Rating: - Kirk Douglas thought this film was his best
'Lonely are the Brave' was the film that Kirk Douglas, himself, regards as his favorite. No, it's not a big Hollywood flash like 'Spartacus' but it is the subtle and tragic rendention of a time and life style already gone. It's a tale of the passing of the old West and the disappearance of men--independent men--who couldn't or wouldn't change.

Douglas--Jack Burns--in the film is a man intolerant of rules, fences and civilization. He's a cowboy with an ideology. His sense of honor ... Read More

Rating: - This film made an impression on a twelve-year old
I was twelve-years old when this film came out.I remember riding my bicycle to Santa Monica(from Malibu)one Saturday.I was under the impression that it was a traditional western starring Kirk Douglas.I was mistaken.It is anything but a "traditional"western.It's really about a cowboy who is a misfit.He's living in a time where there are too many fences(boundaries)and he just can't reconcile with this situation.Kirk Douglas gives a fine performance(as does the lovely Gena Rowlands),but the "scene-stealer"is ...

Rating: - Why oh why is there no DVD
I first saw this movie in a theater when it was released and I was 16 years old. My brother and I stayed through a second showing (you could do that then) and went back to see it at least a couple more times while it was playing. It became and still is one of my all time favorite movies.
When I was 16 I loved it for the action and the humor ( Walter Mathau's play by play of the dog wandering down main street). As I got older the more serious themes only made me love it more.

Rating: - A scandalously underrated film
From the opening shot, a lone cowhand's camp in the desert and contrails in the sky, the theme is clash of the old west ways with the new, encroaching civilization. The film's neglect, one guesses, is due postmodern's narcissistic inability to understand it will be their turn one day.

Rating: - A wonderful discovery
4.5 stars. One thing about watching oldies but goodies is watching all the stars before they were legends: Carroll O'Conner, Walter Matthau, Bill Bixby and George Kennedy. I was immediately drawn into the film because of Kirk's amazing presence. Whenever, I see Kirk, I get the feeling that there is absolutely nothing in the world this man is afraid of. A man's man. One that never back down from a fight and is willing to put himself on the line-each and every time. If he's in the frame your eyes are on ... Read More
