View MoreBrilliant and touching
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
View MoreDefinitelly Errol Flynn didn't work in western despite him tried hard to do it more l assure over it,the analogy told by the drunken lawyer John Plato Beck played by the great Thomas Mitchell one the greatest actor all time according over so many best acting along his career,about the biblical passage over the King David and Bathsheba was put in action on movie,Beck perhaps was the only good character who deserves so much attention,always speaking in speech way and has been a man who spent a time to study of human soul using facts from the past civilization,back to the movie for a western is more about politics matters instead what this genre used to provide,also Ann Sheridan's character after his husbund's death change too much your previous behavior gave us a lack of feelings!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 7
View MoreThe westerns Errol Flynn made at "Warner Bros" were never quite his best. A few of them - "Dodge City," "Virginia City" and "Rocky Mountain" contain many entertaining scenes and are his most watchable. "Silver River" had potential and has a very good opening scene. Sadly from there on in, it is a disappointment. The plot is sluggish and confusing. The rambling narrative doesn't help matters. Raoul Walsh has directed far better films than "Silver River," including classics with Errol Flynn. Ann Sheridan makes for a good leading lady and she compliments Flynn well. The latter is playing a character who is less like his usual charming and confident self. He displays more of a hard edge and isn't very affable toward others in the film. I was quite relieved when the film drew its conclusion.
View MoreAlthough the first 10 minutes of "Silver River" seem like a typical Errol Flynn western, the story soon takes a turn into more tangled territory.Mike McComb (Errol Flynn), has shades of darkness that are almost Shakespearean or more appropriately, biblical – part of the plot is based on the story of David and Bathsheba from the Book of Samuel.Directed by Raoul Walsh, "Silver River" starts as Mike McComb is cashiered from the army during the Civil War. Embittered, he becomes a gambler bent on only looking out for himself. He heads west to Silver River in Nevada to open a saloon and gambling hall. Along the way he falls for Georgia Moore (Ann Sheridan) the wife of Stanley Moore (Bruce Bennett), a silver mine owner.McComb becomes the wealthiest and most influential man in town. But things unravel when it seems he will stop at nothing to get Georgia Moore. Eventually he seeks redemption when the town turns against him.Apparently Flynn didn't want to make another western although he appreciated that the script for this one had more depth than usual. In Marilyn Ann Moss' biography of Raoul Walsh, she quotes Flynn as saying, "As a Western I think it is damned good. I wish it would have been given me for one of the five other Westerns they had me do but I'm not going to be the Gene Autry of the future". However his contract forced him to make it. The film looks lavish with a powerful score by Max Steiner who didn't believe in music you don't notice. It also had a great cast including Ann Sheridan and Thomas Mitchell.Flynn and Sheridan were good together and she looks fabulous in the film. Apparently both liked a drink and managed to smuggle alcohol onto the set. The author of the original story and scriptwriter, Stephen Longstreet recalled, "It soon became clear that they were, even if we didn't see how. Later, I went over and tasted the ice water. It was pure 90-proof vodka." It doesn't really show except in a few of Flynn's early scenes where he appears particularly laid-back and mellow.The stories that surround the stars and filmmakers are often more interesting than the films they made, but "Silver River has surprising layers. This was Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan's last film together; sad when you know they both died relatively young; he at 50, she at 51.
View MoreErrol 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.
