    Editorial Reviews

    Warlock offers us a mean-spirited, mercenary Henry Fonda and an honest, peaceloving Richard Widmark. A Wyatt Earp-like frontier marshal, Fonda agrees to protect the small town of Warlock from an outlaw gang, but only if he's permitted to plunder the town's cash reserve. Widmark, the town deputy, is a reformed outlaw whose willingness to fend off the invading criminals is motivated by his fondness for his new neighbors. Looming large in the proceedings is Anthony Quinn as the glory-grabbing Fonda's sidekick. Adapted by Robert Alan Aurthur from a novel by Oakley Hall, Warlock is a good example of the "thinking man's westerns" prevalent in the late 1950s-early 1960s. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

    June 03, 2008: Okay, I've watched this movie like five times, and I'm still not bored with it! It's got an interesting plot. People say it's confusing...it's not. Pay attention and you'll follow it easily. The scenery is very bright and beautiful. Plus, if you play an instrument like me, the music in the beginning credits is very enjoyable. I can do without Kate Dollar, Dorthy Malone, but her type of character comes with an ordinary western. My favorite was Curley Burne, Star Trek's Deforest Kelley "Dr. McCoy", a smart-ass, happy go-lucky San Pabloite, but loyal friend to Johnny Gannon, Richard Widmark. Plus, Billy Gannon, Batman's Frank Gorshin "The Riddler". I guess what makes this movie clever is the fact that people in the beginning that are bad, might end up being good (And the other way around) Throughout the movie it keeps you guessing who's friends and who's enemys, and it doesn't become clear until the end.

    January 03, 2004: I rented this movie after TV Guide highly recommended it, and found it to be a confusing mess. Could not make much sense of what was going on. The women in the movie are blonds and are hard to keep straight. Dmytryk seems to have reused the sets from Broken Lance, and seems to have been wanting a Big Message movie about maybe Joe McCarthy, since he had been in jail for being a Communist. Watching Henry Fonda act anything is an education, but Warlock did not impress me at all.
