Hollywood's first "psychological Western" and one of Robert Mitchum's best early films, Pursued boasts a dark scenario--by Niven (Duel in the Sun) Busch--about a man psychically scarred by a tragedy his mind refuses to recall. Modern-day audiences will have no trouble decoding the mystery, but that doesn't undercut the movie's dramatic power, or the rugged beauty of what's been put on screen by two master filmmakers, director Raoul Walsh and cameraman James Wong Howe. With seasoned professionalism, they accommodate all the newfangled Freudianism and smoothly integrate the bedrock Western with the inky film noir. The rest of the cast includes Teresa Wright (then Mrs. Busch) as Mitchum's adoptive sister, who may become his lover and/or his killer; Dean Jagger, smilingly sinister as a weasely in-law; and that grande dame of the Gothic, Judith Anderson, as a frontier matriarch. --Richard T. Jameson

A great story, it is a different kind of western. The photography is excellent, if you like black & white you will like this one. I have watched it many times & plan to watch it many more.

I don't like most Westerns , but I do think that they did provide much family entertainment 1n the 40's and 50's. The problem with the genre is that it is exceedingly formulaic and simplistic with many stereotypes that at the time mostly everyone accepted: The sub human portrayal of native American as a savage "INJUNS", the portrayal of women as a relatively insignificant submissive "little lady," or as a dance hall girl, often a code word for prostitution.
Probably the worst element ... Read More

Interesting camera-work is the main attribute of this late 1940s western. It plays and looks more like a film noir than a western, but there is nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed that aspect, especially the noir-like cinematography. I say the latter because of all the stark black-and-white contrasts, night scenes and facial closeups.
At the same time, it reminded me of a John Ford western with the expansive skies and big rock formations.
I can't say the story is anything ... Read More

I saw this film when it first came out, nearly fifty years ago, playing as usual in the neighborhood movie,in a double feature. The memory still lingers, so I got the DVD. The untypical script must be taken as a symbolic parable, for otherwise it would be somewhat unbelievable. What the parable was supposed to mean, if anything other than the obvious final suggestion, was probably lost in the cutting room floor. One's interest, however, is kept throughout. The actors all perform as expected, even if ... Read More

Here is Robert Mitchum right before he made his break thorugh film 'Out of the past' Co starring Kirk Douaglas. Mitchum is known to be an underated American actor who was mostly typecast in Film Noirs, normally as the fall guy who couldnt give a damn. His presence and charisma presents a certain dark electrcity, yet during his film career he was able to prove he was more then just an actor in Noir.
Pursued is a dark western filmed by Raoul Walsh who had also directed High Sierra with Bogart. ... Read More
