Wordiezett So much average

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

utgard14 Errol Flynn is kicked out of the Union Army at the end of the Civil War for disobeying orders, albeit for good reasons. Now embittered, he travels to Silver City, Nevada, where he becomes a successful businessman through ruthless tactics. He also has an eye for married Ann Sheridan. Eventually Flynn's ruthlessness catches up with him.So-so western with a decent cast and director. Flynn's amoral character makes for interesting viewing, though the cop-out ending is absolutely terrible and undermines the rest of the film. Nice support from Thomas Mitchell, Tom D'Andrea, and Barton MacLane. The part with Ulysses S. Grant is amusing, particularly his short height, which is surprisingly historically accurate. The last of seven films Flynn made with director Raoul Walsh. Flynn's alcoholism and poor behavior while filming ticked Walsh off so much he refused to work with him again.

dbdumonteil Erroll Flynn epitomizes the American dream in his movie.he is the perfect go-getter,uneducated but very smart,who pushes everyone out of his way .Hints at David and Bethsabea are thoroughly relevant and gave the whole movie a timeless side.Stanley is a scientist,an engineer ,but what can he do?Wife Georgia is more reluctant but for her too,it's just a matter of time.The story is parabolic:the rise and fall of a young Turk ,during the "silver rush" .The most important scene is the banquet ,in Mike's desirable property which chic people are quick to leave when a "drunk"PLato has finished his long diatribe against his pal.Those posh people would never accept a nouveau riche in their aristocratic circle anyway.That scene is the central one,cause it contains both McComb's apex and his downfall.This is another great movie by a director who made dozens of gems.

yarborough By 1948 Errol Flynn's career was practically over, his health was fading fast, and he was known to have a bad reputation because of his drinking and womanizing. Such a shame for a guy who was untouchable in the 1930's, and had everything he wanted. But Errol Flynn had a reckless lifestyle off the camera and it ruined his own career by doing so. I guess Warner Bros. was trying everything to re-energize his career again, so Jack Warner had the great idea to team Errol Flynn, and Roaul Walsh together again, in a western with Ann Sheridan as his costar was a way to bring back his career. Nothing doing so, this film flopped, and Errol Flynn's career remained the same. Silver River is not the kind of film, that would bring your career back up or anybody else's. It's the kind of film you would want to avoid if you can. It's the least bit of entertaining, and the plot is as careless as it's script. Avoid this film at all costs. Errol Flynn aged considerably from his first western he ever made Dodge City to this one ten years later. He was a frighting 39 years old in this film, and looks more like he's around fifty. His age would just get worst and worst in the next ten years, and his films would become poorer and poorer. * out of ****.

Ilya Mauter Directed by Raoul Walsh, who undoubtedly was one of the maestros of the western genre, Silver River hardly can be called one of director's best works. It was the last Walsh's film made with Errol Flynn, and the only one they made together that hadn't achieved success at the Box Office. The story of Silver River is based on a novel by Stephen Longstteet, but it's also an apparent `western' retelling of Bible's story of King David. The film begins at the time of battle of Gettysburg during American Civil War with a quite remarkable chase sequence where the wagon of Captain of the Union Army Michael McComb (Errol Flynn) is chased by Confederate soldiers who are after the 1 million $ of Union money destined to be paid to the soldiers. In order to avoid that the Confederates take the money, McComb decides to simply burn it. As a consequence of this act, he's expelled from the army. An unscrupulous adventurer, McComb moves to the silver mine town in the west, where he quickly becomes rich and powerful mines' owner along with his partner Stanley Moore (Bruce Bennett) controlling all the town's industry and banks. Nothing can stop his greed and ambition and he further rises to power and an enormous wealth, promptly sending his business partner to death, marrying his beautiful wife Georgia (Ann Sheridan) and becoming the only master of the town and one of the most influential and rich men in the state. But his triumph doesn't last for a long time for his achievements tend to be impermanent as everything in this world, so by the twist of fate he finds himself again on the bottom of the well losing everything. Quite an average western with nothing particularly good or particularly bad about it, thou in my opinion worth watching, but don't expect to be much entertained by it or you might be very disappointed. 7/10
