Product Description

Hollywood legend Barbara Stanwyck saddled up with writer-director Samuel Fuller for the pulp maestro's most audacious western, a boldly feminist spin on the genre that pivots effortlessly between ribald humor, visceral action, and disarming tenderness. High-riding rancher Jessica Drummond (Stanwyck) commands a forty-strong posse of cowboys, ruling Cochise County, Arizona, without challenge. When U.S. marshal Griff Bonnell (Barry Sullivan) and his brothers arrive in town with a warrant for one of her hired guns, Jessica begins to fall for the lawman even as he chips away at her authority. With astonishing black-and-white CinemaScope photography, hard-boiled dialogue laced with double entendres, and a fiery performance by Stanwyck at her most imperious, Forty Guns is a virtuoso display of Fuller's sharpshooting talents.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fuller’s western inspired by Johnny Guitar (DVD)
    Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    You can always count on Sam Fuller: his style and purpose seems to be to give you/the viewer something to think about well after the movie has ended. Admittedly I’m sure some movie fans will wonder if they like his movie(s) or not — like good beer Fuller may be an acquired taste — but there is little denying the fact he is consistently unique with the western Forty Guns following in uniquely bizarre, western suit.

    I, also, agree that for a movie that is noted for its sex talk and innuendo it is all rather dated because in 1957 there’s only so much sex you can sell and the eventual heavy petting scenes come across unintentionally humorous. There is also a surviving the tornado storm scene which leaves the two stars basically unscathed but, more importantly I guess, In the throes of heavy petting by way of their narrow, tornado escape.
    Although filmed in black and white Fuller admits being inspired by Johnny Guitar (Anthony Mann’s The Furies, too) and like the Nicholas Ray, symbolically colorful classic (I believe Johnny Guitar overrated) Forty Guns has its own layer of symbolism.

    Another unique aspect of Forty Guns: the music of guitar (of course) and singer is not played off camera. In one scene he walks into an outdoor scene of 5(?) men bathing in western tubs and it feels like the beginning of a musical number — but it’s not (a musical number). Was I supposed to laugh?
    There is also some getting used to John Ericson’s troubled younger brother performance to the powerful and domineering Barbara Stanwyck. She plays nepotism to the hilt. SPOILER ALERT:

    Ericson laughs and over acts, shoots the sheriff, she bails him out, and it takes a real man to open her eyes—as well as her heart—to finally realize her bro is no good.

    Well, I just wrote a fairly sarcastic review for 40 Guns but I am planning on watching this again very soon. I know I’ll see something or pickup on some interesting dialogue that will open my eyes or make me laugh when I’m supposed to.
    And I’m already re-considering Ericson’s performance as pre determined by Fuller.
    It is entertaining which may be the point?
    Oh, and I’m noticing Barry Sullivan (Tension) as a surprisingly interesting stoic actor. Good as Wyatt Earp aka Griff Bonnell. His younger brother is played by Gene Barry (Bat Masterson on tv eventually).
    Criterion DVD extras are good. It is surprising no commentary while watching 40 Guns though. Fuller is interviewed circa 1969 and says little about 40 Guns. Good booklet to read which is part of the reason I know I’ll be watching again, soon, in its entirety for, basically, the third time.
    4.0 Guns (stars🎸😜)

    Criterion should try harder to add subtitles in French and other languages. All the major distributors do a very good job of this and often sell their products cheaper than Criterion.

    What else can I say? If you love westerns you need to buy this. Finally on Blu-ray, with TONS of bonus content (like SO MUCH bonus content)! Picture and sound quality are FLAWLESS. It's the Criterion Collection, so you know it's nothing but the best! If you're a fan of westerns and classic cinema, what are you waiting for?!?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fuller Uses Stanwyck Wonderfully
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019
    Damned fine Western, loaded with some casual feminism (it'd make a nice companion to Johnny Guitar) and great performances that are just broad enough. Criterion did right by bringing this one back out of the vault and their transfer is terrific.
