The Brave Bulls

Good heavens, Anthony Quinn is handsome! If only he were the lead in The Brave Bulls instead of Mel Ferrer. There's nothing wrong with Mel when he's on his own, but up against Tony, there's no contest. I could barely pay attention when Tony was on the screen, and I certainly couldn't listen to anything Mel had to say when he was standing right next to him. Ladies, for some serious eye candy, but a pretty lousy movie, rent The Brave Bulls. For some serious eye candy in a good movie, try The Naked Street instead.

Mel plays a bullfighter, and Tony's his manager. While they're pretty good friends, when they both fall for the same girl, Miroslava, their friendship and working relationship is tested. Throw in a bunch of bullfighting scenes with Mel Ferrer's stunt double, and you've got a movie. Mel never really comes across as a very strong man anyway, and paired against Tony, he doesn't stand a chance. A rather weak hero isn't very easy to root for, especially when there's someone else ready in the wings.
