VHS Movie Reviews of Monte Walsh

Movie Review: Second Rate VHS
Summary: 3 Stars

The tape I received was a disappointment. The movie, Monte Walsh was shot in Panivision and I assumed would be done so on the tape. Not true. The tape is blurry and the sound seems to have been restained. I taped this movie sometime ago from TV and after viewing the "New Tape" found the tape I recorded much better. In the introduction for instance I can read Momma Cass in full. On the new tape one of the s's is left off. The technical info from Amazon or Inetvideo is non-existent. What gives?

Movie Review: Monte Walsh
Summary: 5 Stars

I rank it as one of the all-time best movies ever made--- for those who love the American West and that way of life. If you like "Shane", Jerm. Johnson, and similar--- you will like this movie. Mama Cass's rendition of "The Good Times are Coming" is perfect. It has been 30 yrs-- and I still love the atmosphere and story of this GEM!

Movie Review: realistic

a time gone by, never again to be. entertaining and thought provoking

Movie Review: Most genuinely honest film ever made about the Cowboy.
Summary: 5 Stars

This film captures as no other the lives of the American Cowboy. What is felt most poignantly are the relationships among the men who punch cattle. The film conveys all the facets of life, both physical and emotional. No other film exhibits the profound attachments and respect felt by the men for their horses and the environment in which they lived and which was their livelihood. The Comeraderie and competition which were part of their daily existence was so accurately portrayed that one can't help feeling sad that a way of life which expesses this kind of freedom has passed from the scene. The tenderness of the relationship between Jeanne Moreau and Lee Marvin is so real and yet so subtley played by both that one has to marvel at the direction of this movie. No other movie conveys the feelings this one does. The cold, the loneliness, the uncertainty, the sad knowing that it is all over for the cowboy,that his era has ended. Momma Cass's voice as the continuo for the film was a stoke of genius. Her melancholy "There Are good Times Coming" is an untruth which we all know .The characters know also but their refusal to acknowledge makes us empathize and we like them more for not giving in. Their time on the scene was short only about twenty years but the spirit they conveyed is still part of the American psyche. I rank it number one in all the westerns ever made.
