Charro starring Elvis Presley September 11, 2008

This was the only movie Elvis did not sing in but I loved everything he ever did so it was great. Yes some of his movies were corny but I want them all on DVD. I think he was a great actor.

Elvis' best Western movie! August 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This western saga finds Jess Wade (Elvis Presley) as a reformed gunfighter who is stalked and captured by his former band of outlaws. Presley sings only one song (the title track, heard over the opening credits) in the last dramatic role of his career. The feature has the look and feel of the popular spaghetti westerns of the time. This 1969 western would be one of Elvis' finest acting performances on screen, as he gets the chance to actually play it straight without having to break into a song every minute or so. Previous VHS releases of this film, including one issued by Warner Home Video in 1990, were of very bad quality, showing very poor picture images and unnecessary edits through certain spots. This 2007 DVD version finally clears things up, once and for all. The film is presented in its entirety in the original widescreen letterbox format, allowing the viewer to see how good it really is. The image is the most pristine version of all. If you are a fan of westerns, then this one is for you. If you are a fan of Elvis, you will not be disappointed. If you're in the mood for a great Elvis Western, look no further than 'Charro!' - A different kind of role, a different kind of man.

What can I say. I like most all of Elvis movies. Charro, was one of his better movies. And of course I love all his music.

Elvis/ Charro September 15, 2007

Even if it is a knock off of a Clint Eastwood flick I still enjoyed the movie, As a long time fan of Elvis it was good to see him in a film where he didn't sing. I'm like a lot of others if he would have been able to star in a Star Is Born Elvis would still be with us. Anyway I think you will enjoy the movie if you like westerns.

The Movie
Here we have Elvis as a gunfighter in the old west. Now let it be said that I am not a big fan of the king but if u read my other reviews I love westerns, that said here we have a very good western. So good in fact I have been disappointed he didn't make another. He plays Jess Wade who is falsely accused of stealing a Golden cannon and goes in search of the band really responsible. You will notice that Victor French known to most of us as Mr. Edwards from Little House on the Prairie plays a very good villain in this tale of betrayal and love. Of course there a love interest Tracie Winters played by Ina Balin.

The Video
Here where they fixed it, the first DVD release of this movie was horrid. It jumped it faded in and out it was orange and tainted. This release fixed it, It has a touch of grain but lets be honest this wasn't a movie they expected to be a hit let alone be around 39 years later so they didn't try and preserve it. Al in all its very watch able as I am doing so on a 42 inch Hitachi plasma TV playing thru the HDMI on a Sony 400 disc DVD changer, It doesn't jump at all it is remastered.

The Audio
Here it is mono 1.0 but it was shot n 1969 so they weren't thinking 7.1 digital surround sound...lol. I have it running thru a 1000 watt Sony surround sound system. There is no hiss no distortion the music is loud crisp and clear the voices are steady and clear awesome for mono.

The Extras
The Theatrical Trailer
Here is where a lot of these DVD lose out not that I really want to see the trailer but if your going to give it too us at least remaster it so its clear. Its not really worth watching but its there.
