    Angel And The Badman (Blu-Ray)
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2016*

As new generations of film fans discover “Angel And The Badman”, this little gem of a movie becomes more and more treasured as one of John Wayne’s best.  I discovered the film only a few months ago, and after several viewings,  “Angel And The Badman” has replaced “The Quiet Man” as my favorite movie with Wayne.  AATB is not an epic masterpiece like “The Searchers”, but this little “B” western has the heart, soul and sweetness to be a sentimental favorite, even among John Ford masterpiece movies.The main reason for the power of this little modest “B” western is Gail Russell.  Her adorable presence, and the amazing chemistry she has with John Wayne move AATB many levels above the expectations for a “B” western.  Minus Gail Russell, AATB is just another minor 40’s western.  With Gail, AATB becomes a minor masterpiece.  I had heard of Gail Russell and had read of her described as a “troubled, moderately good actress”.  I saw her for the first time in AATB, and was absolutely bowled over by her presence and acting.  Gail had star presence without even trying; the camera loved her and you cannot take your eyes off her, even with John Wayne on screen!  And I saw an accomplished actress who could command a scene wordlessly with just her amazing gorgeous eyes and expressive, sensitive, delicately beautiful face.  I could not believe that there were critics who could describe the Gail I saw in AATB as a “moderate actress”.Of course, I soon began to understand the contradiction as I read the bits and pieces I could find about Gail’s troubled life.The key to Gail’s superb and moving performance as “Penny” in AATB is that she was comfortable, happy, and healthy which boosted her self-confidence, enabling her wonderful turn as “Penny”.  It was John Wayne himself who ensured that Gail was well taken care of.  Warned by Paramount of Gail’s shyness and drinking to boost her self-confidence, Wayne went to extraordinary measures to ensure that there was no alcohol available to Gail, that she ate healthy, and was not isolated and reclusive and in the course of such care, Wayne spent a lot of time with Gail.  Unaccustomed to being treated so special and well, 21-year-old Gail soon developed a big crush on the then-39-year-old John Wayne.  Initially just protecting his big investment borrowing Gail from Paramount, Wayne himself soon grew very attached to his young female co-star, although his affections for her were very fatherly rather than romantic.  Wayne understood Gail’s anxiety problems as he had overcome anxiety as a young boy himself.The playful, fun, affectionate interaction on screen between John Wayne and Gail Russell is what makes AATB such a special movie.  By making film production, playful, fun, and unstressful, Wayne kept Gail’s anxiety away and her acting was superb as a result.  (A terrible shame that other directors and producers could not have been so understanding of Gail as John Wayne was.)This Olive Films Blu-Ray edition of “Angel And The Badman" is as superbly produced as the firm’s Blu-Ray production of “Wake Of The Red Witch” reviewed earlier. Sound is excellent and video clear; pausing the video and stepping frame-by-frame reveals an astonishing clarity for this 1947 released film. Again, just as in the firm’s Blu-Ray production of “Wake Of The Red Witch”, absolutely excellent technical work by the Olive FIlms crew on this Blu-Ray Disc of “Angel And The Badman”.“Angel And The Badman” is a special film worth buying in Blu-Ray for several reasons:(A) It was the very first film produced by John Wayne’s newly established production company which existed as “John Wayne Productions” 1946-1951, became “Wayne/Fellows Productions 1952-1955, and “Batjac Productions” 1956-1974.(B)It was one of the final film performances of pioneer Hollywood actor Harry Carey. He had arrived in 1913 in Hollywood, often working with legendary director D.W. Griffith, at the beginning of the Hollywood film industry. Harry Carey died of lung cancer in September, 1947, seven months after the movie’s release.  Harry Carey was highly respected, and along with William S. Hart was the most influential star to the following generations of western movie actors including John Wayne.  Like Hart, Carey strived for gritty realism and a genuine look in his westerns, avoiding the flashy clothes and gear of the likes of Tom Mix, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.(C)The movie is regarded as one of the finest performances in Gail Russell’s short career. Not satisfied with the Republic actresses available at the time, out of his small budget, Wayne paid Paramount $125,000 to borrow Gail Russell.  Wayne's film editor Harry Keller said, “She was just so beautiful.  No one, not even Elizabeth Taylor, was as beautiful as Gail”.

    A great script by one of the best Western screenwriters, with his own hokey direction
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2022*

James Edward Grant wrote, John Wayne produced but Grant misdirected this messy combination of romance, religious preaching and gunplay.  A great cast, fine writing but poor score and amateurish direction make for an odd experience.  Worth your while, but you'll have a hard time avoiding the fast forward button occasionally.

    Beautiful Blu Ray of a John Wayne Lesser Known Classic!
  

*by P***U on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 13, 2022*

This is by far and away the finest print I have ever seen of this film. This Blu-ray disc is virtually pristine. The black-and-white is crisp and sharp with beautiful contrast throughout. Although I would not quite put this film in the same category as one of the John Ford classic westerns he made with Mr. Wayne, it is a very good movie with a few different twists to it. The female lead, Gail Patrick is astoundingly beautiful. The way she looks of John Wayne throughout this film makes one feel there’s more going on here than just acting.There are a few of the character actors one comes to expect when watching a John Wayne film and they’re all terrific. Olin Howard is the telegraph operator gives a great performance and is really enjoyable and quite humorous in every scene he appears in. The disc does not come with any extra features, but that’s OK. The beautiful quality of this black and white film is plenty good enough. I’d score this 8 out of 10.
