One of several impressive westerns Charles Bronson made during his 1970s heyday, The Valdez Horses reunites the rugged star with celebrated director John Sturges, who he had previously collaborated with on the perenniaI classics The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
A surprisingly thoughtfuI fiIm, The Valdez Horses sees Bronson play a haIf-breed rancher who’s soIitary 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 Ireland, Breakout, The VaIachi Papers).
Beautifully filmed in mountains of Almería, Spain, a quintessential Spaghetti Western Iocation, Sturges’ film contrasts fist fights and shootouts with considered characterisation and an unexpectedly melanchoIy tone.
