- Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by
several other hands, The Ten Commandments as the last film directed
by Cecil B. DeMille. The story relates the life of Moses, from
the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by
the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the
Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. Moses
(Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's
adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such
construction-site advice as "Blood makes poor mortar"),
but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to
make life easier for his people. Banished by his jealous half-brother
Rameses (Yul Brynner), Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's
court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the
Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know
what's good for them. Only after the Seven Deadly Plagues have
decimated Egypt does Rameses give in. As the Hebrews reach the
Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word
and plans to have them all killed. But Moses rescues his people
with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. Later,
Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. Sinai, who delivers unto
him the Ten Commandments. Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the
duplicitous Dathan (Edward G. Robinson), are forgetting their
religion and behaving like libertines. "Where's your Moses
now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a Lower East Side gangster.
He soon finds out. A remake of his 1923 silent film, DeMille's
The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated
entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity
and vitality that few Biblical scholars have ever been able to
duplicate. It is very likely the most eventful 219 minutes ever
recorded to film--and who's to say that Nefertiri (Anne Baxter)
didn't make speeches like, "Oh, Moses, Moses, you splendid,
stubborn, adorable fool"? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- TV series "Cheyenne"
-
- In 1955, Warner Bros. entered the TV production field with
the weekly Warner Bros. Presents. The program consisted of three
rotating, each based on a Warners feature film of the 1940s.
While King's Row and Casablanca fell by the wayside, the third
component, Cheyenne, had "legs", lasting until 1963.
Clint Walker starred as Cheyenne Bodie, a wandering dogooder
at large in the Old West. During a 1958 contract dispute, Walker
was spelled by two new characters, "Sugarfoot" (Will
Hutchins) and "Bronco" (Ty Hardin), both of whom were
spun off into their own series when Walker returned to the Warners
fold in 1959. In the early 1990s, two 60-minute Cheyenne episodes
were released on video: "White Warrior" and "The
Iron Trail", respectively featuring stars-in-the-making
Michael Landon and Dennis Hopper. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- In this western, an accused killer is able to escape lynchers
by trading coats with a dead man he found lying beside the road
with an arrow in his back. He soon happens upon a farm. As the
farm is under Comanche attack when he arrives, the man immediately
saves the life of a woman and her son. He then takes the pair
to Fort Dobbs. En route the woman realizes that the coat her
hero is wearing belonged to her husband. Thinking the arrow hole
in the back was caused by a bullet, the woman immediately accuses
the hero of murdering her man. They arrive at the fort only to
find it busily preparing for another Comanche raid. The clever
hero devises an ingenious plan to defend them using the fifteen-shot
repeating rifles brought by a gun trader. His ploy works. The
Commandoes are thwarted, his innocence is proven, and the young
mother's good name is preserved. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie

- Cast: Clint Walker, Roger Moore, Leticia Roman, Robert Middleton,
Chill Wills, Gene Evans
- Director: Gordon M. Douglas
- Categories: Adventure, Western
- Running Time: 88 minutes
-
- Director Gordon M. Douglas specializes in comedy and action
films, and here he puts the two genres together for a generally
successful, well-acted chase drama. Two partners, Jim (Clint
Walker) and Shawn (Roger Moore) have had the good fortune to
find a gold fortune, but just after their strike, they end up
in serious trouble. Word of their newfound status gets out to
the wrong people, and before they have any time to cash in their
chips and retire, they are running like the wind from a variety
of money-grubbing marauders whose only goal in life is to return
Jim and Shawn to their original impoverished state. As the chase
heads toward a climactic moment, everything builds up to a convenient,
if unconvincing conclusion. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

- Send Me No Flowers
- Release Year: 1964
- Cast: Rock Hudson, Doris Day, Tony Randall, Paul Lynde, Hal
March, Edward Andrews, Clint Walker
- Director: Norman Jewison
- Categories: Comedy
- Running Time: 100 minutes
-
- Light and laugh-filled, Send Me No Flowers is typical Rock
Hudson and Doris Day fare. George (Hudson) is a hypochondriac
married to Judy (Day) in this marital comedy. When George goes
to visit the doctor, he overhears two doctors talking about a
diagnosis of a terminally ill patient. George believes they are
talking about him and that he is doomed to die. He recruits his
friend Arnold (Tony Randall) to find a new husband for Judy.
Judy thinks George is covering up for an illicit affair and throws
him out of the house. George locates Judy's old college flame
Bert (Clint Walker), now a Texas oil millionaire. Excellent performances
by Edward Andrews as Dr. Morrissey and Paul Lynde as the aggressive
cemetery-plot salesman help this feature along. Although not
as solid as the Day/Hudson pairing in Pillow Talk or Lover Come
Back, Send Me No Flowers is still a good romantic comedy. ~ Dan

- Release Year: 1965

- Director: Frank Sinatra
- Categories: Drama, War
- Running Time: 105 minutes
-
- Frank Sinatra took over the directors' chair for the first
(and only) time in this unusual WWII drama. Lt. Kuroki (Tatsuya
Mihashi) is the leader of a Japanese platoon stranded on a remote
Pacific island, where with an iron hand he oversees the construction
of a rescue ship. An American plane crash-lands on the island,
leading to a skirmish between the two rag-tag legions; eventually,
both sides call a truce, and medical officer Maloney (Sinatra)
treats a Japanese soldier who was seriously wounded in the fighting.
American commander Capt. Bourke (Clint Walker) and Lt. Kuroki
come to an agreement -- they will work together to bring needed
help to the island, but once either side's forces reach them,
the fighting will pick up where it left off. None But the Brave
was an international co-production of Artanis Productions (Sinatra's
production company -- "Artanis" is Sinatra backwards),
Warner Brothers, Tokyo Eiga, and Toho. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie

He runs away and meets Raji (Sajid Khan), a young Hindu boy who
promised his dying father he would deliver a white baby elephant
named Maya to a sacred jungle temple. Terry agrees to help Raji,
setting the stage for colorful jungle adventures in their quest.
Highlights are the Indian jungle scenes and the exotic wildlife
of the region. The feature spawned a short-lived television series.

