THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE LADY.......2007-04-26

THE SPOILERS is based on a novel written by Rex Beach The Spoilers. In 1942, it was already the fourth time Hollywood producers were adapting the book whose last adaptation was released in 1955. I sincerely would have liked to sing without limitation the praises of the film like all the precedent reviewers here but I honestly can't. Director Ray Enright was not John Ford nor Anthony Mann and all the Hollywood stars wouldn't have changed the fact that this movie is a good B-movie but not a masterpiece.

Don't misunderstand me, I've liked the film or, rather, I've liked certain aspects of THE SPOILERS. Marlene Dietrich's performance, for instance, is a reason to see the film, she's the real star here, John Wayne and Randolph Scott's parts being interesting, yes, but less important. I've also liked a few comic scenes such as the arrival of Jonathan Struve at the mine and his retreat in front of Al Dextry and his rifle Betsy. In this scene, Ray Enright reminds us of the time he was a gag writer for Mack Sennett. Finally, there is the well-known final fight between John Wayne and Randolph Scott : absolutely unrealistic but so cinematic.

A DVD zone Roy Bean.

Dietrich, Scott & Wayne star in this fast-paced mixture of adventure, romance and saloon brawls........2007-01-20

John Wayne may well be billed third behind Marlene Dietrich and Randolph Scott In this forth and best version of THE SPOILERS but it was Wayne's star that was in the ascendancy, most of Dietrich's best work was behind her and Scott from the mid 1940's on was mostly in above average B-Westerns. Also starring Harry Carey former cowboy star of hundreds of early westerns and a favourite of director John Ford.

THE SPOILERS was from a 1906 novel by Rex Beach the story is set in the mud splattered mining town of 1900 Nome, Alaska during the gold rush. Roy Glennister (John Wayne) and Al Dextry (Harry Carey) are co-owners of a gold mine financed by saloon owner Cherry Mallotte (Marlene Dierich). A crooked gold commissioner Alexander McNamara Randolph Scott sets out to steal Glennister's claim along with the love of Cherry! The climax is one of the best-filmed extended bar-room-brawls of all time. A fifth version was released in 1956 this time in color with Jeff Chandler and Rory Calhoun in the Glennister and McNamara roles.

Made in Yukon Territory, Canada 65 years ago, filmed in black & white and directed by Ray Enright. No doubt a five star western on its release; including the excellent opening sequences showing the very muddy streets of Nome. The end also has the much acclaimed fight sequence between Wayne and Scott, but in between some other parts of it don't quite pass the test of time on this Universal 2006 DVD Release.

Classic Wayne/Scott Teamup.......2006-10-31

Westerns greats John Wayne and Randolph Scott made two movies together. The second one was Pittsburgh. But the first was The Spoilers, the best known and most popular version of the classic Rex Beach novel about two strong men on a collision course with each other with Marlene Dietrich smack in the middle of them.

Wayne is a miner in Alaska who runs afoul of town boss Scott. Wayne has struck gold, and Scott is working overtime to cheat Wayne out of the claim or force him out. Both are in love with Dietrich. The two butt heads in one of the most famous fight scenes in movie history.

The movie has its flaws. It makes racist jokes at the expense of Dietrich's black maid, the nadir of which is Wayne in blackface pretending to be a black man. But this movie is a classic, rip-roaring, brawling Northern that set the standards for this subgenre of Westerns. This is a movie that has a secure place in history, regardless of how uncomfortable certain scenes to watch

the spoiler.......2005-09-22

wayne and scott how can you go wrong good movie im a big fan of both

One of the greatest westerns ever made!.......2005-07-02

I have this movie and love seeing it. It is one that you will want to watch time and time again. The script is cleverly written, such as the line that John Wayne says to Marlene Dietrich: "Baby,you'd look better in a burlap bag". The music is conducted by Elmer Bernstein and helps to capture the drama in this movie. John Wayne's way of getting his words across to the actresses in the film is his trademark, his high pitched voice, the nod of his head and his smile. The brawl between John Wayne and Randolph Scott is a real classic of movie making.So much could be said, but if you love old western classics you will really enjoy this one. They don't make them like this anymore. This movie should be rated a 10.

Spoilers of the Plains.......2007-01-03

I find that most of the Roy Rogers films are very enjoyable to watch. It is kind of an adventuresome muscial. A little "Oklahoma" without Rogers and Hammerstein. In this case Rogers and Trigger.

Cold War Western.......2005-06-12

A rarity. This is one of two Roy Rogers' fifties westerns (the other being Bells of Coronado) with a Cold War theme. In this case, a fake oilman (under the services of an unnamed foreign power) tries to obtain the military secrets behind a classified rocket experiment in weather forecasting. The film is mildly entertaining and should please fans of the famous singing cowboy. Bad news: the copy used for the DVD is not the original 63 minutes print (as advertised in the box) but a 55 minute version, edited for TV.
