Review of Sierra

Sierra (1950)
5/10
5 stars just for trying

Like I have said before in my previous reviews of westerns, I always wonder why directors don't try to be a little more realistic in their films. Example - chaps are worn as an extra layer of protection for a riders legs, both on and off a horse. Made of leather, they can be heavy and not particularly comfortable to wear walking around. Yet the hero in this movie NEVER takes them off. Even in the cabin at night having dinner by the fire. Terrible costuming, right along with the standard 50's trip to the studio wardrobe warehouse for all the other actor's "cowboy" outfits. And here's a thought. These had to be the bravest men in the west who thought nothing of charging, without hesitation, right into the middle of a gun fight with real bullets flying all around their heads. Brave, but not particularly smart, or again, realistic.
