Customer Reviews of San Antonio
In this corner, Flynn; in that corner, Smith! I don't generally care much for Westerns, but "San Antonio" is a highly enjoyable, often laugh-out-loud example of the genre. Errol Flynn and Alexis Smith engage in a lot of snappy repartee, Smith belts out the classic "Some Sunday Morning", and S.Z. Sakall, a staple of 1940's musicals and comedies, shines here.
A charming, lighthearted mid-'40s oater
Errol Flynn was never more debonaire than in this briskly paced, totally enjoyable, two-fisted Western romance. Flynn plays Clay Hardin, a rancher who's been chased out of town by a syndicate of corrupt rustlers, but is back in town with the proof that will vindicate him... and with a hankering to meet actress Alexis Smith. She's a high-tone New York gal who finds herself charmed by the dapper, self-assured machismo of Flynn's good-natured rustic roughneck. You'll be charmed, too: it's hard to imagine anyone else being so suave and polite when they're whomping on the bad guys. Filmed in brightly saturated Technicolor, with the ruins of the Alamo eerily lit by the Texas moon. This film is a goodie! [Cast note: anyone who was charmed by S. K. Sakall's famous comedic cameo as a German emigre in "Casablanca" ("What watch mama?") will get a kick out of his extensive supporting role in this film... More cutesy ethnic schtick than you can shake a schntizel at!]
MEDIOCRE FLYNN WESTERN.
By no means a Western type, Errol Flynn was really the only non-American actor to become successful in this genre of film in the U.S. He confessed to being baffled by his considerable success in his earlier westerns (i.e. DODGE CITY & THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON, et al.) and he sometimes referred to himself as the "rich man's Roy Rogers". Here we have a mediocrity of the genre. The story concerns an 1877 cattleman named Clay Hardin (!) who returns to San Antonio from Mexico, where he has obtained proof that the owner of San Antonio's leading dance hall (played by Paul Kelly) is indeed the head of a well-organised syndicate of cattle thieves...Naturally Flynn has trouble convicting Kelly, but it all works out in the end. An amusing scene near the beginning of the picture has Flynn and Alexis Smith doing a Mexican dance together.
