1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor picture quality ruins this DVD, Mar 24 2001

This review is from: Hallelujah Trail (Widescreen) (DVD)

This release of a classic big event comedy/western is ruined by a simply awful transfer to DVD. The picture quality as seen line-doubled on my Pioneer Elite 700 HD set is nearly unwatchable. I hope MGM will try again with a goal of creating a much better transfer. This is one of the worst-looking DVDs I have seen.

Too bad because the movie is enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must see' for Lancaster and Western Comedy Fans!!!, Mar 13 2001

By

This review is from: Hallelujah Trail (VHS Tape)

This is one of my favorite comedies and it has the advantage of being a light musical as well. It's not politically correct, so if you consider many contemporary issues 'don't touch' subject matter, this isn't the film for you. However, if you enjoy satire and plain silliness, you'll like this classic. Lancaster puts the "v" in versatility with his comedic performance, and Donald Pleasance's Oracle Jones, isn't far behind (one of those pleasant surprises, like John Lithgow). From Indian rallies and army bands in the brig to white petticoats and red longjohns, the misadventures of Colonel Thaddeous Gerhardt and Cora Templeton Massengale will leave you in stitches!

This review is from: Hallelujah Trail (Widescreen) (DVD)

A true to life movie about the trials and tribulations in transporting necessary supplies through the west to save Denver from a most unthinkable drought.

Two major incidences are chronicled here "The battle of Whisky hills" and "the Battle of Quicksand Bottoms."

Crossroads in a sands storm see many groups passing. There is the vital element being driving by striking Irish teamsters, approaching evil temperance females led by troops desperate to get rid of them, Indians including "Sky Eyes" (blue eyes due to irregularity in his ancestry), and last but not least the Denver militia.

The list of actors alone could carry this movie. Martin Landau needs lose watching.

While you are watching this confrontation, be sure to protect both your rears simultaneously.

What does the oracle see? Many things are bout to go awry. Has Cora a change of heart? Col. Gearhart tells Cora to "Get away from my cords." Will there be some interesting solutions? Stay toned for the fascinating conclusion.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a movie!
I love this film. The humor is very good, the acting is superb, and it has a very catchy theme.

2.0 out of 5 stars Blech. Just...blech.
THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL is one of those big Westerns from the 60s, but rather than a straight Western, it's a "comedy. Read more
