Pony Express

Chuck Heston--the Ultimate Man's Man--is (in this movie) absolutely about the rough-and-tumble of Western life and totally clueless when it comes to figuring out the women. He wises up at the end--when it's too late, of course. But don't worry that he's going to spend very long grieving when there's wide open range to ride out thar. It's stretching the imagination a long way to imagine Chuck riding for the Pony Express--since he's much larger than the horse he's sitting. So, the basic takeaway is don't take things too seriously and have a good time watching Charlton Heston ooze testosterone and chew up the celluloid.

good western with a lot technicolor shootouts.this resembles cecil b.demilles THE PLAINSMAN 1936,but heston here does a lot of shootouts as buffalo bill when he should be portraying wild bill hickock played by forrest tucker.they should have just changed the names .but good western just the same.

A great story about the history of our country. Lot's of action, great movie.

This is one of the great movies from my childhood. Seeing it then on my Black and White TV with massive commercial interruptions. I have been carefully selecting these moves for myself as I see them, and this was a great choice. Watching it in color, in it's entirety on the wide screen was just great. A great western.

Love this alot

A very good western I had not caught before. Great storyline even if not at all possible. The movie is a top notch action adventure, western with a cast of stars who do excellent as well.

lots of action.

Good old-fashioned western

Satisfied with product, but picture quality does not appear to be blu ray. The previews have very good blu ray detail, but the movie itself does not have the same sharpness/detail.

Avoid at all costs. Awful video transfer done with substandard equipment.Lots of video jitter and guaranteed headache after a minute into the film.

Charlton Heston is pugnacious and tactful in equal measure. A classic Western but perhaps a bit slow to modern audiences

Good quality film to watch

This a historical DVD as well as being a good western film. Charlton Heston could have looked more like Buffalo Bill if he had had a beard (and longer hair) but I suppose he was younger at that time.
