Timbuktu
Jacques Tourneur, Fearmaker
December 14, 2018 - January 3, 2019
Victor Mature is an international gunrunner playing both sides in the conflict between France and rebel tribes in West Africa in this pleasurably pulpy desert adventure.
Tourneur’s penultimate Hollywood film is a pleasurably pulpy desert adventure starring Victor Mature as an every-man-for-himself American gunrunner playing both sides in the conflict between France and rebel tribes in West Africa. Along the way there is plenty of preposterous he-man dialogue, a Casablanca-style romance with French commander’s wife Yvonne De Carlo, and some creative, effectively skin-crawling sadism involving poison spiders. In spite of the film’s camp trappings, Tourneur’s distinctive touch is apparent in the arid, oddly barren visuals, lending the film a detached, otherworldly quality.
