The Bravados (1958)
I love Stephen Boyd, but he was destined to be typecast as a bad guy! In The Bravados, he plays the leader of a four-man gang who raped and killed Gregory Peck’s wife. I guess when you’re trying to make it in Hollywood, you’ll take any part they give you; and, if you’re terribly good-looking, you’ll probably be offered bad guy parts. But the year before appearing as one of the most famous villains in Ben-Hur, it might not have been the best career move to take another bad guy role. Oh well. Any Stephen Boyd is better than nothing, I always say.
But back to the movie. Gregory Peck, grieving and angry, vows to avenge his wife’s horrific murder. He tracks down the four men responsible, and they’re waiting in jail to be executed for another crime. At the last minute, they escape, and Greg rides off, hot on their trail, determined to get his revenge.
If you like westerns, Gregory Peck, or revenge-fueled plots, be sure and rent this one. Those of you who don’t like a gruesome rape and murder to be a central motivation of the plot might want to watch something else, but rest assured, it was made in 1958, so there won’t be any graphic scenes. I liked this one, but then again, I was a little biased. Try it and see for yourself which hunky cowboy you’ll root for!
