Full Plot Details

In Argentina, family man Julio Madariaga (Lee J. Cobb) is the patriarch of his family and considers his farm paradise on Earth. One of his daughters, Dona Luisa Desnoyers (Harriet E. MacGibbon), has married French immigrant Marcelo Desnoyers (Charles Boyer) and they have one son, the playboy Julio (Glenn Ford), and one daughter, the gorgeous student of Sorbonne Chi Chi (Yvette Mimieux). His other daughter, Elena von Hartrott (Kathryn Givney), has married German Karl von Hartrott (Paul Lukas), and they have three sons: Heinrich (Karlheinz Böhm), Gustav (Brian Avery), and Franz (Richard Franchot). In 1938, Heinrich returns from Germany for a family reunion and when he tells that he has joined the S.S., the displeased Julio Madariaga has a heart attack and dies. When France is occupied by the Germans, the family reunites in Paris, and Franz is the Nazi administrator in France. The alienated Julio has a studio where he paints, and has a love affair with Marguerite Laurier (Ingrid Thulin), the wife of newspaper owner Etienne Laurier (Paul Henreid), who is fighting in Belgium. Meanwhile, Chi Chi joins the French resistance and is arrested. Julio uses the influence of his cousin Franz to release her. However, Chi Chi has an argument with Julio for his neutral position. When Chi Chi is tortured to death by the Gestapo, Julio joins the resistance, using his relationship with the Germans to get inside information.

EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyInferior to the silent Valentino version, Minnelli's epic is stale and verbose, failing to ground its protgaonists and their opposing views in any recognizable or engaging political context.
User Review - 8/10 by Michel GExtraordinary movie that seems to be totally forgotten. Probably because it may tend to be a little bit old-fashioned today. But what an epic. Maybe I found it so magnificent because we know, in Lebanon, what it means when two brothers fight each other for political reasons. It echoes what Marco says at the end of Kusturica's "Underground": A war is not really a war unless a brother kills his brother. And Glenn Ford is great in the role of a man torn between being neutral and joining the French resistance...
User Review - 8/10 by Ashley Hvincente minnelli is one of the great directors of classic hollywood that seems to be washed away by time. a few of his musicals and comedies might have survived, but i cannot imagine why THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE, arguably one of his greatest achievements, isn't ranked among the classics of the hollywood war epic. a little kitschy at times, this is nevertheless a fabulous piece of larger-than-life melodrama, and a true work of art.

User Review - 6/10 by Julien GLe titre est trompeur, la surprise n'en est que meilleure. Un bon mélodrame.
User Review - 6/10 by Morris NWell made and well acted. I wasn't crazy about the story.
User Review - 4/10 by Phyllis SOverlong, confused remake. The real handicap is the ridiculous casting of Glenn Ford as the Argentinian lead that Rudolph Valentino played in the original. Thulin's dialogue was dubbed by Angela Lansbury in its entirety leading to even more of a disconnect.
User Review - 4/10 by The Movie WMinnelli's only entry in the war movie genre gets off to a cracking start. A heavily made up Cobb, the head of a rich Franco-German expat family in Argentina, suffers a fatal stroke upon learning his Grandson Boehm has joined the Nazis. A raging storm hits and the ghostly figures of the mythical title quartet appear in the heavens above. After this opening, of a melodramatic nature even Oliver Stone would consider over the top, the movie slows down and develops into a second rate war drama. The forty-six year old all American Ford is terribly miscast as a young Argentine spin on the Bel Ami archetype. I've never seen the appeal of Ford, to me he suffers from a serious lack of charisma. I just can't buy him as the charming lover type. Minnelli wanted Alain Delon for the role but unfortunately had Ford forced upon him by the studio. Coupled with an equally bland actress, Thulin (who was dubbed by Angela Lansbury due to her impenetrable Swedish accent), it's difficult to engage in their plight. Neither are particularly likable, basically just a pair of rich brats, whereas Thulin's husband, Henreid is portrayed as the noble soldier. If your leading characters are engaging in morally dubious activities you really need to cast charismatic performers to get the audience on their side. Visually it's splendid, great widescreen compositions and the usual Minnelli flair for colour. This is a remake of a Rudolph Valentino starring silent film and Minnelli borrows some techniques that were long out of favor by 1962. The surreal imagery of the horsemen was all too common in the silent era but is unusually striking in a sixties Hollywood movie. A major flop for MGM, this would be the last time Minnelli was given such a broad canvas. It's said his confidence was shattered by the experience and so he disappeared from the limelight immediately after, working only sporadically and with little acclaim.
