This film shows that Elvis had the ability to act beyond the "typical Elvis" boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl movies that Col. Parker set up for him. Knowing that Col. Parker denied him opportunities to move forward in a career he loved is sad. "Charro" is every bit as good as any Clint Eastwood "Oater" western that flooded the movies. I read that Elvis was up for a part in "The Rainman" and "A Star Is Born", and both scripts were denied not by Elvis but by Col. Parker. It makes you wonder what might have happened had that road not been blocked. I loved Elvis when he was the new and bright star to a 14 year old teen who had to sneak out of the house to him in concert in Chicago. I still love him and introduce him through music and movies to my 10 grandchildren. Charro is a good movie and you can tell Elvis is having a really good time doing something he really loves.

Charro
The Movie
Here we have Elvis as a gunfighter in the old west. Now let it be said that I am not a big fan of the king but if u read my other reviews I love westerns, that said here we have a very good western. So good in fact I have been disappointed he didn't make another. He plays Jess Wade who is falsely accused of stealing a Golden cannon and goes in search of the band really responsible. You will notice that Victor French known to most of us as Mr. Edwards from Little House on the Prairie plays a very good villain in this tale of betrayal and love. Of course there a love interest Tracie Winters played by Ina Balin.
The Video
Here where they fixed it, the first DVD release of this movie was horrid. It jumped it faded in and out it was orange and tainted. This release fixed it, It has a touch of grain but lets be honest this wasn't a movie they expected to be a hit let alone be around 39 years later so they didn't try and preserve it. Al in all its very watch able as I am doing so on a 42 inch Hitachi plasma TV playing thru the HDMI on a Sony 400 disc DVD changer, It doesn't jump at all it is remastered.
The Audio
Here it is mono 1.0 but it was shot n 1969 so they weren't thinking 7.1 digital surround sound...lol. I have it running thru a 1000 watt Sony surround sound system. There is no hiss no distortion the music is loud crisp and clear the voices are steady and clear awesome for mono.
The Extras
The Theatrical Trailer
Here is where a lot of these DVD lose out not that I really want to see the trailer but if your going to give it too us at least remaster it so its clear. Its not really worth watching but its there.

You need to remember it was filmed in 1969 and don't think about all the other movies Elvis starred in. He only sings during the opening credits. His manager should have given him a chance to become a serious actor that he would have been good at. I wish I had purchased this movie years ago. We've already watched it five times since receiving it.
Not Only A Great Elvis Film, But A Great Western August 10, 2007

Elvis Presley goes west in what is one of his best film performances. Jess Wade is accused of stealing a 100,000 gold cannon. He is betrayed by his friends, and ultimately the town that he is trying to protect.
In the era of spaghetti westerns and great american westerns, Charro! truly ranks as one of the absolute best. It has great scenery, music, and action, contributing to a very entertaining 98 minutes.
As a fan of Elvis, I really feel like this film shows exactly what a talent that he was. For other great performances make sure to watch Jailhouse Rock, Flaming Star, Wild In The Country, Love Me Tender, and Loving You. Highly Recommended!
