      Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Arguably the best of many screen versions, Fleming's 1929 film was instrumental in shaping Gary Cooper's screen image and in maintaining the Western mythology, specifically the contrast between East and West culture. Rated: B+ Dec 30, 2008 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A landmark film, that helped define the Western hero as the mythical chivalrous man.

      Steve D Predictable and with a lazy resolution. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The best movie character ever portrayed: Gary Cooper as the title character!
