| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Violent and rough |
| I saw this one when it came out. I remember at the time that it savaged by the critics as too violent. I saw it again recently on tv and I remembered that comment and laugh. You see this came out in the middle of the Italian westerns. The Italian westerns were beginnig to turn to violence to keep the audience that they had started with the Dollar movies. American westerns were just trying to survive, so they looked to the Italians for help. JERICHO was more violent than what US westerns were but not violent enough for the Italian western audience. This caused this one to die which was a shame. JERICHO had good blood lines. The story was based on a AL Cody novel and had very "cool" actors in Martin and Peppard. The story is tight and the characters are well drawn and the violence...well later American movies and American audiences took to violence with black ganster moview and biker movies. God for bid that someone try to change the American western. JERICHO today is a very good western and one must keep in mind the time in which it was made when they watch it. For you see it is also a time capsule of American movie history too. | |
