Available for the first time on DVD in a widescreen transfer in the Marlon Brando Franchise box set available from Universal Studios, this is a surprisingly good western starring Marlon Brando as a Mateo Fletcher, a reformed drifter who comes to Ojo Prieto to start life as a rancher with his adopted family. But things take a turn for the worse when a local bandit, Chuy Medina, decides to terrorize the family Mateo lives with and steal the titular horse, which holds a lot of personal meaning for Mateo. It's a pretty by-the-numbers Western with some extraordinarily good performances throughout, especially Marlon Brando. It's a little unbelievable when he splotches coffee grounds on his face and dons a pretty good accent to "become" a Mexican, but apart from that, my suspension of disbelief was upheld throughout most of the movie. The cinematography is wonderfully left of center, and there's a pretty suspenseful moment with a deadly arm wrestling match. Since this was a more rare film in the box set, I watched this one first, and I'm glad I did - I can't wait to watch the others (which include The Ugly American, A Countess From Hong Kong & The Night Of The Following Day).
