    Storyline

    Edit
    Most everyone in town thinks that Sheriff Calder is merely a puppet of rich oil-man Val Rogers. When it is learned that local baddie Bubber Reeves has escaped prison, Rogers' son is concerned because he is having an affair with Reeves' wife. It seems many others in town feel they may have reasons to fear Reeves. Calder's aim is to bring Reeves in alive, unharmed. Calder will have to oppose the powerful Rogers on one hand and mob violence on the other, in his quest for justice. —Buxx Banner <bux572@aol.com>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Marlon Brando did not like the part of Sheriff Calder and complained that all he did in the picture was wander around. He began referring to himself as "The Old Lamplighter".
    • Goofs
      Every locomotive seen in railroad scenes is diesel powered, but all sounds are from steam locomotive whistles. Diesels use horns, not whistles.
    • Quotes

      Damon: Well now, Sheriff, it's nice to know that you're out here on patrol.

      Sheriff Calder: No, no, I'm not on patrol. Just lookin' for an ice cream cone, that's all.

    7/10
    Highly underrated picture.
    "The Chase" is a powerful and underrated drama. It has most of the ingredients that are required for a solid dramatic picture: exceptional acting (particularly by Brando), careful directing, well-drawn characters and good production values. The first half meanders a little, but in the second half the tension mounts and the film becomes constantly more and more involving and moving. So why does it have such a low reputation? Maybe because of all those reported production problems. But who cares? They're certainly not evident in the film! Recommended for mature viewers.
