| Parallax ViewSean Axmaker... ne of the toughest, most tension-filled pictures from Andre de Toth, a studio filmmaker who could be counted on to bring a savage edge to his assignments. |
| User ReviewZoran SA masterful Western from the great Andre De Toth. The stunning Winter photography has more in common with later Theo Angelopoulos films than with Westerns from the 50's. The staging and camera movements are all superb and the anti-violence message never seems heavy-handed. A masterpiece. |
| User ReviewStella Dmagnificent western! especially the last half hour. guess i'm in the mood for these snow bound landscapes lately. pity those poor horses. robert ryan gets a chance to really shine here. burl ives is terrific as the outlaws' leader |
| User ReviewHaytham KA unique and well-crafted Western. Burl Ives proves once again how great a character actor he was, his performance here is first-rate. |
| User ReviewMickey BI sometimes forget how good Robert Ryan was. This is an intriguing little western, with a dynamite set-up and a great speech by Ryan early in the film. Unfortunately it doesn't keep the momentum that the story gives it early, but it's still a heck of a film. And, Ginger from Gilligan's Island is in it. HOT! |
| User ReviewAllan CRobert Ryan being badass as always and he doesn't even fire his gun. |
| User ReviewJohn RThursday, November 28., 2013 (1959) Day Of The Outlaw WESTERN Made like an Anthony Mann Western even though it's story is adapted from a novel written by Lee E. Wells, it stars Robert Ryan as outlaw and rancher, Blaise Starrett feuding with some farming settlers regarding some wire and a former flame. Just when he's about to square things up with them, 7 wanted rustlers on the run, headed by ex cavalry captain, Jack Bruhn (Burl Ives) take the entire small town about 20 residents hostage since the US cavalry are coming after them for some stolen gold. Tensions run rather high when some of the rustlers are ordered to stay away from the liquor. All this amounts to is a satisfying conclusion. 3 out of 4 stars |
| User ReviewEric RSturdy if underwhelming western about a town taken over by a band of deserters. |
| User ReviewGreg WRobert Ryan and Burl Ives are outstanding in this bleak, austere, frigid western--Snowy western melodrama!! |
| User ReviewAntti KA western in a different landscape. Instead of dry desert vistas the scenery is covered knee-deep in snow. Actually a bit boring but the grueling last third of the story makes it worth watching. |
