Buck and the Preacher

Buck and the Preacher

Widely regarded at the time of its release as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with a social conscience, BUCK AND THE PREACHER is an immensely satisfying Western which marked Sidney Poitier's directorial debut, as well as his first screen pairing with superstar Harry Belafonte. Poitier stars as Buck, an ex-Union Army Cavalry sergeant who becomes a scout for freed slaves heading to the Colorado frontier. Tagging along with him are his wife (Ruby Dee in a scene-stealing performance) and a Bible-thumping con artist known as the Preacher (Belafonte). Attacked by racist bounty hunters determined to return the former slaves to a life of sharecropping in Louisiana, Buck and his followers must summon all the courage they have in order to reach their destination and help settle the Wild West.

The other being "Little Big Man" - you gotta admit, referring to the Buffalo Soldiers as. "the Black White man" before most people even knew that the Buffalo Soldiers existed is both clever and brilliant.
Both films, from the very early 1970's, deal with realities of the Old West that got whitewashed by Hollywood in order to... Now how did Ian Anderson put it about the unsung Western hero? If ya don't kno, you need 2 kno!

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Action Packed, Great Acting and Cast. Great Film.

I really enjoyed watching this film. I am a fan of good western films and this selection from Criterion did not disappoint. Sydney Poiter and Harry Belafonte did a great job working together in this film.

My only critique is that the ending could have been better. The film starts out strong and continues to build up during the middle of the film; then toward the end it abruptly ends with somewhat of an anticlimactic final shootout. This is one of those films that for some reason I enjoyed watching the beginning more than the end. I still am giving it 4 stars due to the story line and the acting. The transfer and audio were fantastic, and the film looks great. Colors are very vibrant and crisp for a film that was made in the 1970's.

All in all; a fantastic addition to the collection. If you are a fan of westerns or action movies in general, you should definitely check this one out!

This movie is a classic on so many levels. First, it is a good old fashion cowboy movie. Second, It stars, Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee, and Sidney Poitier. Third, it does a masterful job of introducing diversity. If for some reason you missed this movie when it was first released or you simply are seeking an action-packed exceptional movie, by all means, this is the movie for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars L'originalité dun western anticonfortiste
Reviewed in France on August 27, 2023

Voilà un western des années 70 que j'ai découvert et que j'ai apprécié pour l'interprétation de ce sympathique duo d'acteurs et l'originalité de son scénario. Sidney POITIER et Harry BELAFONTE sont deux personnes remarquables du cinéma américain que j'ai eu plaisir à suivre dans cette aventure aux multiples rebondissements. Un western surprenant et anticonformiste, où l'on sent bien la patte de ces deux acteurs engagés à défendre des valeurs universelles au cinéma comme dans la vraie vie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pour l'info.
Reviewed in France on July 31, 2020

Film un peu particulier (pas forcément top), mais sur un sujet pratiquement jamais traité, et qui devait l'être.
La vie (survie), des noirs en Amérique et leur tentative d'exister. Leur "liberté", après la guerre Nord/Sud.
Un Harry Belafonte à la bouche "gâtée". (A cause de cela, on peine à le reconnaître).
Images rares de cette bouche dégoûtante, mais bien dans l'idée de l'horreur de la "race inférieure" dans un pays où, même des années après (voir "les visiteurs" avec Reno/Clavier), cette idée de "dents pourries" n'est pas passée.
Elle stigmatise le "sale", ce qui ne peut être...Surtout qu'ils n'y sont pas allés avec le dos de la cuillère, question hygiène dentaire...Beurk !
