Leave your thoughts about The Kentuckian.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzBurt Lancaster's only effort as solo director is this slow-moving, flat, so-so western. |
| The New York TimesBosley CrowtherSome outdoor scenes in excellent color and the expanse of CinemaScope give a bit of magnificence to a picture that lacks it in every other way. |
| User ReviewBrendan Wtypical 50s attitudes in this... women beating and dog fighting... |
| User ReviewPaul DFairly ordinary Western and a fairly ordinary performance from Burt Lancaster who may have been distracted trying to direct his first feature. He and Walter Matthau in his first film has a good fight scene towards the end. |
| User ReviewCresswell SMatthau whips Lancaster literally, average western |
| User ReviewZoran SDon't remember it too well, but I liked it quite well from what I remember. |
| User ReviewFrances HIt would make a good slow Sunday afternoon flick, so long as the kid doesn't irritate you too much. It is certainly worth a watch just for a young Walter Matthau whipping Burt Lancaster! |
| User ReviewJames HVery nicely produced, but was not impressed with the attention to the period detail. Well acted, fine story. It's cetainly worth a look, but it's just not very memorable. |
| User ReviewDavid JThe fight scene between Matthau & Lancaster and the scamminng of the River Boat Gamblers aside this has very little else to crow about - perhaps Old Burt had too much on his plate as he also directed this - but ultimately it's a below-par western (of sorts)! |
| User ReviewBrody MIt's worth watching just to see Walter Matthau in his film debut as the mean bartender who's a genius with a bullwhip & the scene where he takes on an unarmed Lancaster was the best part of the movie.Other then that, It was just so so |
