Review of The Big Sky (1952) by Kevin R — 04 Nov 2015

Whiskey leave me alone. Remember I must go back home.

A half man and half Native American discover an Indian woman that has a group of men out to kill her for some misdeeds she witnessed. The man and his companions rescue her and take her on a voyage back to get people where they hope to trade her. The outlaws are hot on their trail...as are the Indians.

"Where have you been?".

"I've been looking for you everywhere.".

"Why didn't you look here first and save yourself some time?".

Howard Hawks, director of The Big Sleep, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby, Rio Bravo, Monkey Business, Gentlemen Prefer Blonds, and The Dawn Patrol, delivers The Big Sky. The storyline for this picture is well written and fun to watch unfold. The action is pretty good as is the acting. The cast includes Kirk Douglas, Dewey Martin, Hank Worden, and Jim Davis.

"A man with six wives and more youngings than he can count...".

This was recently recommended to me by Fios so I had to DVR it off Fox Classic Pictures. This was a classic western with larger than life characters and some good character interactions. I strongly recommend this to fans of classic westerns.

Grade: C+.
