Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

utgard14 Underrated western with Dick Powell playing an undercover government agent investigating the murders of two soldiers. Beautiful saloon singer Jane Greer catches his eye but it turns out there's more to her than at first appears. Plays out more like a detective movie than a western. Powell and Greer are great. The supporting cast includes Raymond Burr, Agnes Moorehead, Tom Powers, Regis Toomey, and Burl Ives as a singing bartender. Pretty good lineup. The script is nice with some punchy dialogue that helps an otherwise routine western plot. There's a pretty good fight scene between Powell and Guinn Williams. All in all, it's a briskly paced western with a lot going for it. Worth seeking out.

jazerbini "Station West" is a nostalgic and wonderful western with Dick Powell and Jane Greer, filmed in 1948, so for over 65 years, a lifetime. A photo in black and white is high quality, the screenplay with an investigation into the Old West over gold theft involving actions of the army is well prepared. The dialogs are tastefully decorated, with great intelligence. The film conveys a clear idea of ​​continuation and sequences of actions with a very well built and perfect scenes of the Old West ambiance.And rarely met a group of actors so identified, all of great powers: the charismatic Dick Powell, the beautiful Jane Greer, an amazing and peaceful Burl Ives (singing), one Agnes Moorehead in his best physical shape, very beautiful and charm, Raymond Burr, still young, and Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams provides us with Dick Powell one of the best fights of the film, finally a cast of first class. All this with a very appropriate song to this western competent. I got a DVD copy of "Station West" and keep forever.

alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) I could never think of Dick Powell in a western, I knew him from a musical (42nd Street), comedies and as a director. But in this film he comes out well in the main role as Haven. He plays it as a Dashiell Hammett type of hero, like Sam Spade of "The Maltese Falcon", like Humprey Bogart in the West. The whole film follows the same style, including Jane Greer as Charlie, the beautiful villain. If you want to know what Burl Ives looks without a beard, here is your chance. He is the hotel clerk who creates the appropriate ballads. There is also Agnes Moorehead, an attractive woman (she was 48) , as the mine owner. The film requires an extra effort to follow the story as everything happens very fast.

Haecker Dick Powell, a favorite actor of the Noir genre, stars as military intelligence officer Haven, a smart aleck undercover investigator looking into the deaths of two soldiers. Everything appears, on the surface, to be fairly cut and dried, but a good script and excellent acting creates the moody atmosphere necessary to turn this unassuming western town into a darker place where things are not always as they seem. The plot is tight and the viewer should be prepared to pay attention lest she or he miss important plot points. Greer's performance is flawless, and even the actors who have few lines or quick cameos (Burr's performance comes to mind here), fully invest in their characters.The filming is rather innovative for the time, with realistic hand-held shots peeking through tree branches, at saddle level, or in the case of the aforementioned fight scene, employing angles that join Powell and Williams as they brawl on the dusty bar-lit road. Lanfield invites the viewer into the scene, creating a first person viewpoint that is entirely intimate.There are a few flaws in the writing, but on the whole, viewing Stations West is an excellent way to spend 80 minutes. Very entertaining!
