Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review IAlvarez Kelly/I (1966) doesn't really justify the description of "Western Classic" which Columbia Tristar attach to it, but it's a pleasant enough Western directed by Edward Dmytryk. The rather convoluted plot (adventurer plays one side off against the other on a cattle drive from Mexico during the Civil War) relies heavily on the charm of the two stars, William Holden and Richard Widmark, but the two prove as reliable as ever. There are some so-so action scenes, but it's the battle of wits between the two principals that supplies all the fireworks. By contrast Janice Rule is just adequate as the love interest. p BOn the DVD:/B It's a good-looking DVD transfer, with a 1:2.35 aspect ratio and Dolby Digital sound. Subtitles are available in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch and Polish with dubbing into French, German, Italian and Spanish. For extras there are trailers and some filmographies, so partial as to be not much use. --IEd Buscombe/I

Customer Reviews: Alvarez Kelly January 9, 2009 Aquinas (North Yorkshire England) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A story of starving Confederates 'borrowing' Yankee cattle during the closing stages of the war. Generally entertaining, provided you don't take it too seriously. The truth about the 'Last Full Measure', for those interested, was a lot nastier.
