Valdez is Coming

OscarĂ‚(r) winner* Burt Lancaster (Birdman of Alcatraz, From Here to Eternity)gives a powerhouse performance as an aging Mexican-American lawman who erupts into a one-man army in this bold saga of retribution and redemption. Valdez Is Coming boldly recreates America's Western frontiera place where life was sometimes cheap...but honor was always priceless. When it comes to keeping the peace, former frontier sheriff Bob Valdez has always been the voice of reason in a sea of chaos. But Frank Tanner (Jon Cypher) is a very different sort of man: greedy, impulsive and rotten to the core. So when Tanner provokes a shootout that results in the death of an innocent man, Valdez orders him to provide financial support for the widow. But when Tanner not only refuses but also laughs in his face, Valdez dusts off his old uniform, straps on his guns and vows toexact justice and vengeance at any cost.  more

Not Lancaster's best!

Really enjoy the old flicks - but this was not Lancaster's best - he shines brightly in many other films.

Valdez is Coming

I would normally give this movie four or five stars. Considering the fact the studio that has released this version cut some major scenes I cannot in good conscience give it that rating. I am not sure why in the world you would cut some of the most exciting scenes and I wonder if in fact MGM is...

A personal revenge that carries suspense, drive and grim realism...,

Valdez is more a symbol of conscience!Burt Lancaster--at that time 57 years old--in fact dominates the film by a mystic presence, rather than actually being on screen for any length of time...The bulk of the film constitutes a battle of wits and guns between Valdez and an extremely stubborn...

No sharps rifle scene

I saw the original as said by reviewer #1, no sharps rifle scene: the best scene in the whole movie. Valdez is pursued by the posse, gains high ground shots his rifle 2x before the posse hears the report (gun shot) visually the shot looked like 1500 yds (1 mile), and the 2 shots scored pay dirt....

Puzzled: until I read the reviews

Watching this, before reading the reviews, I was mystified. The cutting made it seem surreal, and the strange jumps in the storyline were oddly bewildering. The ending didn't help, and I was left feeling baffled, although it was certainly exciting in parts. The motivation of the characters, in...

the price of a mans life for what its worth

A man, Valdez, kills a man in self defense though the man was falsely accused. Guilt, remorse, the only way he can make amends is get some money for the widow from the man he knows to be responsible for this tragedy. Easier said than done, as Valdez is determined to do. Lots of shoot'em up,...
