| User ReviewGary DA formulaic but worthy western based on the Will Henry western. This is the type of movie that swallows the viewer with its sheer spectacle...pretty good cast too. A great western adventure |
| User ReviewMohanraj NMackenna's Gold is a 1969 western film directed by J. Lee Thompson, starring Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif, Telly Savalas, Camilla Sparv and Julie Newmar. It tells the story of how the lure of gold corrupts a diverse group of people. The film was photographed in Super Panavision 70 by Joseph MacDonald, with original music by Quincy Jones. The story is very loosely based around the legend of the Lost Adams Diggings. |
| User ReviewElla HIn my Top Ten Westerns. I OWN This one. Very under-rated. Brilliant cast with visual panoramic brilliance as well. Some scenes that are necessary to the plot in this movie remain unmatched in their visual story telling genius. Anyone that loves the story telling nature of The Western will need to add this to their portfolio and deal with the rambling as one reviewer claims! I did not find it rambling, simply building up credibility for the sudden impact of the ending. Again visual genius attributed to natural occurances give me some of my most memorable movie images held in my mind's eye for all-time. Controversial nude scenes brought many of my male friends to the theatre with me to see this in more than one sitting. I love the music as well...Nothing like sixties and 80's movies for their identifying themes. Other than A Knights Tale! |
| User ReviewAndrew WA great entertainer. An all time 70 mm stereophonic sound blockbuster of the good old Westerns |
