Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

verbusen I wanted to give this a shot because when I read that it was two episodes of The Virginian combined to make a "movie" I thought the first part would have Marvin and the other part would have Bronson. I had seen this done before with "Man from U.N.C.L.E" movies, two Gemini Man episodes together in "Riding with Death", and a few drive in flicks like "The Doomsday Machine, and "They Saved Hitler's Brain". The results are usually not very good but I figured with two legends like Bronson and Marvin it would still be something decent. Little did I know that instead of some footage to tie the two episodes together that instead they would cut scene by scene the two together, and also it seems, with stock footage from a dozen other films. I had to stop watching pretty early in when I saw random Union Calvary soldier footage in with lots of wagon trail footage. The telescope trick was a riot (and lame). If you like really insulting to your intelligence entertainment (to laugh at) then you may be interested in this, otherwise see it for the curiosity and don't stay too long or you may get angry at the creators for making something so horrible. I think this was made for overseas audiences where English is not the first language. 1 of 10.

David_Brown The single thing that really makes this film bad is the editing ( which might be the worst I have ever seen). You can actually spot where this film is spliced together from two episodes of "The Virginian" You can even tell how James Drury aged from the Lee Marvin scenes to the Charles Bronson scenes. Not to mention (spoilers ahead) the stupid abrupt ending , where you have no idea if Harge Talbot (Bronson) kills his brother Kalig (Marvin) or not. Of course, Marvin's character was originally named Martin Kalig, not Kalig Talbot ( see what a little IMD research can do?). There is only one reason to watch this film, and that is Bronson, who must have given an excellent performance in the original episode, because he actually looks good here ( or is it, because everyone else ( especially Marvin) looks so bad?). Perhaps the best way to see Bronson (if you are a Bronson Completist which is the only reason to see it), is look for the original episode or if you must watch this film, reverse what the editors did..... Zap through every scene not featuring Bronson or his wife. 1 star

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- 1962, Two murderous brothers are pitted each other in this story of hatred and revenge. They are on the run from the Law and each other. They collide when psychotic bad man Marvin attempts to settle a life-long feud with his equally deadly brother, Bronson. After a series of hair-raising public crimes like cattle rustling, train robberies, kidnaps, gunfights, ambushes and personal betrayals; the two outlaws face-off for the final time.*Special Stars- Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Lee J Cobb, James, Dury.*Theme- Bad men never really win.*Based on- Cain and Abel biblical myth.*Trivia/location/goofs- A disappointingly cheap Universal 'composite' patch work film made up from archive footage film clips from a NBC TV episode of 'The Virginian' and a good Fox feature film, 'The Return of Frank James'. Huge plot holes abound in this film's story. The best action scenes were taken from other projects and saved the filmmakers production money. Filmed from the back 'doubles' were used to match the patchwork clip shots in the scene action to make this file footage trick to work effectively. It doesn't. In the Bronson featured bank robbery scenes, you can clearly see that Bronson was strangely matted into a bank interior background. His head image outline was 'vibrating' due to the bad EFX processing to accomplish this. *Emotion- A somewhat forgettable western with a stellar cast made up of disjointed archive footage clips taken from other better Universal media projects. It's really too hard to follow the paper-thin simplistic plot in this movie by this money saving trick. Also, an overuse of stars reaction in single scenes to move the film along makes this film's pacing very tedious and destroys the continuity of the plot. Combined with the film's small explanatory prequel on the brother's early hard family life in the film's beginning, the viewer gets confused and bored from caring much about the characters.The director Sam Fuller should be ashamed of this one. Marvin looks and weakly acts like he never left the much better John Ford film, 'Who Shot Liberty Valance?" of the same time period. Bronson disappoints the viewer with his flat performances. All this, combined with the stolen action film sequences was a confused bore. You are better off missing this 'mean' turkey of a western.

lost-in-limbo What was this?! A complete botch. Kalig uses his half-brother Harge Talbot Jr (who he secretly hates for the death of his mother when he was born) in a plan to seek revenge against the judge who sent him to prison. Honestly I couldn't be bothered revealing much more because I came away feeling really gypped after expecting to get some Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin interaction. However their scenes are obviously edited together from totally different productions, which are supposedly two episodes of the western TV show "The Virginian". It's actually quite embarrassing and erratically staged. The way certain scenes are worked in are terrible, confusing and extremely unconvincing that found my snickering at the stock footage. Especially when Bronson and Marvin share the screen. Just look at those studio shots! ugh! From be it to the slipshod editing, what also brings it down was the non-existent direction, tacky music score and unusual photography. There so many odd filming techniques that try to cover it. It's just so hard to cut up this one because it's just lazy work. L.J Cobb also shows up on the same reel as the grizzled Marvin. Even with these names, everyone is pretty much on the sideline slumming it, with Marvin constantly staring and sneaking about. Gee, he might have just been as a viewer. The conventionally patchwork story is predictable from the get-go, with little purpose and a drone-like narrative that loosely draws up the two episodes together for one wretch story. Which manages to also drag. Sam Fuller's name is attached to it, but it's a fizzled effort. Even on their own, they wouldn't have made for anything of interest. The action sequences are useless and muddled. Pointless, just pointless.
