About 15 years ago, my uncle came by with a dvd that contained a bunch of old westerns on it. He came up with the idea to pick a random movie on the dvd and take a shot/drink anytime they did. Someone randomly selected One eyed Jacks. No one had even heard of it. We were all blown away by just how great the movie was. To this day it’s hands down my favorite western and quite possibly my favorite movie period. I’ve watched it countless times sense then.
My favorite movie of all times. It’s got everything in it. Romance, betrayal, friendship, brutality, deception & more. Brando is magical as Rio and Malden is perfectly rotten. Each character embodies their role to perfection. I love this movie and the soundtrack!
Brando's performance is perfection in this film. The other actors are absolutely phenomenal as well. This film is very precious to me, a true masterpiece.
I've lost count of the times I have watched this film over again, but each time I come to admire more and more Pina Pellicer's beautiful, heartfelt, and moving performance.
I'm a big Western movie fan but in my opinion it's the best Western ever made. Fantastic photography, acting and directing. Brando's great but Karl Malden and Ben Johnson standout. The romantic scenes are beautifully done.. Thank you Mr Brando. Overlong and too melodramatic? Not in my book. I love every minute of it.
I have been waiting for years for this movie to be recognized as one of the best Western movies ever made. I watched this movie as a child in Bogota Colombia and no one back then could understand why Brando or Malden did not receive an Oscar or at least a nomination for their acting. I applaud your critic on the movie. Thank you!
This is hands down the greatest western ever made. What makes it even better is it never received the credit it deserved, so there is an elite group of us true "One Eyed Jacks" fans who appreciate the brilliance of this movie. All of the characters are played to perfection. Their complexity (alternating between good or bad depending on the circumstances) is fascinating. Brando, Malden, Jurado, Pickens, and Johnson all in one movie! The best of the best.
Can't recall now how I first came across this movie, but it was years ago and I have always loved it. I have it on DVD and have watched it more than a few times. It is among my all time favorite westerns along with Josey Wales, Jeremiah Johnson, The Wild Bunch. There is not a slouch in the entire cast, everyone is excellent at their acting craft, and everyone is in their prime, delivering their best work. The movie has a great story too, with a lot of complexity and deep character development. More so than your typical western. The setting is rather unique as well. Rather than the mountains, plains, desert or mesa we are treated to old Monterey, fiestas and ocean beaches. Nicely done.
Brando said his take on this movie was that none of the characters were straight with each other, nobody was what they pretended to be: Dad Longworth had his wife convinced he was an upstanding citizen, Rio convinces dad he's not angry with him or anything, rio makes dad longworth''s step daughter believe he loves her just to deflower her to get even with dad for leaving him in Mexico to be caught by Federalis. it goes on from there. Nobody is what they pretend to be. at one point rio tells dad that everybody around here believes he's a fine, honest citizen "you've been a one-eyed jack around here, but i seen the other side of your face." hence the name "one eyed jacks", it's plural because that's what they all are. also, it's based on billy the kid and there's an absolutely great jail-break scene. this is a real classic.
Have loved this movie since my childhood. I still remember my siblings and me playing, doing alot of those quotes over and over..'You get up you big tub of guts', 'Don't be doing her like that', and 'You come around here again, and 'I'll shoot you down like a dog in the street'..We really got a charge out of those. Also years later I really grew to appreciate the short but great performance of the woman in the bar called 'Red'. Miriam Colon, who years later played Al Pacino's 'Tony Montana's mother in 'Scarface'..
Marvellous acting and direction and character development in this cinematic masterpiece. Superb casting and script; not to mention all of the emotional tensions going on under the surface. A stylised, classic, first class film. Wish Marlon directed more! Love it!
I seen this movie in 1961 when it first came out on the big screen as a kid I thought it was outstanding and I idolized Marlon Brando since then along with Elvis Presley. I've watched One Eyed Jacks Many many time's, it's still an excellent movie, one of, if not the best western that was ever made.