- The Dirty Dozen
- Release Year: 1967
- Cast: Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown,
John Cassavetes, Richard Jaeckel, Clint Walker
- Director: Robert Aldrich
- Categories: War
- Running Time: 149 minutes
-
- Director Robert Aldrich took what he considered a hopelessly
old-fashioned script by Lukas Heller and Nunnally Johnson and
fashioned The Dirty Dozen into one of MGM's biggest moneymakers
of the 1960s--and the sixth highest-grossing film in the studio's
history. Lee Marvin plays Major Reisman, assigned to coordinate
a suicide mission on a French chateau held by top Nazi officers.
Since no "normal" GI can be expected to volunteer for
this mission, Reisman is compelled to draw his personnel from
a group of military prisoners serving life sentences. This "dirty
dozen" includes a sex pervert (Telly Savalas), a psycho
(John Cassavetes), a retarded killer (Donald Sutherland), and
the equally malevolent Charles Bronson, Trini Lopez, Jim Brown,
and Clint Walker. On the dim promise of receiving pardons if
they survive, the criminals undergo a brutal training program,
then are marched behind enemy lines dressed as Nazi soldiers,
the better to overtake the chateau and kill everyone in it--including
the innocent wives and mistresses of the German officers. It
says something about Aldrich's skill as a director that he has
us cheering on this motley crew as it accomplishes its coldblooded
mission. Three of the "dirty dozen" survive, but you'll
have to see the film for further details. Though it might be
hard to believe, the novel by E. M. Nathanson from which this
film was adapted was even more bloodthirsty than the film itself.

go for the gold in order to receive the reward and restore the
good name to the Breckenridge family. Meanwhile, the villains

- Have you ever longed for the day when James Brown, Martha
Raye, and Col. Harlan Sanders would appear in a movie together?
Well, that's barely the tip of the improbable casting iceberg
in this bizarre cold-war spoof. The leaders of the American intelligence
organization the S.S.A. ("Super Secret Agency") are
becoming increasingly alarmed by the disappearance of a number
of B-list celebrities, who are being spirited off to Communist
Albania. Eager to bring the fading stars back to the Land Of
The Free, the S.S.A. come up with a simple plan -- they'll find
four typical guys in their mid-20's, have international stars,
and wait until they get invited to play a gig in Albania, which
will allow them to find out what's become of Rudy Vallee, Butterfly
McQueen, and Huntz Hall, among others. Unemployed philosopher
Michael A. Miller, Native-American honor student Ray Chippeway,
phys-ed major Dennis Larden, and male model Lonny Stevens are
drafted by the S.S.A., and after some intensive training by experts
(Trini Lopez shows them a few guitar chords, and Richard Pryor
gives them a crash course in soul), they become an overnight
sensation as The Phynx (yes, it's pronounced "Finks");
their album sells 17 million copies on the strength of songs
like "What Is Your Sign?", and their groupies have
to be cleared away by forklift. But fun and games have to go
to the back burner when Albanian ruler Markevitch (George Tobias)
and his wife Ruby (Joan Blondell) invite the Phynx to perform
at the behest of their son. Pat O'Brien, Xaviar Cugat, Patty
Andrews, Ruby Keeler, Dick Clark, Joe Louis, Harold "Oddjob"
Sakata, Fritz Feld, Rona Barrett, George Jessel and Jay Silverheels
are just a few of the other notables who make cameo appearances
in The Phynx, which had a very brief theatrical release before
being sold to television in the early 1970's. Legendary songwriters
Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller penned the songs performed by The
Phynx (and Stoller composed the background score), though for
some reason they're not covered nearly as often as Jailhouse
Rock, Hound Dog, or Yakkety Yak. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Jr.). Hardcase abducts the rebel chief in hopes of getting his
money back--thereby winding up in the midst of a deadly political
crisis. Alex Karras costars as a myopic associate of Hardcase,
who doesn't trust the wife as far as he can throw her. Hardcase
was produced by the cartoon firm of Hanna-Barbera, as an effort
to break into "live" TV-movie fare. ~ Hal Erickson,

- The Bounty Man is Clint Walker, back in the saddle some nine
years after the cancellation of his TV series Cheyenne. Walker
is hired to bring in his quarry dead or alive, and in the past
has had no qualms about choosing the latter option. Now he is
in competition with hard-bitten Richard Basehart in tracking
down a young murderer (John Ericson)--and now he begins to ask
himself questions about the morality of his profession. Though
there's no authentication of this opinion, The Bounty Man sure
looks like a series pilot. It was originally telecast October
21, 1972. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
