Customer Reviews of Duel at Diablo
duel at diablo one of the better westerns filmed during the 1960's
a violent storey, in the old west and a stirring
social commentary.
james garner, dennis weaver, bibi anderson., sidney potier stand out in this western and calvary action movie,the only thing missing was...maybe john wayne or burt lancaster coming to the rescue.
Powerful, offbeat Western. A must for fans of the genre
One of the most unusual westerns ever filmed, Duel at Diablo deals with a number of clicheish situations in a refreshing, fascinating manner. More engrossing than entertaining, the intense emotion and delicately intertwined subplots are almost hypnotically effective in holding the viewer's attention. James Garner, Sidney Poitier and Dennis Weaver headline an excellent cast. Beautiful locations and an eerie soundtrack add to the overall power of the production. This film is probably too violent for many young viewers, but will prove a most satisfying experience for western buffs who prefer gritty realism to the more common shlocky horse operas. Duel at Diablo will never be found in a listing of top westerns, but it belongs there. In fact, it holds its own in any movie library, regardless of genre.
Good action western with beautiful Utah scenery
"Duel at Diablo" is another cavalry-Indian affair that has the Apaches rising one last time, going on the warpath to settle old grievances and mistreatment on the reservation at the hands of corrupt agents and military police. The deserts and multicolored canyons and mountains of Utah provide a beautiful panorama for the hostilities between a column of troopers and Apaches that result in several bloody skirmishes in which the pony soldiers must battle thirst as well as their fierce adversaries. There are similarities between this film and "Ulzana's Raid" that was released several years later, with the Apaches fighting desperately for a return to the glory days of the warpath who are trailed by army scouts who know Indians and lead cavalry troopers into the field against them. Both films are quite violent but this film has a romantic angle between Indian scout Jess Remsberg who seeks revenge on the man who murdered his Comanche wife and Ellen Grange, the spurned wife of a freighter who has borne an Apache son. The film's music score has a bouncy, carefree quality that doesn't really work because it lacks the traditional heroism and tension of strings, woodwinds and tom-tom beats that give cavalry-Indian films much of their unique sense of drama, character and urgency that is part of the fiber of this kind of film.
