VHS Movie Reviews of Station West/Colorized
Movie Review: PLEASE! NOT in color.
Summary: 1 Stars
Full Disclosure: This reviewer was quite disturbed from the very outset at the colorization of "Station West" and believes that films shot in black and white should stay that way! Color/no color aside, SW simply did not work. This is the story: Dick Powell rides into town with an overtly tough guy mien. It develops that he is an undercover Army officer investigating a stagecoach stickup that killed two soldiers. Wouldn't that attitude blow his cover? Due to the robbery, gold is piling up at the local Army post and Wells Fargo will not transport it. All the elements of a solid plot and good action movie are there. Yet, SW falls flat. Much of the action is poorly staged; viewers can plainly notice punches being pulled in brawls. The "tough guys" DP must contend with appear as cream puffs. Perhaps the color makes them appear older and less foreboding than in b&w. Even such a reliable early `50s black hat as Raymond Burr fails to impress. The main bad guy is actually a girl, but the otherwise talented Jane Greer also does not register. The resolution simply challenges credibility. The bottom line is that "Station West" is a huge disappointment. It represents neither the West nor Dick Powell at their best. Perhaps Powell belongs in a suit as in "Pitfall" or "Murder My Sweet". Fuller disclosure: This reviewer requested SW as a Christmas present; it was duly delivered under the tree but his non-movie fan wife doesn't know her color from b&w, and her husband failed to specify. Those buying on their own should SPECIFY! A final thought: Would we encourage attempts to colorize classics as "Psycho", "Casablanca", or "The Third Man"? The same sentiments should prevail about "Station West".
