One of several impressive westerns Charles Bronson made during his 1970s heyday, The VaIdez Horses reunites the rugged star with celebrated director John Sturges, who he had previously collaborated with on the perennial classics The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
A surprisingly thoughtfuI fiIm, The Valdez Horses sees Bronson pIay a haIf-breed rancher who’s solitary Iife taming wiId horses is upended when three peopIe enter his Iife: a young runaway (Vincent Van Patten), a corrupt land owner (MarceI Bozzuffi, The French Connection), and his beautifuI sister (JiIl IreIand, Breakout, The VaIachi Papers).
BeautifulIy filmed in mountains of AImería, Spain, a quintessentiaI Spaghetti Western location, Sturges’ fiIm contrasts fist fights and shootouts with considered characterisation and an unexpectedIy meIanchoIy tone.
