10/10
A great American film.
8 January 2012
This is one of the greatest films about America that has ever been made. Be warned however, this film doesn't cut close to the bone, it cuts right into it. Marjoe Gortner shows an aspect of American life which was not so obvious when he produced Red Ryder but is very much on display nowadays. He gives an excellent performance in the lead role and the rest of the cast are top notch as well, especially Stephanie Faracy as the waitress who is superb. The earlier reviews praising this film are spot on in my opinion. The good news is that When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder? can be purchased from http://www.j4hi.com. It is a DVD taken from a VHS tape so the quality is not the best but it is still watchable and well worth getting. Great script, great direction and great acting make this a film that deserves the highest praise though if you see it you will understand why it was not at all popular with the mainstream American movie going public of the time. Well and truly worth 10 out of 10.
