Texas

I really like it

Would have enjoyed better on dvd, great movie

As this is a product of Hollywood, it is utter folly to expect anything remotely resembling historical accuracy. However, viewed from the standpoint of entertainment, this is one of the better films I’ve seen, regardless of genre. Edgar Buchanan said in an interview decades on that this was his favorite, and having witnessed his performance it is clear why TEXAS received and retained that distinction. A genuinely eye-opening surprise was William Holden and Glenn Ford appearing to be little more than teenagers. Pure fantasy, generously supplied with humor, and very entertaining.

Pretty good movie, but I did not like the way it ended.

Texas was directed by George Marshall & starred William Holden & Glenn Ford. It was only Holden's ninth movie & Ford's eleventh movie & they don't look old enough to have already made that many appearances. Texas is a lighthearted movie which George Marshall was pretty good at doing. It's an old style western which may not please everyone.Holden & Ford are two ex-confederate soldiers that are going to Texas. They witness a stagecoach holdup but don't intervene. They track down the robbers & rob them of the money. Through a misunderstanding they are accused of the holdup. They separate in the ensuing chase vowing to meet up again in Texas.One of the film's funnier segments is when Holden goes into the boxing ring to earn some money for the two broke friends. It's a bare knuckle event under the Marquis of Queensbury rules. It's mostly comedic with Holden getting the worse end of things. Holden ends up winning which creates a problem monetarily because Ford has gambled that Holden won't win.Holden & Ford then take two different paths; Ford goes to work on a ranch while Holden falls in with cattle rustlers. This inevitably leads to the two main characters being on opposite sides of the law & having to question the true meaning of friendship. They are also in love with the same woman, Claire Trevor, which only intensifies the eventual showdown. Edgar Buchanan co-stars as a dentist (which he was in real life) that's the behind-the-scenes leader of the rustlers.It all turns out to be entertaining but not very deep & not real meaningful. Texas is a film that was ahead of it's time in one sense; today, the exploration of friendship would have been addressed differently which might have made Texas a good movie instead of an average one.Several years later Ford & Holden would reunite in The Man From Colorado. Their roles would be reversed in a much more effective film.

This video, if you love and like Westerns as well as we do, was outstanding!!! William Holden was the main actor and had a lot of suspense to keep you interested in the movie!!! Because of that it got a 5 star rating!!!!!

Great old b&w western with a story that moved quick. Good for a few laughs too ! 😊

Great Western made from the past. Good story and great cast.Seeing these great stars when they started out was a delight.

IL Y A un COMMENTAIRE plus haut qui dit que TEXAS avec GLEN FORD est en LANGUE ANGLAISE mais il n,en est RIEN , il est en version francaise avec des sous titres si on en désire , J,AI FAILLIS a CAUSE de ce COMMENTAIRE ERRONNÉ DE NE PAS L,ACHETÉ , POURTANT VOUS POUVEZ FIER a la DESCRIPTION D,AMAZONE IL EST BIEN EN LANGUE FRANCAISE . COMMENTAIRE D,UN CLIENT QUI EST FAUX et INUTILE . SEULE CHOSE QUI EST VRAI GLEN FORD EST NÉ au QUÉBEC , UN CLASSIQUE AVEC GLEN FORD DANS SES DÉBUTS , c,est a VOIR ABSOLUEMENT UN BON WESTERN en NOIR et BLANC . ACHETER LE LES YEUX FERMÉS . DE PETER du QUÉBEC . . .

This is for all of you film buffs that get a bit tired of the modern movies heres a real oldie but full of good stuff no bad material here at all ,you could show this to your gran ,and she,s love it so will you if your into the quality vintage western

William Holden and Glen Ford are so young in this movie. Holden has long hair and Ford is thin (and almost unrecognizable). Claire Trevor gets an unusual role for her in that most of what she does is slapstick comedy, and she does it rather well.

Un bon western, bénéficiant d'une bonne mise en scène et d'une bonne photographie, qui vous permettra de retrouver William Holden et Glenn Ford en début de carrière; mais c'est surtout l'acteur qui joue le dentiste (Buchanan) qui fait une excellente composition. POur les amateurs du genre, ce film est une bonne surprise.

I liked this more than I thought that I would. Good seeing William Holden and Glenn Ford as very young actors.
