The Appaloosa
Canadian born Sidney J. Furie directed this lightweight but entertaining horse opera right after his box office success with The Ipcress File in 1965. Marlon Brando plays a rancher on the trail of his stolen Appaloosa and John Saxon (a Golden Globe nominee) is Chuy Medina, the scurvy bandito who abducted the pony. Anjanette Comer plays Medina’s kept woman whose beauty complicates the plot in predictable fashion.

About Daniel Kremer
San Francisco filmmaker Daniel Kremer has provided audio commentary tracks for Kino Lorber, Shout! Factory, AGFA, and Scorpion disc releases, and essays for Twilight Time special editions. His acclaimed epic-length film Overwhelm the Sky (2019), adapted from a 1799 American Gothic novel, was screened internationally in classic roadshow format, complete with overture, intermission, and printed souvenir programs. These deluxe screenings received many accolades before Kino Lorber acquired distribution rights. Kremer's book Sidney J. Furie: Life and Films was published through Patrick McGilligan's Screen Classics Series in 2015. He is currently under contract at Oxford University Press for the first book about Joan Micklin Silver.
