Editorial Review: Amazon.com: An almost absurdly star-studded cast brings to life Horton Foote's story of prejudice, violence, and frustrated love in The Chase. When Bubber Reeves (Robert Redford) escapes from prison, a drunken party in his hometown turns into a vigilante mob. The news disrupts the birthday celebration of a local oil tycoon (E.G. Marshall), whose son (James Fox) is having an affair with Reeves's wife Anna (Jane Fonda). Meanwhile, a bank vice-president (Robert Duvall) knows his wife (Janice Rule) is cheating on him but can't do anything about it except spread a little misery. The sheriff (Marlon Brando) struggles to hold things together until he can persuade Reeves to give himself up. The accents are thick and the emotions seem overwrought at first, but director Arthur Penn (Bonnie & Clyde, Little Big Man) weaves the multiple storylines together into an unsettling finale. Also featuring Angie Dickinson and Miriam Hopkins. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good item and sellerMuddled but good story. Seemed unable to decide where it was going, but great performances by gret actors make it a keeper. Rating: - "Marlon Brando at his best"I have always been a big fan of Marlon Brando movies and think he was a great actor and this movie shows him at his best. Yes the other actors in the film many of which were big name stars in their own right did well but as in many of Mr. Brandos films his performance made the film. He was truly an awesome screen presence regardless of who else was acting with him. This is a film that many Brando fans missed but is definately worth seeing. Rating:  - A good but uncomfortable movieI have no doubt that my small town in Georgia could have easily been the backdrop of this film forty years ago. Despite that, when I sat down to watch this I thought it was a little slow getting started, but somewhere around the middle you realize that it was necessary to lay the ground work. For the longest time I couldn't believe Redford's character's name was Bubber and not Bubba. Anyhoot, I'm not a Brando fan. Sorry. But I think he's highly overrated and was really famous because he was quite ...

Great DVD.I was fortunate enough to hear Mr. Penns interview about his direction of this film. Set in Texas in the post war era,Horton Footes novel laid a good foundation for this film,updated to the 60's. I read the book,fully expecting to excoriate Ms. Hellman for her work,but I must say she did a fine job of turning a dour and sad story and making it a compelling story about the nature of man under the pressure of his own cconscience.This ... Read More Rating: - Peyton Place with gunsOne of Marlon Brando's best. This is Peyton Place with Guns. One of the best scenarios developed upon the premise of the evil of wagging tongues, jealousy, class envy, and hatred fueled by Friday night party-frenzy and too much booze. One man (Brando's town sheriff) is trying to do the right thing while everyone else is just gone crazy. Jane Fonda (hated her politics, but always loved her acting) is smouldering; Angie Dickinson is smouldering; most of the women are sizzling. The men are cocked and ready ...
