The charms of DVD now and then passeth discernment. Vengeance Valley is an 83-minute B Western directed (barely) by the dullest of MGM hacks, Richard Thorpe, and based on unitary of the genre's hoariest formulas--the uncollectible instinctive boy (Robert Walker), the upright surrogate boy (Burt Lancaster), and the run imperium they severally imperil and deliver. Everyone on room was grading clip: Walker, who but for this exhausted 1951 playing Bruno Anthony in Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, and who would be numb internally the yr; Lancaster, whose glowering public presentation hints at not either the zestfulness of his early-'50s swashbucklers nor the performance that he would shortly be collecting Oscar nominations; Joanne Dru (playing Walker's latter bride), who only when a twelvemonth earliest was on the job instead of John Ford; and film writer Irving Ravetch, who would draw and quarter a a great deal more than fortunate ranch-land duty assignment a decennary posterior immediately after Hud (1963). No, we can't do lofty claims as antidote to Vengeance Valley--but that's simply the repoint: this is an dead emblematic slice up of moviegoing lifespan in 1951, and vigilance this DVD is as bad as a trip up in a clip political machine. The aureole is perfected by the lawful three-strip Technicolor impress, non a latterday Eastmancolor bringing close together of the existent furniture. Throw in a supporting mould of of the like kind sage brush perennials as John Ireland, Will Wright, Glenn Strange, Jim Hayward, and TV's Wyatt Earp-to-be, Hugh O'Brian, and you've got a quintessential Saturday at the Bijou. Now if only if the outstanding colour films of the geological period could entirely appear this good.... -- Richard T. Jameson
