Six Black Horses

One of the very first films I saw that starred Audie Murphy, also starred Dan Duryea, and if truth be told, Duryea stole the spotlight from the war hero with a truly charismatic performance where his talent shone brightly. Jesse Hibbs' Ride Clear of Diablo was a great…

Tough action, beautiful cinematography, and poignant. It's kind of desolate but beautiful, great story, excellent establishment of a mood, Dan Duryea was a national treasure, and Audie Murphy exuded sincerity. The contrast between them, Duryea kind of transactional and…

Somehere between the Scott/Boetticher westerns and The Shooting. Very good Burt Kennedy script. Very discursive low on action but full of rich detail and the Murphy/Dureya partnership has a rough lived-in quality very few westerns duo have, they have just the right mixture…

This Audie Murphy Western has some ruggedly attractive scenery (around St. George, Utah) and a pretty good performance by Murphy to recommend it. The screenplay is by Burt Kennedy, who wrote quite similar screenplays for the marvelous collaboration between Randolph Scott…

Well, I've decided to persevere with Audie Murphy and try a couple more of his films out and not just because they're on my TiVo box and I need to make room, honest. And with Six Black Horses, it actually paid off. Harry Keller did a lot of low-key westerns like this, a…

A surprise treat that punches well above its weight which is why I am giving this 3 star movie 4 stars. What I expected to be a standard Audie Murphy oater turned out to be an exceptional Western. This is due to two things. First, a tight script penned by Burt Kennedy.…

[...] Sechs schwarze Pferde punktet letztendlich mit Westernmusik und einem entsprechenden Gefühl, welches dieses Genre in einem hervorrufen soll. Die Landschaften und Kostüme tragen ihr Übriges dazu bei. Doch unter dem Strich ist Sechs schwarze Pferde kein guter Film und…
