Movie Reviews

DVDTalk.com - 8/10 by David CorneliusIt's an enjoyable kind of simple, briskly directed with several thrilling action set pieces.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzFlatly tells the familiar tale about two brothers, one bad, one good.
User Review - 10/10 by Eliza DTwo honest to God war heroes in the same western? Who could ask for more?
User Review - 10/10 by Ben Sexcellent western, has Stewart trying to help/stop his kid brothers gang
User Review - 10/10 by Private UHighly underrated western, partially because anthony mann, the original director, dropped out early on due to conflicts with Jimmy Stewart's character in the movie. Though probably not what Mann had originally envisioned, what did get made was a great western. Stewart does a great job as usual as the lanky hero, pulling out his accordion on many occasions. The is partly why some people didn't like; they thought it was a Stewart music piece. However the accordion plays a vital role in the move in contrasting his past to his present and his relationship with his younger brother. Which leads to Audie Murphy who stands out as the second-fiddle bad guy and main adversary to Stewart. The real scene stealer is the cinematography; the scenery is top notch, the train scenes are classic, and the final shootout in a ghost town is an added touch.
User Review - 10/10 by Patti WI am a Western buff, I love James Stewart
User Review - 10/10 by raven [Hearing James Stewart play the accordion and sing is probably not the most pleasant part of this film. Great actor, bad singer. World War II Congressional Medal of Honor winner Audie Murphy, not usually recognized as top acting talent, turns in the best performance in this film and he and Stewart are surrounded by cast of great character actors. [i]Night Passage[/i] was the first U.S. film produced in Technirama, superior large format wide screen system developed by Technicolor, Inc., and the photography is extremely good. Worth a look.
User Review - 8/10 by Kevin RSame old story of good and evil. A down on his luck railroad man is hired to help transport a payroll into a desperate town to pay the workers. A group of outlaws, that are tied to the railroad man, discover the transport is going to occur and try and rob the train. The railroad man hides the money well, but it frustrates the outlaws and they kidnap a woman the railroad man cares about during the heist attempt. The railroad man will need to try to find a way to both protect the funds and rescue the girl. "You wouldn't know how to shoot a man in the back." "I'll learn." James Neilson, director of Gentle Giant, Flare Up, Where Angels Go Trouble Follows, Return of the Gun Fighter, Summer Magic, Moon Pilot, and For the Defense, delivers Night Passage. The storyline for this picture is very well told. There are some cliché elements, but the dynamics between characters is very good and the acting is excellent. The cast includes James Stewart, Elaine Stewart, Jack Elam, Audie Murphy, and Paul Fix. "See what happens when you don't carry your brains in your feet?" I came across this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and had to DVR this western classic. I am a huge James Stewart fan and he was a perfect blend of grit, tough, and honest in this picture (perfect for his presence). This is a nice addition to the western genre that may not be an all-time classic but is definitely worth a viewing. "He's not bad. He's just a fool." Grade: B
User Review - 6/10 by jay nVery simple and familiar James Stewart western.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA slightly generic plot for a western, but with some good scenery along the way and some heavy weight actors for this genre make it worthwhile.
