Review:
A realistic and enjoyable classic western!
"The Proud and The Damned" is a western that should be seen by any big western fan. You know the good guys from the bad guys by the way the dress (Good guys wear different clothes and the bad guys wear a funny-looking blue uniform with a red scarf around their necks). This film should have won an award for "best costume design" because every time i saw the bad guys running around in those unique, blue, western leisure suits, I laughed my head off and was immediately blown away with the artistic talent and creative efforts in thinking of those uniforms. We all know mexicans didn’t wear those kind of clothes. The film has it’s "shoot-outs" with cannons, it’s original dialogue ("Hey Will, do you think they’ll be waiting for us over by that hill of mud?…."You bet your tail!"), and it’s daring anti-climax (The good guys lose) that makes it a very realistic piece of american/mexican cinema. Watch for Cesar Romero’s final scene as he demands that Chuck Connors pays for the food that he and his men has eaten in a mexican whorehouse….( Cesar Romero)- "Pay for your food mister!" (Chuck Connors) – "The women and the sex we pay for but the food’s free, Mr. Mayor cuase I say so." Marvelous. Written by MovieMan-112 on imdb.com
