Movie Info

The Appaloosa is one of the more tolerable Marlon Brando westerns, if only because Brando seems to be aspiring to merely entertain rather than offer us a litany of Life Lessons. The title character is a beautiful horse, stolen from buffalo hunter Brando early in the proceedings. The thief is Anjanette Comer, acting on behalf of her nasty boyfriend, Mexican bandit chieftan John Saxon. In his efforts to retrieve his property, Brando is subjected to torture and humiliation by Saxon and his minions.

Unrated, 1 hr. 39 min.

I like Westerns. It's not a great Western, but it's fun, and I'll watch it if it comes on TV and enjoy it. Unusual story which some will think moves too slowly.
