Glory Guys (1965)

Very Worth Having

The only bad thing about this video is that it is not a director's cut! I remember a little more detail from the original release in theaters. An outstanding western and cavalry movie. It makes subtile use of real history. The relationship between Tom Tryon's character and Andrew Duggan's character mirrors the real life Custer versus Reno/Benteen friction. The battle scene fairly closely follows Reno's portion of Custer's disasterous engagement in 1876. Also note James Caan as the Irish recruit. Lots of low key humor is included, especially Tom Tryon's and Harve Presnell's fight scene. Maybe someday a DVD Director's Cut? I can only hope. March 16, 2003

The Glory Guys

This is a rip roaring western starring Tom Tryon and Harve Presnell, two of my fave actors! Both of these gentlemen were naturals and neither were given enough credit in their careers. This movie is a chance to see both at the height of their fame, and it is well worth the viewing. It is a cavalry movie...nuff said. December 4, 2001

Custer-esque US Cavalry versus Indians

Tom Tryon portrays a concerned cavalry officer attempting to whip his company of raw immigrant recruits into fighting shape on the western frontier. Simultaneously carrying on a love triangle with Senta Berger and her new flame, his scout. His commanding officer carries a grudge held over since the Civil War which clouds his judgement. In Reno/Custer like fashion, Tom Tryon and his company are sent to reconoiter while the General leads the remainder of the command to their deaths. Great battle scenes and rousing moments of espirit d'accord(sp). For those who like westerns, cavalry, and Custer. November 20, 1999
