Title: Voor Sononder (1962) Post by: Trevor on December 01, 2015, 07:37:55 AM South Africa's first Afrikaans language western: the title translates as either By Sundown / Before Sundown.
Quite a hit in its' first release, this film tells the story of a small town in South Africa which is held to ransom by a bunch of thugs just after the conclusion of the Anglo Boer War in 1902. These thugs - loyal to the British powers in charge of South Africa at the time - get their collective rear ends handed to them by a local hothead and a drifter, who when not fighting the British or punching the crap out of each other :buggedout: , vie for the fair hand of their mutual lovely lady friend. I loved the ending of this where the young hothead rides away into the sunset, leaving his friend / love rival to smooch his lady friend. :teddyr: (http://media2.takealot.com/takealot/covers/8978999/cover-zoom.jpg?1328603340) |
