The Chase
1966 - 135 min. - Color
Genre: Drama

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Lillian Hellman adapted this melodrama about a sin-ridden Texas town from the novel and play by Horton Foote. The cast is full of top-notch actors, including Marlon Brando, E.G. Marshall, Robert Duvall, James Fox, Jane Fonda, and Robert Redford. The story concerns a small Texas town that is turned upside down by panic when word comes of escaped convict and all-around bad man Bubba Reeves's planned return. It seems nearly everyone in town has a reason to fear Bubba. As the evil Bubba Reeves approaches, tensions reach a breaking point among the supposedly decent, law-abiding citizens. His wife is cheating on him with the son of the local oil tycoon. The oil tycoon has the sheriff in his pocket. The corrupt banker wants revenge on his young, nymphomaniac wife. The sheriff must capture Bubba and deliver him to justice while keeping him from the hands of the powerful oil tycoon and the lynch rope of the town mob. A social critique of the late 1960s, THE CHASE offers a poignant look into the subjects of gun control, abuse of power, sexual promiscuity, jealousy, greed, justice, and mob mentality. THE CHASE is considered by many to be a landmark achievement in American filmmaking. Marlon Brando also delivers what is thought to be one of his last great performances.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
All hell breaks loose in a Texas town when an escaped convict heads home in Arthur Penn's Southern gothic melodrama. Appointed by local kingpin Val Rogers (E. G. Marshall), benevolent Sheriff Calder (Marlon Brando) manages to keep the peace in Tarl, but the situation starts to fester one Saturday when news filters in that wild child Bubber Reeves (Robert Redford) has jumped prison. Bubber's impending arrival arouses hostility among Tarl's citizens, such as Edwin Stewart (Robert Duvall), who believes that Bubber will come after him to settle an old score, and Damon Puller (Richard Bradford), who, between grope sessions with Edwin's wife Emily (Janice Rule), uses Bubber as an excuse to terrorize black residents. As the atmosphere heats up, Calder wants to keep Bubber alive, and he convinces Bubber's wife Anna (Jane Fonda) and her lover, Val's son Jake (James Fox), to find Bubber and coax him into surrender. Val's fear that Bubber will kill his son, however, sparks a long confrontation that leaves rational law and order pummeled into the ground by the town's ignorant cruelty. Lucia Bozzola

Scripted by Lillian Hellman from Horton Foote's novel and play, The Chase's story of how fear of youth and distrust of the liberal Calder unhinge a small-minded community became an allegory of cultural disintegration after the 1963 Kennedy assassination. In this hothouse atmosphere, traditional institutions of law and marriage fall prey to decadence and racism. Following a shoot marred by struggles for creative control, producer Sam Spiegel took the film away from Penn during editing, apparently leaving the best of Brando's performance on the cutting room floor. Penn disowned The Chase, swearing off filmmaking until Warren Beatty cajoled him into making another timely movie pitting young rebels against society's repression: the landmark Bonnie and Clyde (1967). With this history, The Chase stands as a sign of incipient upheaval in both 1960s Hollywood and 1960s American culture. Lucia Bozzola
