AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Steineded How sad is this?

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . that he's too eager to settle for "sloppy seconds" as BUCKING BR0ADWAY draws to its soggy close. Harry Carey as Sheltered Buckaroo "Cheyenne Harry" seems to blow his chance at Happiness with his One True Friend, a nameless New York City pick-pocket\hooker. Maybe his fickle one-time fiancée Helen Clayton is the only fish in Harry's native Wyoming sea, but after a week sleeping on an East-bound slow train with a brutish drunken womanizer named Eugene, Helen's clearly Damaged Goods. Back in the early 1900s Harry would have lacked a solid Public School grounding in Sex Education, so he's in no position to judge the difference between a dog-eared "country gal" (with an emphasis on that first syllable) and a state-of-the-art Pro in Good Working Order. While there's about an 80% chance that Helen's harboring Gene's Fetal Alcohol Syndrome bun in her oven, Harry's Soft-Hearted but helpful strumpet no doubt has used all the tricks at her disposal to stave off pregnancy during the five decades before she'll have The Pill at her disposal. One can only hope that there's a post-Big Brawl "Rest of the Story" here, in which Harry wises up, swears off Wyoming, and makes the chick who's been Around the World his First Lady.

nikmal At the Europa Film Treasures site: see http://www.europafilmtreasures.eu/fiche_technique.htm?ID=246As they say:"Film Treasures safeguarded by important European film archives are finally on the net! Thank you for visiting our site in such great numbers."I had not previously seen a very early John Ford film, but his directorial tropes are clearly evident here. The plot, though simple, is effective and I was happy to watch it all through (which is not something I could say about the last multiplex film I went to.Running time in this version is 52:11, and it made me watch 'The Searchers' again to see if I could spot William Steele as he was 40 years after this film!

rdjeffers Saturday July 15, 11:00am The Castro, San FranciscoA cowpoke has his promised gal snatched away to the big city by an underhanded dude who comes to the ranch and somehow tames the stallion that's already killed four men. Harry beats a hasty path to New York intent on winning his girl back. Ford's easily recognizable style is quite intact even in this early feature. A beautiful opening shot shows a lone cowboy on his horse, standing on a cliff with the winding river below as riders cross. When Carey loses his girl and ponders what he must do next, Ford places him in the foreground rise of a low valley, with a look of steely-eyed determination, while the heard grazes below in the distance. The finale includes an all-out brawl between the dude, Carey and their respective gangs.In the post-show discussion with Harry Carey Jr. and Ford biographer Joseph McBride, Mr. Carey described Jack Ford's directorial style and fight scenes. "He just let you go and said 'fight!' I broke three ribs once."

psteier Cheyenne Harry (Harry Carey) is a ranch hand who gets engaged to the owner's daughter Molly. However, she falls for the charms of city dude Thornton and runs off to marry him. When she finds that neither Thornton nor New York City high life to be to her taste, she sends a letter to Harry, who comes to New York and rescues her with some help from the other ranch hands. A very well done movie, with a nice mix of action, drama and humor, though the beginning is a bit slow. The French digital restoration is very nice, with scratches and most other damage to the print removed. The second John Ford film after Straight Shooting (1917) known to survive.
