Villa Rides (1968)
7/10
Great screenplay-writers, actors, composer and cinematographer bring history to the screen
25 January 2019
A film with co-scriptwriters Sam Peckinpah and Robert Towne is worth a look any day. Add the cast of Yul Brynner (with hair on his head), Robert Mitchum, Charles Bronson, a sinister Herbert Lom, Fernando Rey, John Ireland's cameo in a barbershop, and the film is more than a screenplay. One can add Jack Hildyard's camerawork (so reminiscent of his Oscar-winning work in "Bridge on the River Kwai") and the music of Maurice Jarre to make this film on the real life hero Pancho Villa, a worthy film.
