The 7th Dawn

Rather dull, but it has a monkey


Drama

Rod Lott
For a film that bills itself as a great adventure, "The 7th Dawn" is rather dull. This may be — must be — because it's made in 1964, before America realized it couldn't win every war (read: Vietnam).

Rod Lott

The Last Challenge / The Hanging Tree

Fairly nice shootin', Tex.


Western

Rod Lott
Two Westerns from the days when Hollywood relied on them pull into the DVD-R outpost from Warner Archive. Neither is essential, but its wide landscapes and reliable tropes make for comfortable-enough watching.
