Summary:
The US title of this Italian-Spanish-French coproduction is Chino, in deference to the character played by star Charles Bronson. Having long suffered the stigma of being part-Indian, New Mexico horse breeder Chino Valdez (Bronson) wants nothing more than to be left alone with his beloved horses. Even so, Chino opens his heart and his home to teenaged runaway Jamie Wagner (Vincent Van Patten), who becomes his protégé. But things take an unpleasant turn when the formerly taciturn Chino falls in love with Louise (Jill Ireland, the half-sister of antagonistic rancher Maral (Marcel Bozzuffi, replacing the original choice for the role, Lino Ventura). This film was based on The Valdez Horses, a novel by Lee Hoffman. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

John Sturges - Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)

allmovie.com ---
This powerfully tense, fast-paced suspense drama also yields a grim social message about racial prejudice. Spencer Tracy is John J. MacReedy, a one-armed stranger who comes to the tiny town of Black Rock one hot summer day in 1945, the first time the train has stopped there in years. He looks for both a hotel room and a local Japanese farmer named Komoko, but his inquiries are greeted at first with open hostility, then with blunt threats and harassment, and finally with escalating violence. MacReedy soon realizes that he will not be allowed to leave Black Rock; town boss Reno Smith (Robert Ryan), who had Komoko killed because of his hatred of the Japanese, has also marked MacReedy for death. MacReedy must battle town thugs, a treacherous local woman (Anne Francis), and finally Smith himself to stay alive. The entire cast is flawless, especially Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin as the mean-spirited town bullies, and the relentlessly paced action never eclipses the film's sobering themes.

John Sturges - The Hallelujah Trail (1965)

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h268/Fr0StBite71/mcginnis_the_hallelujah_trail.jpg

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5333/imdbimage.jpg

Plot: A wagon train heads for Denver with a cargo of whisky for the miners. Chaos ensues as the Temperance League, the US cavalry, the miners and the local Indians all try to take control of the valuable cargo.

THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL FACTS

THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL is a slapstick comedy starring Burt Lancaster as cavalry officer Col. Thadeus Gearhart, set just before the winter of 1867, when the boomtown of Denver realizes it's almost run out of whiskey. The perenially drunken Oracle Jones (Donald Pleasence) hatches a plan to bring a wagon train of whiskey to Denver before winter sets in. Newspaper editor Hobbs wires temperance leader Cora Massingale (Lee Remick) about the shipment, and a group of Sioux Indians also takes an interest in the booze. Col. Gearheart leads a company assigned to protect the temperance contingent, which intends to head off the train, and Capt. Slater (Jim Hutton) leads another, assigned to protect the train. A Denver citizens group, led by Clayton Howell (Dub Taylor), is also headed for the train, not to mention the Sioux. When the Teamsters suddenly stage a sit-down strike, the train is left wide open to attack. This odd little film, based on the novel by Bill Gulick, features a star-studded cast and a score by the great Elmer Bernstein.

John Sturges - Ice Station Zebra (1968)

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00004CJ99.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5333/imdbimage.jpg

from AMG

A top-secret Soviet spy satellite — using stolen Western technology — malfunctions and then goes into a descent that lands it near an isolated Arctic research encampment called Ice Station Zebra, belonging to the British, which starts sending out distress signals before falling silent. The atomic submarine Tigerfish, commanded by Cmdr. James Ferraday (Rock Hudson), is dispatched with orders to get to Ice Station Zebra carrying three passengers, a Englishman going by the name of David Jones (Patrick McGoohan), a Soviet turncoat named Boris Vaslov (Ernest Borgnine), and an American Marine officer, Captain Anders (Jim Brown), who is supposed to command the Marine unit assigned to the mission. Jones is problem enough, as he is in command of the mission and he prefers to withhold as much information as it's possible to do from Ferraday, even at the risk of the Tigerfish's safety. Add to that the fact that Anders is suspicious of Vaslov, and Vaslov seems much too inquisitive and is telling even less of what he knows about the mission, and Ferraday has his hands full trying to get these men to the polar ice — 600 miles of dangerous travel — in just two days. When an attempt to break through the ice — coupled with some timely sabotage — kills one man and nearly destroys the boat, the men surrounding these contending parties start to understand just how high the stakes are for everyone. It turns out that the Soviets want what was aboard that satellite as much as the West does; indeed, both sides are frantic to get it, and, just as much, to keep the other side from getting it — and they're prepared to take it by brute force. Once Ferraday and his men arrive at Zebra, they find a disaster and still more mystery, with most of the men dead and the object that Mr. Jones is supposed to secure nowhere in evidence, and he and his two fellow men of mystery suddenly showing their killing instincts quite freely. And with the storm clearing from the Soviet side first, their planes and their paratroops are closing in on Ferraday, and his relative handful of men.
Sharp dialogue, special effects that hold up fairly well, and a witty, wryly humorous performance by Patrick McGoohan show that Howard Hughes wasn't totally crazy sitting in that Las Vegas hotel room (obsessively watching this, his purported all-time favorite film). Rock Hudson may be the lead, but McGoohan is the real star. His verbal tangles with Hudson over the nature of their secret mission sparkle and give the film most of its fun. McGoohan's portrayal of a somewhat sordid spy who wants to say nothing, and Hudson's as a commander who must know everything, rise above the Cold War story line and give the film an almost timeless appeal. Spare, tight performances from veteran character actors Lloyd Nolan, Gerald S. O'Loughlin, and Ted Hartley help the two leads to shine. Ernest Borgnine's cheerfully amoral Russian defector and Jim Brown's Russian-hating Marine captain mirror the macho fun with their antagonist dialogue, especially when the submarine seems about to sink. (Borgnine: "Captain, if you were to compose your epitaph right now, what would it be?" Brown: "Knock it off.") The film falters in its late section, going with some cheesy special effects — including Russian planes that are obviously toy-size miniatures, and an indoor polar landscape set — and the score is redundant at points, but Zebra is a worthy predecessor to The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, and other modern submarine epics.
