Der stolze Rebell (1958)
10KDer stolze Rebell: Directed by Michael Curtiz. With Alan Ladd, Olivia de Havilland, Dean Jagger, David Ladd. A Confederate veteran living in the Yankee North struggles with his son’s shock induced muteness and the hate of the Northerners.
“Great acting by Olivia DeHavilland (!), Alan Ladd (!), and son David Ladd. Director Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) shows his soft side in this family film about a man selling his dog to heal his sonu0026#39;s muteness. I loved this film when I was a pre-teen, and watched it again last night with my twelve-year-old, and she was pulled into it faster than I was. (Harry) Dean Stanton as the villain, good photography and effective musical score by Jerome Moross in the u0026quot;Big Countryu0026quot; mold. Lackluster action scenes arenu0026#39;t bad enough to ruin the mood; but it will remind many viewers of u0026quot;Shaneu0026quot;.”
