Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Bosley CrowtherFor seventy-odd minutes, in this scorcher from Twentieth Century-Fox, the guns blaze, fists fly and passions tangle in the best realistic Western style.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonTakes some unusual detours that allow it to stand out from the pack.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis superior western is marked by an outstanding performance by Gregory Peck.
User Review - 10/10 by rebecca gThe Best Movie Ever, many people find flaws in it but I really think its a great movie. I adored all the actors preformances, especially Gregory Pecks and Richard Widmark. Its my fav movie as of now :) watched it twice in the same day, its not too long and its amazing
User Review - 10/10 by Vic VThe quintessential classic western that includes every myth of the old west - the gold rush, ghost towns, outlaws, greed, loyalty, betrayal, Apaches, love and redemption. It keeps moving at a thriller's pace with great performances by bad guy Widmark and bad-guy-turned-good guy. Peck. The best allusion: greed for gold (riches) ruins every man it touches.
User Review - 10/10 by John AThis is an outstanding western noir, with a wonderful cast (Gregory Peck, Anne Baxter, Richard Widmark) and gorgeous direction. It's one of the many westerns shot in the Alabama Hills near Lone Pine, California; and Wellman uses the gorgeous scenery masterfully. The extended sequence in the beginning on the salt flats is unbelievable. In contrast to the beautiful scenery, 'Yellow Sky' is a dark and gritty film. I haven't seen many westerns that felt this agonizingly realistic. And I mean that in the best way possible. The scorching sun, the dirt, the grime, and the sweet serenity that is fresh water. This is a vicious, and cold-hearted film. Some of the violence, and behavior of some of the characters made me feel uneasy, and that is saying something. The brutal honesty in the way the film portrays the the gang is wonderful. Some might have a problem with the way this story wraps up, as it's a departure from the darkness that shrouds the rest of the film. I loved the whole film, even though the ending feels like something the studio might have tacked on. It works well. Overall, this is one of my favorite westerns from the 40's, and a new overall favorite as well.
User Review - 10/10 by james nlike this movie alot but havent seen it in years
User Review - 10/10 by Bruce BWOW! Why do people not mention this western more often?! THis is an AMAZING hidden gem of a film. Starring Gregory Peck who is amazing as the gruff bank robber who slowly comes around to the better side (in a very real and not cheap old Hollywood way). Anne Baxter really surprises as the tough-as-nails western woman who takes crap from NO ONE. In a genre that is never usually very good to us ladies it is amazing to watch a woman in a western that isn't a whore, who doesn't need rescuing (and actually gets to help the hero out of the jam) and carries a shot gun and has an itchy finger on the trigger. Baxter plays her role with such contempt and strength- I can't give her anymore praise for what is such a different role for this genre and time. I can hardly believe this came out in '48. It feels more like the revisionist and darker westerns of the 70's but at the same time takes a few healthy shots of noir from the era.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew IOne of the essential Westerns. Visually stunning and perfectly paced.
User Review - 8/10 by Jayesh NUnorthodox lighting, a great ensemble cast and the novelty of the salt flats make this a Western worth searching for.
