Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
martin lane That was the title on the pretty Trucolor print shown on the Encore Western's channel....and I thought the film was a pretty likable low budgeter. The cast was professional...and the writing and direction told the pleasant enough story well. The depiction of Calamitiy Jane's love for the late lamented Hickock...and her reluctance to be caught up in a flirtation with lawyer Eliison give the film a slight air of gravity and romance missing from most b westerns of the era....I like the strange ethereal unreality of well used two color systems...and the use of pink and orange and green in this one is a treat....and well worth a peak for he curious...
TRunfalo Yep, it is so bad that it is almost good. The acting, other than Ankers and Ellison and Ingram , is pathetic. Lee "Lasses" White almost drove me to drink. This movie has virtually no credibility and no saving graces, except that the Trucolor photography is excellent...as excellent, that is, as two-color photography will allow. Struss does an excellent job in the color photography department which is the real reason I stayed with the film. The Trucolor photography has an unreal look to it...almost like a pastel painting. I only wish Gene Autry had made at least one Trucolor film in addition to his two Cinecolor films. All in all, watch it late at night with a bottle of Jack Daniels and relax....after all, it's only a movie!
