Review of Silver Saddle (1978) by Okuz A — 20 Jul 2009

I was watching this movie late at night. Usually, I can stay awake for a movie late at night as long as it's not boring and I'm not too tired. When "Boots" started I was wide awake. As the movie progressed my eye lids started to droop and my jaw started to hang.

I remember the beginning of a scene and it's end but I do not remember the in between. I love watching Errol. He's a little cliche but that was the 30's for ya. More than Errol is the tendency of Olivia to seem cliche.

She carries the same voice with her throughout the film and in other films as well. I could never picture Errol without anyone but Olivia but I'm surprised she continued to get parts for movies. You must think I hate Olivia.

In order to redeem myself, my favorite part in They Died with Their Boots On was the wagon trail conversations between Olivia and California. Olivia has never looked nor reacted so realistically. The scenes were sincere and entertaining and I got caught up in those scenes more than any other.
