VHS Movie Reviews of Rawhide (1950) [VHS]

Movie Review: An Absolute Classic Western
Summary: 5 Stars

Rawhide deserves not only a DVD release, but recognition as one of the greatest Westerns ever. Taut, masterful direction by the great Henry Hathaway, and excellent perfomances by everyone makes this a must have film for anyone who loves the Western genre.

Tyrone Power and Susan Hayward are trapped at a stage way station by a gang of desperate criminals. Surprises and tragedy unfold as Power, Hayward, and Hayward's baby try to survive and outwit the criminals.

There are scenes in this film that are so tense that even today's hardened, jaded moviegoers will appreciate. This was not a film with larger than life heroes or cardboard cutout villains, but real people well portrayed with great lines from a magnificent script.

This movie should be released on DVD immediately.

Movie Review: Locked up with Susan Hayward...that's an ordeal???
Summary: 5 Stars

A little-known western, and even under-rated by those who DO know it, "Rawhide" is a nail-biter from start to finish, an ultra-taut suspense film that really only happens to take place in the wild west but could take place anywhere, anytime. Literally in the middle of nowhere, an outpost for east- or westbound stagecoaches to stop and let passengers stretch and have a bite to eat becomes the scene of a life-or-death struggle between four desperate prison escapees and two strangers, one of them with a baby to look after.
Tyrone Power is an employee of the outpost, learning the ropes from old-timer Edgar Buchanan. A stagecoach comes through and two of the passengers, a young woman (Susan Hayward) and a toddler, are forced to stay because four men have escaped from a nearby prison and the stagecoach line isn't allowed to risk the lives of females or children on the road. Unfortunately their lives are at much greater risk here, as the convicts promptly ride up and seize the outpost, intending to hijack a shipment of gold coming through the next day. Buchanan is murdered outright by the gang's resident psychotic (played with fantastic gusto by perennial bad guy Jack Elam), leaving Power and Hayward to try and figure out a way to escape before the hammer falls on them, too. Hugh Marlowe, fresh from his brilliant turn as a playwright in "All About Eve", plays the leader of the outlaws with an intelligent menace, trying to hold his gang together while plotting the next move. During all this, the hostages naturally find time to fall in love. Susan Hayward has never been more beautiful than she is here, so it's not hard to see why.
A great little western, hard to find but well worth the search, with excellent performances all around, from one of the masters of trim-the-fat suspense yarns, Henry Hathaway.

Summary of Rawhide (1950) [VHS]

Rawhide (no relation to the TV series) is a trim, satisfying Henry Hathaway picture that blends the leathery trappings of the Western with the claustrophobic atmosphere and intensity of a suspense film. Everything unfolds at a remote swing station for the transcontinental stagecoach. Routine life and work is disrupted by the arrival of several no-goods who aim to help themselves to a gold shipment. But the gold shipment isn't on the next coach, so the stationmasters and some stranded passengers are obliged to try to act normal under the guns of the intruders. Tyrone Power and Susan Hayward handle the heroics without larger-than-life posturing; Dean Jagger and Hugh Marlowe relish the rare opportunity to play villainous or ambiguous types; and Jack Elam is, well, Jack Elam, reliably vicious in every pore. The script is by Dudley Nichols--who should know the territory, having scripted John Ford's Stagecoach 13 years earlier. --Richard T. Jameson
