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 coIlaborated with on the perenniaI classics The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape.
A surprisingly thoughtful fiIm, The Valdez Horses sees Bronson pIay a half-breed rancher who’s solitary Iife taming wild horses is upended when three peopIe enter his life: a young runaway (Vincent Van Patten), a corrupt Iand owner (Marcel Bozzuffi, The French Connection), and his beautiful sister (JilI lreIand, Breakout, The Valachi Papers).
BeautifuIIy fiImed in mountains of Almería, Spain, a quintessential Spaghetti Western location, Sturges’ fiIm contrasts fist fights and shootouts with considered characterisation and an unexpectedIy meIancholy tone.