I saw it as a youngster as well, so young that I was shocked when Brando hollars out to Slim Pickens take your DAMN hands of her as Pickens is wrestling her away after she tries to smuggle in a gun to Brando, I haven't changed my mind about the movie many decades later.
Non movie-lover Mom told me how much she loved "One-Eyed Jacks" several times long before I finally watched the restoration for the first time last year, since the Blu-Ray copy I bought & started to watch was atrocious, Mom God rest her was SO right, it's a great western!
Spot on for overview. We could go into details about the Great love romance with an extraordinary female soul, who pioneered the Realism method for Mexicans
Sure, you can't mention everything in a short review, but don't forget the music! Try watching this film without sound and you can appreciate the importance of the music to it's success!
It’s one of my top five favorite movies I tell a lot of people about it and they’ve never seen it and they watch it and they agree. I didn’t know Marlon Brando directed it but I agree with everything that said here I noticed about the size of the waves being from California and knowing the beach as well.
The movie Shane with Allan Ladd and Jack Palance is also another Western well acted not quite as good as this and not as complex, but very good in its own right.🎉
I loved this film from the moment i first saw it in an "old-movie" theater. After seeing your glimpses from the 4k Blu-Ray, I can't wait to see the restored version.
I just turned it on not knowing anything about it. I could quickly sense the cinematography. It reminded me of Peckinpah. It was beautiful and clear and the Monterey backdrop was perfect.
Just watched it the past couple of nights, for like the 2nd or 3rd time. "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance" is my favorite of all time, this one's right behind it. Brando's acting and direction are amazing and Malden's face is the personification of evil. A far cry from the priest in "On the Waterfront."
I saw One-Eyed Jacks in 1961 after I heard a knucklehead guy in my 9th grade algebra class telling the guy siting next to him about it. I understood it was a western although I didn't clearly hear what he was telling his buddy. It can't be that good, I thought. I had seen The Magnificent Seven the year before and thought it was the best western ever made. I didn't ask him what it was about, just the title, and went to see it the following Saturday. I was mesmerized to the end. The plot, the scenery, Brando's character, the musical score, .lifting it above any western I had ever seen. I left the theater as if in a trance. And I discovered Brando, the greatest actor America has ever had--and followed him until he passed away. Jacks is a truly great and fascinating western unlike any western ever made..
Laughton and Brando - the best, and made one terrific film each. What about Jurado and Wills as supporting actors - superb in this genre. Great comment and analysis.
Saw this first run back in 1961. It seems to have disappeared over the decades, but now it is now making a revival on cable TV. It's a shame westerns have gone by the wayside.
I've sat through this movie on three separate occasions, and believe me, there is nothing over dramatic about it. Lives hang in the balance throughout the film, everyone has plenty of reason to be intense with their emtions. Too long you say? Ni way. This movie is riveting from beginning to end and worth every single moment. It truly stood the test in time as far as I'm concerned and does not seem dated or unrealistic. Again, worth every moment.
Entirely agree, doc, great, great movie that transcends the western genre, much the same as Stagecoach and Shane do. And yet it never or seldom rates on any list of great western movies. Just one point. You say the movie is a tad too long. Well, okay, perhaps. But I always have felt that Rio's time in prison and his escape would have made the story even more powerful.
When I was 13, I stayed up on a Saturday until midnight to watch it on TV. Just when it started my selfish wretched mother made me go to bed! Just watched it and totally agree it is the best western ever made!
There’s a lot of great acting in this movie, but I would point out Katy Jurado (Mrs. Ramirez in “High Noon”) and Ben Johnson, both of whom enriched any movie they appeared in.
I went to see it repeatedly in theaters in LA in the 60s, pretty much memorizing the dialogue. There were a number of us who considered it above and beyond obviously any western. What I've always appreciated is how Malden's character represents a kind of moral descent into corrupt respectability, a metaphor for the transformation of US political culture, run by scoundrels. I actually got to know quite well one of the actors, Timothy Carey, an incredible character but I regre that I never thought of asking him about his experience on One-Eyed Jacks (as a student at UCLA I tried to arrange a projection on campus of Carey's movie, The World's Greatest Sinner, said to be the worst movie ever made, with music by a young Frank Zappa.) Carey talked about both of those movies in an epic interview with right-wing TV host Joe Pyne.
