Gold of the Seven Saints

this is a fantastic movie, roger moore and clint walker are incredible, highly reccomed!

Clint Walker is a wonderful actor and this movie is wholesome, no vulgar language, no taking off of clothes. Recommend this movie.

Down through the years, the last 5 or so anyway, I have recorded several VHS tapes of this movie, cannot figure out 'why' no DVD has yet been issued. Same goes for another Clint Walker western FORT DOBBS (1958), almost makes you wonder what Warner Bros. have against ole Clint. Maybe walking off the set of Cheyenne fifty some years back still rankles Warner Bros. Gordon Douglas directed all three movies, FORT DOBBS, YELLOWSTONE KELLY (1959), and GOLD OF THE SEVEN SAINTS and as noted not one of these fine westerns has ever been released on DVD. This movie comes from the 1957 western novel DESERT GUNS written by Steve Frazee, with the movie (1961) and book being fairly different. I think so much of the movie that I tracked down the book (which can be kinda hard to find) wishing to see how much variance there is between the two. Well for instance, Rainbolt is 26 years old in the book yet Shawn is in his 50s. Anyone seeing the movie will know right off that neither Clint nor Roger are portrayed like that. Also at book's ending Rainbolt rides off with a female. Just a couple of differences, there are several more. One other for instance: Roger Moore is tied with wet rawhide in the movie, but in the book it is Rainbolt completely wrapped in wet hide so all the victim can view is the sky. Another aspect to this western film is the performance that rings down the years from veteran actor Chill Wills, his portrayal of Doctor Wilson Gates is one that will remain with most viewers. You really come to appreciate him as the film rolls on. However, to me the movie is superior to the book. Probably because I saw it first and read the book later. Last words would be: watch the movie because it is an interesting story filled with adventure very well portrayed by Clint and Roger. The black and white photography (Joseph F. Biroc) adds a stark reality that color might not have captured as well. The location (Arches National Park, Utah) of the movie also adds to the panorama of the scenes and the story itself. I have several favorite western movies and this is one of them, if you watch the movie it may become one of yours as well. Clint Walker-Jim Rainbolt Roger Moore-Shawn Garrett Leticia Roman-Tita, Gondora's 'ward' Robert Middleton-Amos Gondora Chill Wills-Doctor Wilson Gates Gene Evans-McCracken and others Semper Fi.

This is a must have for all western classic lovers. Congratulations to Warner Archives for doing a great job & bringing back all the great movies from the 50's & 60's. In fact, I've enjoyed Clint Walker from the famous 'Cheyenne' tv series. It's great to see him in action again but this time, he's playing a different role thus he has a partner, none other than Roger Moore from the great James Bond movies in the eighties. It's an absolute fun to watch two great actors together in a western adventure filled with danger, excitement & a little bit of humor to stir things up. Apparently, it is in black & white but it's still a great watch, it would be fantastic to watch them in color. I strongly recommend this DVD to all.

This is a western type movie about 2 fur trapping partners who discover gold. They're on their way to civilization to redeem their gold when Roger decides to steal a horse and gets caught. To avoid being shot he pays for the animal with a gold nugget. That's all it takes for every thief and robber in Mexico to give chase. In the end, they end up no better off than they began, but they had some adventures getting there. The bath scene with Clint Walker being scrubbed down by the pretty senorita is worth the price of admission alone!

I received the dvd on time , clear seal & enveloped packaged nice & neat , I played it in my pc's dvd player , played perfectly , it's a great film , I'd never seen it before = It is a perfect addition to anyones western or Clint Walker film collection's . The film is a wonderful find in all of Clint's films he's made. 5 stars an I will be buying from seller again in the future.

I did enjoy this but think it was over rated. Good to see Roger Moore in his early days. I understand why he did not make many westerns.

Clint Walker is a rugged cowboy with his partner, a young Roger moore, travel the west to protect their gold, but are trailed by some desperatos..yes, its in Black and white. I got the widesceen version and its great. By the way if you have a thing for Clint, he take one heck of a bath!

Nice Fine Looking Western About a couple of Gold prospectors searching for Gold in The Utah Desert along The way They encounter Bandits Danger and Beautiful Girls. This is one of Those Movies were The casting is unique we Have Clint Walker no stranger To The western as TVs Cheyenne and Roger Moore There you go you would not expect To see Mr Moore in an action packed western But here he is handling Himself in style alongside Clint Walker Though it should be noted Moore Had done a stint on The western series Maverick But To see Him in a full blown Hollywood western movie is a rare Treat. Roger Moore made a Number of fine movies in His early Days in Hollywood Gold Of The Seven Saints is one of Them But he never quite really made The impact He Deserved. it was not untill Moore returned To England To star in The TV series The Saint That He really propelled Himself To stardom and of course Never looked back. The Disc comes with The movie alone filmed in black & white The print and sound are crisp and clear you will probarly buy This Because you are a western buff or you like Clint Walker or you are a Roger Moore fan. For whatever reason you will enjoy This movie.

I first saw this film back in 1961 and have always wanted to catch up with it again. Sadly not available on Region 2 so I had to buy an American copy. Luckily, I already own a Region 1 player (well worth investing in and quite cheap if you want to view films not available in the UK). Not the greatest Western, but one I recall with nostalgia, and worth watching to see Roger Moore in his earlier career. Dependable Clint Walker and a pair of fine villainous types in Chill Wills and Gene Evans all add to the enjoyment. Shot by Warner Bros in black and white, it makes a worthy addition to the western genre, if not exactly one of the classics. Also worth watching for the scenery. Pity they couldn't have filmed it in colour!

Better than I thought it would be.

good film
