Leave your thoughts about Wichita.
| New YorkerRichard BrodyDaniel Ullman's script turns backroom political dealings into high drama; Tourneur's poised and lyrical direction elevates it to a sort of secular scripture. |
| User ReviewAshley HWichita is an amazing film. It is about Wyatt Earp who reluctantly accepts the Marshal's job after noticing the total lawlessness in Wichita in 1874. Joel McCrea and Vera Miles give fantastic performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Jacques Tourneur did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure. Wichita is a must see. |
| User ReviewEric RA nice little Wyatt Earp tale reminiscent of the old pulp westerns. Just a man layin down the law. A bit of an anticlimax at the end, but all in all, an enjoyable time. |
| User ReviewAustin VTombstone is the definitive Wyatt Earp film, but this one's no slouch. It's all the better when considering it came from an era of cookie-cutter westerns being churned out left and right. |
| User ReviewAdam DWyatt Earp shows up in Wichita to open shop, but ends up the marshall and cleans up the town instead. Joel McCrea is is usual understated self and does a nice job portraying Earp. Jacques Tourneur directed they film with less style than usual, but the action is still quite good, as is the cast, which more than makes up for the fairly routine story. Vera Miles, Lloyd Bridges, Wallace Ford, Peter Graves, Edgar Buchanan and Jack Elam also appear in the film. |
| User ReviewArt SWhen Joel McCrea's Wyatt Earp decides to ban all guns from Wichita after the accidental shooting of a 5-year old boy, the resonances with current events in the USA were impossible to ignore. But, despite the ban, the gun-toting ruffians kept on coming, gunning for Earp because they couldn't stand being controlled. Moreover, the town's self-appointed chamber of commerce also thinks guns are good for business and that a little violence is a necessary side effect of a healthy economy. Another random shooting, a contract for murder, and some shootings in the street (often by Earp, prosecuting the law his own way) are necessary before the town begins to feel that law and order are the way to go. How many more deaths will it take in the US before guns get banned? True, we might not be able to trust some of those allowed to carry guns (such as Earp - although McCrea plays him as squeaky clean, if a little too ready to back up his words with bullets) but the alternative seems to be gunfights in schools, movie theatres, colleges, and every other damn public place. In Cinemascope with excellent direction by Jacques Tourneur. |
| User Reviewjay nTourneur has a great way of undercutting expectations at every turn. The central conflict is a pretty straightforward one between law/order and profit, but the "villains" here are giving much greater humanity, or at least clearly defined motives and morality than that of the three Ford westerns I've seen so far. Also different from Ford, Tourneur takes a civilized, anti-gunslinger, anti-violence-to- problem-solving stance, which is reinforced by the unglamorous way Tourneur shoots the action scenes. Too bad Tourneur wasn't able to anything interesting with the cliche romantic subplot. |
| User ReviewStella Dbit of a run on westerns here. this lean and mean tourneur outing is the most badass i've ever seen from joel mccrea, playing wyatt earp (!) in no way historically accurate but who cares. tourneur's westerns are always a bit more complex than your average oater, see also 'canyon passage' and 'stranger on horseback'. gallop-by shootings and theme song by tex ritter |
| User ReviewMike BJacques Tourneur's western, starring Joel McCrea, Vera Miles, Peter Graves, Jack Elam, Lloyd Bridges and others. Wyatt Earp doesn't want to be marshall, but doggone it, the town needs him. The cinemascope frame is often filled with dozens of background players. Good stuff. |
| User ReviewJohn R131019: Everybody was just a little too serious in this film. Felt no love. |