I can't believe this movie was not recognised as a masterpiece on release. I have only met a handful of people who say they have seen it. Everyone one in the film, even the extras are believable. It's as if everyone has raised their game because Brando is directing. It is my favourite movie of all time, indeed a clsssic. Footnote: It is kinda cool being part of the cult following, like a secret we can all cherish.
A measured and magnificent performance from Marlon Brando. Ben Johnson is excellent and Slim Pickens is a standout. You really hate the guy. Karl Malden is really Brilliant, just a great performance. It's been one of my Favourite Westerns since I first saw it when I was a kid back in the early 60s. Never understood how others didn't love it to. So it's no surprise to me that it's finally getting the attention it deserves. Brando was Brilliant.
Loved the movie. Anti Hero is a great assessment. The scene at the poker with Ben Johnson was great, as was the jailbreak scene with Slim Pickens, but also the scene with Reo's partner when he say to Bob Emery one more word out of you and I'm gonna cut you in half, and Johnson says one more word eh, and spells out the word G-R-E-A-S-E-R, and when he tries to shoot Johnson, he laughs at him and holds out a hat full of bullets and says you looking for these, you had a good life Cholo and kills him, there isn't hardly a bad scene in this movie, Excellent and Superb is how I would describe it 👍👍👍👍👍
I had the honor to watch this movie around 1963-4 in my home town Rasht, Iran .the story of this movie stayed with me until a year ago when i was able to watch it at youtube.what was very remembering tool of this movie and lived in me was the special tone of Marlon Brando.Brando and Malden did a perfect job but the bank robbery in Sonora looked very fake since a little bank in a small town des not carry two bags of gold and shere didBrando get money after coming oUT OF JAIL.?
@@LearningaboutMovies Showed! My father was watching! I first looked at it only at the beginning of the 2000s. Delight! But, my father loves "McKenna Gold" more! And I prefer spaghetti westerns! Did you review spaghetti?
He was terrific in Billion Dollar Brain . Directed by Ken Russell . A movie that is brilliant - for about 50 minutes before Ken Russell loses the plot .!
was in a Shakespeare company touring the country back some decades ago, half the cast of Hamlet loved this movie, the female side was not enthusiastic. Brando was always an archetypal alpha man and the example of alpha to so many kids coming up
When MB pulled out the two bullets from his holster to see which one would stay on the hill or leave, we’re both of the bullets full or was one a empty shell. An empty bullet she’ll would probably not be in his holster. So, I’m thinking both bullets were full. This is a very important beat in the story because it shows how MB really felt and trusted KM. I’m curious…
Brando put a bullet in each hand, then tells Malden to choose a hand and "bullet rides" Brando rigged the game in Malden's favor, trusting him to return with a horse,, making the betrayal that much more sinister.
Great movie, however. I think it would have been stronger if it had included a scene where Brando's character and Dad had a conversation about each one's love and hate of the other. That way Dad's death would have been more powerful. If Brando would have been allowed to finish the movie his way maybe we would have that scene.
The actors are ok the story is not great. Background scenes, i like. Sometimes you just want to fall into the movies character and be swept away. not step out of the character to question what he is going to do next, Brando does that. Not great but okay he may have taken critics too serious at this point. May have been emotionally tied in. Just a guess. But I also can see what makes it a good movie too from Tarintinos point of view at that time period. Some directors are skewed one way or another, which is what makes them great directors for a particular audience niche. Saw it again, story is a bit more better. For that time period female actors were probably not liked.
Only thing I didnt get was the love between Rio and Dad's daughter.....she just "fell" in love with him for no reason. ONly part of the movie that wasn't really fleshed out
About 15 years ago, my uncle came by with a dvd that contained a bunch of old westerns on it. He came up with the idea to pick a random movie on the dvd and take a shot/drink anytime they did.

