Review of Lonely are the Brave (1962) by Cha T — 25 Jun 2008
Kirk Douglas says this was his favorite movie to make. That from a man who one an Academy Award for Spartacus! Based on a great little book called, "Brave Cowboy" this movie is filled with some of the best stars to light up the screen: Gena Rowlands, Walter Matthau (in a early droll comic style that he is now famous for), George Kennedy as the antagonistic prison guard, Carroll O'Connor in a small but funny role, William Schallert (you'll know him when you see him--Patty Duke's TV dad and voice of Milton the Toaster) as a comic deputy who doesn't realize he's funny, and one of the best barroom brawls on film (Douglas fights a one-armed vet).
Lots of emotions in this movie, right to the last scene.
