VHS Movie Reviews of Soldier of Fortune (1955) [VHS]
Movie Review: One of my all time favorites
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in terms of cinematography. Hong Kong was colorful and facinating, a world that doesn't exist 60 years later. I would gladly trade my old VHS for a fresh remastered DVD. The plot has been covered several times so I'd just like to mention a few individual scenes that stand out. Susan and Clark standing on the balcony with the wind whipping at them watching the typhoon blow in across the harbor. The old bartender and aging harlot marrying in the bar because "its not good to be alone when you're old" Hundreds of sampans sailing to the rescue like the US Cavalry. And of course I did mention Clark and Susan?Movie Review: Tired melodrama
Summary: 2 Stars
Jane Hoyt (Susan Hayward), a self-sacrificing, loyal wife, enlists the aid of Hank Lee (Clark Gable), a roguish gambler with a heart of gold, to find and rescue her missing husband from Communist China. Filled with stock characters (ie, the policeman who secretly admires the dashing criminal and helps him in the end, the comical drunken sailors who hate "dames") and stock situations (passions flare during a big storm). There is some nice photography, but it couldn't hold my interest.Movie Review: Why no DVD?
Summary: 5 Stars
Terrific score and Hong Hong scenery for this action film. All the dreck's on DVD, why not this excellent movie?Movie Review: YOU ARE IN GOOD HAND'S, WITH THE KING.
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS MOVIE'S PHOTOGRAPHY (HONG KONG, THE HARBOR, THE OCEAN, AND CLOSE UPS)WAS CUTTING EDGE IN 1955, AND IS STILL BREATHTAKING TODAY (WITH A GOOD VHS/TV). CLARK GABLE GIVES A GREAT PERFORMANCE AS A MAN'S MAN, READY TO HELP THE GREAT LOOKING (SUSAN HAYWARD), A STRONG LADY, SLOWLY WEAKENING TO "THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE", BUT STILL HOLDING TRUE TO HER MISSING/PRISONER (GENE BARRY)HUSBAND. MICHAEL RENNIE PLAYS THE GOOD COP, WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE, AND THE REST OF THE CAST ARE EVIL, HUMOROUS, LOYAL, AND ENTERTAINING, IN THIS IS, A GREAT 1950'S, COLOR MOVIE.Movie Review: Hong Kong in 1955
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie has beautiful scenery! It's worth seeing for that alone.
