Product Description

Determined single woman Ella Connors (Jane Fonda) struggles to maintain her ranch despite constant attempts by Jacob "J.W." Ewing (Jason Robards), the aging owner of the neighboring ranch, to coerce her into selling. When oil companies begin pressuring both ranchers to allow drilling, Ella's position becomes even more perilous. Though Ella thinks she's scrappy enough to fight them on her own, her chances get better with the arrival of hunky war veteran Frank "Buck" Athearn (James Caan).

    Awesome seller amazing company....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2023
    Having just purchased a Blu Ray version of "Comes a Horseman", my last reservation about this film was eliminated. Years ago, I enjoyed the drama of this film, but the transfer they showed on a premium channel was very disappointing. Never having seen it before, I never imagined what a breathtakingly handsome a movie it was. With scenery to rival George Stevens' "Shane", one can understand why critics were frequently uncomplimentary about it when it was first released. It is not a thrill-a-minute action movie, but often, a stark picture of the hard life of short-handed ranching, and the drama of the ranchers trying to fend off greedy , powerful men who are conniving to rob them of their land. If you are, as I am, one who deeply enjoys the thoughtful depiction of a dark "chess game" of laconic characters in desperate conflict, occasionally relieved by moments of action and violence, you will probably love this show. It has some of the most amazing sequences of the horseback maneuvering of cattle in rough terrain that I have seen in films.

    There aren't enough stars for this movie! Comes a Horseman gained a nomination for Fonda as best actress, but this film actually was Oscar material all the way through.....The story of widowed, Ella Conners (Fonda) working to the bone to keep her ranch afloat just one more day is haunting in it's simplicity and should be appreciated for it's stellar dialog between the characters. The movie is gut wrenching and unforgiving, as Ella and her rugged foreman Dodger, played by Richard Farmsworth fight every hour of the day to eek out a living working cattle. Farmsworth was cast perfectly as the wily, concerned and trail hardened teacher of Ella who now has to shoulder the chores and concerns of running a failing ranch. When her ranch and life are threatened by wealthy rancher, Jacob Ewing, and Dodger is hurt in a questionable accident, she turns to neighbor, Frank Athearn played by James Cann. Together they battle Ewing through stampedes, sabotage and attacks and in turn find a deep understanding love. In my opinion Cann plays the roll of his lifetime. Even the pauses in his speech fill emotional volumes. He is the understanding and non-judgemental man that Ella needs in her life to help her thru the trauma of her young life and former association with Ewing. He is the stable low keyed man who silently wiggles his way into Ellas' heart. This film has all the adventure of the day to day grind of a ranch but what stands out is the quiet talks between Frank and Ella. I can't say enough about Jane Fonda and James Cann's acting, it is over the top. Comes a Horseman is an slow emotional rugged movie that will appeal to both men and women.

    I chose 3 stars, not because this wasn't a great movie, but because of the DVD video quality, not nearly what I thought it should be. I still have many non Blu ray movies that up- convert nicely with my BD player, this one did not, it was like watching a VHS movie.

    I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. I enjoyed the scenery. The Blu-ray version does not seem to bring that out on my monitor as well. It has Jane Fonda as the main female actress. I know some people have an issue with her and therefore they probably would not enjoy it

    Always have loved this movie and yes I have always loved Jane as hardened independent Ela trying to hold onto her ranch with just an old man to help out. She plays this role to the hilt.

    I saw this movie in 1979 and was drawn to the beauty of the high country and the setting of a modern western with the trials of one woman and her will to keep her ranch. The scenery is spectacular on the scope of a Kevin Costner western. I highly recommend this movie even if you have a negative attitude toward Jane Fonda. NCSI's Mark Harmon has a bit part in the movie wearing a tall brow cowboy hat, I guess that was the style back then. Jason Robards gives a outstanding role as the one who wants the ranch. I think you won't be dissapointed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars interessanter Film
    Reviewed in Germany on December 5, 2008
    eigentlich habe ich den Film nur gekauft, weil in einer mailing-liste erwähnt wurde, dass man vermutlich einen Australian Shepherd als Helfer an einer Rinderherde sehen würde.

    Die Szene ist so kurz, dass ich bis heute nicht sagen kann, ob's ein Aussie ist oder nicht. Aber der Film hat mich dann ganz von selbst in Bann gezogen. Ranchleben nach dem 2. Weltkrieg, die Mühen einer allein lebenden Frau, ihre Ranch über Wasser zu halten, tolle Landschaftsaufnahmen, sehr gute Szenen zur Arbeit mit den halbwilden Rindern und dann auch noch prima Schauspieler.....

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un vrai western, mais sans indiens, et situé dans les années 40.
    Reviewed in France on January 26, 2025
    Un western situé dans les années 40, cela inquiète un peu. Mais avec Jane Fonda, cela rassure. Le film est un peu lent à démarrer, mais il se bonifie rapidement, et l'affaire des terres, de l'élevage, et même du pétrole, s'enrichit d'une mystérieuse "love affair", ou plutôt d'un épisode (sexuel) jadis malheureux, comme oublié, et qui a des conséquences tardives fort lourdes. Courage et résistance, rivalités, intrigue même ; séquestration, incendie, évasion, et tirs directs. Entre film noir et western. Tourné aux USA. Vive les Fonda ! Et Jane est toujours fondante !
