La recensione su Orizzonti lontani

di Neve Che Vola

6 stelle

Western per famiglie, con buoni sentimenti (e non lo dico per dispregiarlo).

Può vantare alcune scene ben girate, una buona interpretazione di attori che vedo sempre volentieri, e soprattutto sull'esibizione canora di Virginia Mayo che canta "I Leaned on a Man", una canzone che non mi stancherò mai di ascoltare e che mi sembra una vera chicca.

Liriche:

I leaned on a man who told me to call him friend.
(Call me friend, Call me friend, Call me friend)
I leaned on a man who swore hed never bend.
(hed never bend, hed never bend, hed never bend)

I cried out:" Im drownin; take hold of my hand",
He took it and shoved me back under again.
I leaned on a man but he bent like a reed in the wind.

I found me a man I thought I could trust at last.
(at last, at last, at last)
I leaned on a man and he bent like a blade of grass,
(Grass)
He promised love till the day he would die,
In twenty four hours his body walked by,
I leaned on a man and he bent like a blade of grass,

I said to myself; a woman must stand alone,
(stand alone, stand alone)
The girl who will last is a girl with a will of stone
(Have a will, have a will, like stone)

Sometimes it was rough but I never gave in,
Till I met the devil and wrestled (wrastled) with sin,
Then I burned then I bent like the flame of a match in the wind.

So I called on the Lord and the Lord said well have a talk,
(Have a talk)
If you lean on me mam youll find Im like a rock,
(Rock)

Pay heed to me stranger whoever you may be,
Lean on the lord and youll find out like me:
He stands like a rock,
Why dont you have a talk with the Lord?

Sull'interpretazione di Virginia Mayo Bellissima, dimostra anche una buona capacità di interprete musicale (credo sia proprio lei a cantare la canzone). [Edit: vedi commenti al proposito].

Sulla colonna sonora Molto bella, i temi ritornano ogni tanto in diversa forma.
