fine but with his long hair he looks too much like Chico Marx to take seriously.

Surprisingly effective frontier saga featuring Victor Mature and Guy Madison.
