VHS Movie Reviews of Big Sky [VHS]
Movie Review: Teal Eyes-- What Kirk's fightin' fur
Summary: 4 Stars
In Howard Hawks's THE BIG SKY, Kirk Douglas is a frontiersman who accompanies a group of fur traders up the Missouri River. At the end of their journey lies a large haul of valuable pelts. Along the way however the men encounter many hazards, not the least of which is a band of river pirates led by the ruthless Louis MacMasters (Frees) and his cohort, 'Streak' (Baer).
In 1832, Jim Deakins (Douglas) meets and becomes friends with Boone Claudel (Martin), who's on the run after being falsely accused of a crime. The two get into a bit of trouble and once they're released from jail Deakins and Claudel decide to go on the fur trading mission. The company sets out for Blackfoot territory along with tribal princess Teal Eyes (Threatt)-- her presence is supposed to assure everyone's safety according to the expedition's leader, riverboat captain 'Frenchy' Jourdonnais (Geray).
After surviving river rapids and Indian raids, the encamped traders are attacked by confederates of MacMasters and Teal Eyes is abducted. Next, their boat is set on fire; two of its saboteurs are captured and confess to the girl's whereabouts. Now that he knows who is holding the princess, Deakins has to find a way to free her.
As of 2/09, "The Big Sky" was not available on a Region 1 DVD.
