VHS Movie Reviews of Adventurers (2pc) [VHS]
Movie Review: Well worth a look
Summary: 4 Stars
Saw this when I was seventeen. Was a real eye opener. Just watched it again. Was excited by the fact that after a few minutes into it realised that this was a well directed film, with great photography and editing. Lotsa money was thrown at this production. Real locations...Columbia, Rome, New York. Lotsa good actors. Even the unknown lead does a good job. Some, for the time, over the top sex and violence. The soundtrack was a real find: Antonio Carlos Jobin and Deodato. Two first class Brazilian composer's at the top of their game. The story is basically exploitive trash...but it is presented in such a most professional and engaging way that you can't help but be sucked in. There is also an underlying soul to the tale that makes it rise above itself.
Summary of Adventurers (2pc) [VHS]
Despite the tumultuous events in this sleek, handsome 1970 adaptation of Harold Robbins' bestselling novel, The Adventurers is arresting entertainment from the constantly inventive director of the original Alfie, Lewis Gilbert. Smoldering Yugoslavian actor Bekim Fehmiu stars as Dax Xenos, son of a revolutionary hero in an unnamed South American nation. As a child (played by Loris Loddi), Dax witnessed the murder of his mother and sisters by government goons, and he helped insurgent leader Rojo (Alan Badel) execute those responsible. As Dax grows up, his destiny is inexorably tied to the fate of his country and the whims of an increasingly despotic Rojo. But before he realizes that, the hunky gadabout chases women and races in the streets of Rome, spends some time as a gigolo (romancing a wealthy, heartbreakingly sympathetic Olivia de Havilland), marries and separates from a lovely heiress (Candice Bergen), and becomes a pawn in a terrible plot by Rojo to consolidate his power. The outstanding cast in this nearly three-hour film includes Fernando Rey, Charles Aznavour, Leigh Taylor-Young, and Ernest Borgnine. Gilbert's production is endlessly imaginative and exciting. Long before crowd scenes in movies could be computer-generated, directors such as Gilbert really did have to assemble thousands of extras for moments as spectacular as the battle sequences in The Adventurers. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure VHS Video
