Leave your thoughts about Rawhide.
| User ReviewKevin RI really liked Rawhide. This was on television the other night and the host - Robert Osborne said that for years when it was on tv they called the movie by a different title so people were not confused with the tv show. The child in this movie is adorable. |
| User ReviewZoran SVery solid thriller/ Western. Hathaway does an excellent job of building tension in a limited setting. |
| User ReviewDeke PSusan Hayward & Tyrone Power Had Their Hands Full--Henry Hathaway's "Rawhide" is a classic western!! |
| User ReviewJohn GTyrone Powers and Susan Hayward. Though written by Dudley Nichols this is no "Stagecoach." Powers is too old for his role. Hayward gives one of her typical tougher than steal, hard-boiled performances. Good cast of supporting actors including Edgar Buchanan, Jeff Corey and Dean Jagger. However, the real highlight is Jack Elam's crazed portrayal as one of the escaped convicts. |
| User ReviewIoannis AExtremely well-cast Western thriller showcases the excellent location of the familiar Lone Pine, Ca. Director Henry Hathaway captures little nuances of the various characters and turns up the tension with many scenes including the "help us" note blowing in the wind and sands at various times and later when the baby girl wanders out into the ensuing gunfight. This movie was cast with an eye to unique faces, ranging from the bizarre and unsettling-looking Jack Elam to the fiery beautiful Susan Hayward. A perfect combination of the hostage thriller and the western. Most posters are completely misleading with Ty manhandling Hayward, implying some kind of Lust in the Dust type movie. |
| User ReviewBen RPretty decent Western with many tense scenes and a great cast of (mostly) character actors in plumb parts. Jack Elam is especially effective and disturbingly creepy as one of the main heavies, particularly minus his whiskers and nearly fifty pounds in this early role. The downside is Hugh Marlowe is pretty lifeless as the leader of the outlaws, the musical score too often quotes 'Oh, Susannah' inexplicably, and the sarcastic finale somewhat undermines the proceedings...although referring to The Pony Express as The Jack-Ass Mail is humorous. A word of warning, should you watch this film on DVD, DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER FIRST!!! It flat out shows you the film's climax! Whoever thought THAT was a good idea?! |
| User ReviewNate BUnspectacular but decent western - that has nothing whatsoever in common with the TV series. Jack Elam steals the film as one of the outlaws - with a penchant for the lovely Susan Hayward. |
| User ReviewSalman SSurprisingly still entertaining and fun to watch. A simple Western story, with the basic Western plot. A remake of this movie would be great, and it wouldn't even cost much since it basically employs the Reservoir Dogs idea of a one building set and nothing else. Susan Hayward is great in this film and is Tyrone Power. But of course, the ending is the typical Hollywood happily ever afters, which does make the film lose a little bit of cred. |
| User ReviewRussell GDecent if unspectacular western. Reminded me of The Petrified forest. Jack Elam was great in this as the heel. |