One of greatest westerners for sure
I'm a big Western movie fan but in my opinion it's the best Western ever made. Fantastic photography, acting and directing. Brando's great but Karl Malden and Ben Johnson standout. The romantic scenes are beautifully done.. Thank you Mr Brando.
Overlong and too melodramatic? Not in my book. I love every minute of it.
I don't know about the best Western ever, but I think it's definitely a great one. And just beautifully shot in Monterey, CA.

I watched this movie as a child in Bogota Colombia and no one back then could understand why Brando or Malden did not receive an Oscar or at least a nomination for their acting. I applaud your critic on the movie. Thank you!
wow, thanks.
I must echo your thoughts 👍💯💯👍💯💯♟
Because the Oscars are bullshit.
The finest Brando acting of them all.Pure poetry.
Really enjoyed this one. Brando is electric. Finally this cult classic is getting recognition it warrants. Beautiful criterion collection version
yes! thank you.
I laughed when you said it could be 10 minutes shorter. Brando's first and preferred cut was 5 hours long and I would love to have seen that version!
if you are going to go long, go really long.
This is hands down the greatest western ever made. What makes it even better is it never received the credit it deserved, so there is an elite group of us true "One Eyed Jacks" fans who appreciate the brilliance of this movie.

saw it lin Jan 2024 and LOVED IT!!!
My favorite western of all time, tied with the Searchers. I adore this film so much.😊
“Unforgiven” owes a lot to “One Eyed Jacks.” Karl Malden laid down the blueprint here for Gene Hackman’s character Little Bill.
yes, good call there.
Excellent call
Non movie-lover Mom told me how much she loved "One-Eyed Jacks" several times long before I finally watched the restoration for the first time last year, since the Blu-Ray copy I bought & started to watch was atrocious, Mom God rest her was SO right, it's a great western!
Just watched for first time and hoping it was on RUclips. Can't believe I never heard of this movie. Instant classic for me.
excellent!
I'm at a loss for words. A true masterpiece
Watched this with no expectation, blew me away.
One of my favorites. I also really liked him in The Young Lions.
excellent, thank you.
You have excellent taste. Brando was superb in the Young Lions.
Same here.. this and the young lions are 2 of my favs
One of me al time favourite movies, really underrated movie, and Brando is mesmeric
One of the two best Westerns nobody ever talks about. The other one being "The Big Country".
Spot on for overview. We could go into details about the Great love romance with an extraordinary female soul, who pioneered the Realism method for Mexicans
can't believe you never mentioned Hugo Friedhofer's music score, the themes are beautiful and are in sync with the emotions of the scenes!
I'm sure it's great. Can't mention everything; videos would be hours long.
Sure, you can't mention everything in a short review, but don't forget the music! Try watching this film without sound and you can appreciate the importance of the music to it's success!
That applies to ... everything on film. Sound >=< visuals.
Agreed! The music is one of the most moving and beautiful elements of this film. Have you heard the selections available on RUclips Music?
It’s one of my top five favorite movies I tell a lot of people about it and they’ve never seen it and they watch it and they agree.

To me, it should have won Best Picture & Best Actor (Brando). Top 10 movies of all time. Brando is off the charts great.
yes!
Like a description of Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, One Eyed Jacks is a dream you never want to end
I saw One-Eyed Jacks in 1961 after I heard a knucklehead guy in my 9th grade algebra class telling the guy siting next to him about it.

agreed.

I went to see it repeatedly in theaters in LA in the 60s, pretty much memorizing the dialogue. There were a number of us who considered it above and beyond obviously any western.

I didn’t realize Karl Malden was such a good actor. Brando, of course, is Brando.
Malden was great in everything I have seen him in, and he was in many classics.
He was terrific in Billion Dollar Brain . Directed by Ken Russell .
A movie that is brilliant - for about
50 minutes before Ken Russell loses the plot .!
I agree with Marty
#1 the title
I said it was great when it was first released and all the critics hated it, but then a 1000 critics at the bottom of the ocean, is a start.
Spot on👏👏 Best movie of MB

I cannot think of another male actor who has the presence and power of M. Brando.

maybe but watch shot for shot and compare to Westerns of the time. few do better, imo.
The actors are ok the story is not great. Background scenes, i like. Sometimes you just want to fall into the movies character and be swept away. not step out of the character to question what he is going to do next, Brando does that. Not great but okay he may have taken critics too serious at this point. May have been emotionally tied in. Just a guess. But I also can see what makes it a good movie too from Tarintinos point of view at that time period. Some directors are skewed one way or another, which is what makes them great directors for a particular audience niche. Saw it again, story is a bit more better. For that time period female actors were probably not liked.
thank you
Only thing I didnt get was the love between Rio and Dad's daughter.....she just "fell" in love with him for no reason. ONly part of the movie that wasn't really fleshed out
In the top ten,not the best.
