His three Bond pictures (<strong><em>Doctor<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>No<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>From Russia with Love<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>Thunderball<\/em><\/strong>) had barely an atom of personality, and it would be charitable to describe <strong><em>The Poppy Is Also a Flower<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Triple Cross<\/em><\/strong> as mediocre. The finale of <strong><em>Wait Until Dark<\/em><\/strong> got suitably scary but the whole lacked what marks the best of its type, that sense of pushing us into horror and permitting no escape; its structure was slack enough for the gaps in logic to show. Young tried his hand outside his usual range: In his remake of <strong><em>Mayerling<\/em><\/strong>, the costumes and furnishings upstaged the actors; <strong><em>The Christmas Tree<\/em><\/strong> was an inept tearjerker. <strong><em>Red Sun<\/em><\/strong> (National General) puts him back on familiar ground \u2014 an amiable, bloated Western you would probably not hate yourself in the morning for seeing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6434 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-2.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Bronson, Ursula Andress, Toshir\u00f4 Mifune and Alain Delon in Red Sun\" width=\"850\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-2.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-2-600x392.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-2-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-2-768x501.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The plot doesn\u2019t bend over backwards to be credible, but any excuse for fitting Toshiro Mifune into a Western is a good one. A gang of outlaws attacks a train which happens to be carrying the Japanese ambassador and his two samurai bodyguards. Gauche (Alain Delon), the leader of the bandits, takes a ceremonial sword intended as a gift for the President and shoots one of the samurai. Kuroda (Mifune), the remaining bodyguard, is given seven days to recover the sword; if he fails, he and the ambassador must commit hara-kiri. Kuroda and Link (Charles Bronson), a gunfighter Gauche has doublecrossed, are forced by circumstances into a curious, mutually distasteful arrangement. Link knows the terrain; if he tries to leave, Kuroda will kill him. Kuroda views the hunt as a matter of honor \u2014 to regain the sword and kill the man who murdered his friend, not necessarily in that order. Link is interested only in the money. If you have seen as many as five Westerns, the resolution of the story should not surprise you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6433 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ursula Andress in Red Sun\" width=\"850\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-1-600x325.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-1-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-1-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main problems in <strong><em>Red Sun<\/em><\/strong> involve its air of expense and respectability. The quirky tone of the better Italian Westerns, a mixture of wide-eyed, childlike awe at the Western conventions and an awareness of their essential silliness, would help this film. <strong><em>Red Sun<\/em><\/strong> would be more engaging if it seemed to realize how mechanical and absurd it is; it has no pretensions to seriousness, but it does take itself seriously. And it passes up very few clich\u00e9s. The two enemies sworn to kill each other who band together to fight off the Indians, the spunky heroine who is captured by the savages, the adversaries who gradually come to respect each other \u2014 they\u2019re all here, and more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6435 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-3.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Bronson in Red Sun\" width=\"850\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-3-600x325.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-3-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-3-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Given the apparent budget, some of the film\u2019s technical aspects disappoint. The pacing is dreadful, numerous scenes are padded shamelessly, and the editing of the final battle is both conventional and confusing. The Technicolor work of Henri Alekan (who shot Cocteau\u2019s poetic <strong><em>Beauty and the Beast<\/em><\/strong> in 1946) is uneven, but the palette is nicely understated. One would have to be extremely dull not to appreciate the contrasts and wit in the characters\u2019 costumes \u2014 the heroine\u2019s carefully torn pink shirt and dark red pants, Kuroda\u2019s steel-blue kimono, Gauche\u2019s classic white shirt \/ black suit gambler\u2019s attire. Maurice Jarre\u2019s music is a ghastly reminder of the symphonic slush that was used for Westerns in the pre-Morricone days.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6436 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-4.jpg\" alt=\"Toshir\u00f4 Mifune in Red Sun\" width=\"850\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-4-600x325.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-4-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-4-768x416.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite these flaws and others, <strong><em>Red Sun<\/em><\/strong> is more or less enjoyable because of the actors. Mifune\u2019s glowering samurai portrayal is justly famous, but I\u2019m of two minds about it. He is splendidly versatile, but has been asked for the same thing too often; yet because of the pitiful foreign film distribution over here, we aren\u2019t able to see him nearly often enough. So I am glad <strong><em>Red Sun<\/em><\/strong> exists, even though Mifune does nothing in it he hasn\u2019t done to greater point and impact on his home ground. The swordfighting moves he executes are exciting, as always, with their choreographic grace and explosiveness. Likewise, Bronson\u2019s roguish opportunist is old hat for him; he and Mifune combine most amusingly, and the movie is at its best when it depends on the interplay between their contrasting performances.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6437 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-5.jpg\" alt=\"Ursula Andress and Alain Delon in Red Sun\" width=\"850\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-5.jpg 850w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-5-600x323.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-5-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelingboy.com\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Red-Sun-5-768x413.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Delon is often ill at ease outside gangster (or cop) roles, and compared to what Mifune and Bronson provide here, his blue-eyed menace comes up short \u2014 not in the same weight class.
