Yellowstone Kelly

I can't believe that there is only one comment about Yellowstone Kelly, I know you couldn't really call it a classic or anything but I know films that are a lot worse that have been much better received in your lists. That is only my opinion and I don't wish to upset anyone but again as previously stated I think this film is a real cracker and has lasted the test of time! Graham Lenegan.

I think that although Yellowstone Kelly was probably only made to accommodate Clint Walkers popularity as Cheyenne Bodie just before and around the release of the film it was exceptionally well done with a great supporting cast and a super story line, but as I was only 12 at the time and I still recall it today it just shows it has lasted the test of time. I can remember very well all the old TV westerns of the fifties even at such an early age.Bronco Layne, Tenderfoot, Gun Law, Lawman, Maverick, Wells Fargo, Have gun will travel, Wagon train, The restless gun with John Payne, and of course my favourite Cheyenne.I love nostalgia and all these all time greats bring back fond memories of a more innocent age than today, although as my wife is always telling me I am very old Fashioned. Graham Lenegan.

I really love the scenery and the underlining story involved with Yellowstone Kelly. In my opinion, those are why it should be a must for Western fans. Spoilers Ahead: There is a scene at the end of Yellowstone Kelly, where Kelly ( Clint Walker) tells Sioux Chief Gall ( John Russell) "This place no longer smiles on your people, take your warriors and leave." It sums up the movie perfectly. Basically, the story is how the old way of life for everyone ( Kelly included who trapped for 7 years because Gall allowed him to because Kelly sabed his life) is coming to an end. First, after being a loner, he takes on 19 year old Anse Harper ( Edd Byrnes) as a partner, then he ends up with Arapaho Wahlleah ( Andrea Martin) who chooses him over Gall and his bad guy Nephew Sayapi ( Ray Danton). Then at the very end, a riverboat is coming and Kelly signals it by firing his rifle, because he and Wahlleah ( slong with lots of pelts) will be boarding, heading towards civilization. 9/10 stars

Scenery is beautiful. Clint Walker is outstanding in the role. Pairing him and Ed Burns together was a good choice. Very enjoyable to watch a good story.

Young Anse is the most endearing character in the whole movie:when you deal with the experimented tough guy /sensitive greenhorn team,generally the latter is told lessons in life and survival by the former ;in "Yellowstone Kelly", on the contrary ,it's the young one who,all in all,shows the way.He's an orphan ,an uneducated young boy ,whose only "culture " is his "Our Father" prayer.He has understood,long before Kelly ,that life is sacred and that you can't "own" anybody.One can dream of what Nicholas Ray would have done with this subject. That said,this low-budget western is enjoyable even though the Indians look like white guys with wigs ( they are ,particularly the Indian beauty everyone covets ,about as "Indian" as Debra Paget in "broken arrow" or Barbara Bush in "Taza Son of Cochise" )

The location scenery help make this a fine picture, with TV's Cheyenne, Clint Walker as the title character. Edd (Kooky) Byrnes shows signs that he could have been a good actor in a supporting role. Only real problem is the typical Warner Brothers Indian Maiden...complete with full make-up and blue eyes. The script moves along at a fast pace, the action scenes are great, and Walker appears HUGE on the screen today. This is a fun western to watch.
