Product Description

The son of a Texas cattle baron leaves prison seeking revenge on his three brothers. Directed by Edward Dmytryk.

Amazon.com

Broken Lance is a noble entry in the trend of adult Westerns of the early 1950s, scoring on a couple of fronts: (1) as a multigenerational saga, with Shakespearian overtones, of a family bickering over a giant ranch, and (2) as a grown-up look at the dilemma of the Native American... its title perhaps inspired by the Indian-friendly Broken Arrow? Spencer Tracy stars as the blustery patriarch of a cattle spread, threatened by pollution from a nearby copper mine as well as the shiftiness of his older sons (Richard Widmark, Hugh O'Brian, and Earl Holliman). Tracy's bluff characterization--as ever, he seems to be yanking at the script like a cat unraveling a ball of yarn--carries the film effortlessly along. The central character is actually his youngest and wisest son, played by Robert Wagner, who's not especially convincing as the mixed-race issue of Tracy's second marriage, to an Indian woman (Oscar nominee Katy Jurado). Edward Dmytryk directs in a style that could be called "intelligent," which is another way of saying "not very exciting." The early CinemaScope probably accounts for some of the static set-ups, although there are exteriors that are breathtaking (watching this film in its full-screen version would be crazy). The cast is certainly tops; Widmark is overqualified to play a third lead, but who's complaining? Most memorable is the loving relationship between Tracy's cattleman and his Indian wife, although the subject of Native Americans is secondary here (check out The Devil's Doorway and Apache for more overt Fifties looks at the topic). Veteran screenwriter Philip Yordan won an Oscar for his "original story," a curious and long-defunct Academy Award category. --Robert Horton

If you love old Westerns as I do

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

If you love old Westerns as I do, this is a gem. Spencer Tracy plays a widowed rancher with 3 sons, who then apparently meets and marries a Native American and has another son. The older sons resent the youngest, played by Robert Wagner, seeing him as favored.That's the back story. The film starts as the youngest is being released from jail after a 3 year sentence. The film goes on in a flashback to explain what led up to this. Spencer Tracy is charming with his wife, and is the only one in this film with any expression or humanity or humor. The others' acting is pretty wooden in that old-western style-- but very much worth watching just for Tracy, and for the engrossing story.

Westerns like this marked the end of an era for this genre.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

Although the movie had a roster of great actors it also must have a realism to the drama. This movie had over dramatization and over acting in an effort to make it an epic film. Although I love westerns I couldn't get past the hard sell drama and that's why I only gave it three stars.

Tracy gold

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is the latest in, probably, a long line of classic westerns I've missed. Especially ones starring Spencer Tracy, of which I suspect there are a precious few. Tracy's role alone makes it worth a watch.

This story really hasn't aged well as the brainless racism that fuels the plot is all but gone now and without that it's really just another western, missing the level of action we've come to expect in most John Wayne adventures. The supporting cast were capable but not a lot more. Most of them ended up doing episodic television for the rest of their career.

Props are deserved for Edward Dmytryk's deft direction. Since I have no insight into what happened when the cameras were not rolling I'm going to presume that Tracy basically was left to do what he does, since he does it so well. And the rest of the cast performed at, or slightly above their pay grade. The one exception is Richard Widmark. I can't help thinking that he had just one speed. Grumpy. Or maybe even acrid. I've watched his performances nearly dismember otherwise decent films for me. There may be something about him that I don't get but his name on the credits always makes me think, "do I REALLY want to watch this?" Fortunately, he stayed well enough inside the lines as Ben Devereaux as to not scupper the show.

In sum, Broken Lance is worth watching for Spencer Tracy alone. And the good news is that all the rest is pretty decent so if you invest 90 minutes watching it you won't be disappointed. Especially if you love to watch Spencer Tracy.

great film often copied on tv

Reviewed in Canada on June 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

I see this film, and its the first time I saw it, and its an old fashioned kind of story. Many people find the father odd and ill, as the sons do, or if you had a father like this, demanding and perfecting, an old fashioned kind of father like on Leave it to beaver..a taskmaster and moralist who is confronted with children who are no better than thieves. A morality tale quite common in the middle ages, and when people see this kind of figure, filled with romance and dread, they usually are set on reform. They are not activist, ill, trying to make you a copy of themselves, they may say that about the four sons..these old persons had their ways about them with their children and you may see occasionally some characters like this around..and this is the character spencer tracy, an actor and movie star who was known for his great ability and differentiated approach to each role, like a character etched in his memory, and he seems a different man in each film. At times persons are reluctant to appear in afilm, since at the time they werent that good as actors, couldnt hone their craft to his level, but usually as in this case, the support actors give better performances. There were many great roles he made in the 50's and 60's and this displays hollywood, they have an actor who has a great reputation and put him through many august roles...much as the Last HUrrah..bad day at Black Rock the Mountain...ad infinitum..and there is a reason at all these studios he is able to easily digest these roles and what others would make of them, they found him deferential at times when he
acted, and he wanted support actors actressesa at the top of their form..and in OLd Man and the sea he was alone..but actually far and away a premier actor and star..and a romantic star in a different vein. He doesnt come for copy and replay the same role, copy, as some other romantic stars do..but thats acting..in this film he plays a man from the past, his values, respect for those hes loved, values, grit, and in his home his honorable sense of life is displayed in relation to his children..and many today will find this type of character, demanding, out of sorts, ill, as the children do..and we see in each person their perceptions of the world around them..a few persons anyways..like novels written by so many persons..and they relate..and thats the story..with old pictures mounted against the wall..a la bonanza..the persons they loved in the past who reside a spart of them and the kids..and their world...and thats why they choose him in this kind of film, make what you will of the film, i found it entertaining as well as the Last HUrrah...same actor. This type of western was the basis for many entertaining westerns which flooded the tv screens for many years..we hardly see them any more..since we can not make sense of these old characters..I think thats the reason...although hopefully will still see them here and there...

'A FAMILY AT WAR'

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

'Matt Devereauxe' (Spencer Tracy) has built up his ranch over many years, he's always been a man that lives by his own rules,
regardless of who he might have trampled on along the way.......divide and rule.
When 'Matt' raids a 'smelter' for contaminating the ranches water supply, youngest son 'Joe' (Robert Wagner) steps up to the
mark taking the blame and being served a prison sentence.
The divide between 'Matt' and his eldest 'Ben' (Richard Widmark) comes to a head, the argument so heated quick-tempered
'Matt' suffers a stroke.
'Ben' takes over the running of the ranch with brothers 'Mike' (Hugh O'Bran) and 'Denny' (Earl Holliman) ...'Joe's' determination
to run the ranch his way and sell land will kill his now incapacitated father
'Joe' has been festering in prison with just one thing on his mind ...revenge.
A story of family divides in the West during the 1880's.
An all-star line-up in this well-crafted and gritty Western released way back in 1954.
(The Blu-ray upgrade is a marked improvement in picture quality to the DVD version)
Currently available as a Spanish-Import ....the language switch easy to do.
