Product Description

When "Bubber" Reeves (Robert Redford, The Sting) escapes from prison, it upsets the folks in the nearby town of Tarl, Texas. Sheriff Calder (Marlon Brando, The Godfather) wants to capture Reeves alive, which puts him in opposition to many of the townspeople who have resorted to mob justice. Businessman Val Rogers (E.G. Marshall, 12 Angry Men) wants Calder to apprehend Reeves quickly, through any means, since he fears the criminal will come after Val's son, Jake, who is sleeping with Reeves' wife (Jane Fonda, 9 To 5).

For some reason this movie is only rarely shown on television even though it has one of the greatest casts ever assembled.
Marlon Brando plays the reluctant, disillusioned, sheriff of a small southern town where the townsfolk party like maniacs and have so little respect for the law that several of them enjoy beating up the sheriff within an inch of his life. So many of the men in the town are rabid racists that it is uncomfortable and disturbing to watch at times. Pretty boy Robert Redford as "Bubba Reeves" escapes from prison, but he somehow never looks very uncomfortable, even though he has nothing but the prison clothes on his back. Come on Mr. Redford, at least get a little dirty and hungry once in a while! The crazy out of control townsfolk make a party and a celebration of hunting down the escaped convict. They bring so many roman candles to the huge junkyard of wrecked cars where "Bubba" is hiding that it is turned into a giant inferno. That is pretty exciting to watch.Those people are quite immoral and lecherously chase each other's wives around during a wild drunken decadent party. It is a sad commentary on human behavior indeed, but go ahead and check it out anyway for the great cast.

I wish they would not charge you to watch it. I paid to watch it then Tubi had it for free.

"The Chase" is a letdown only if you consider the starpower in front of and behind the camera. If I'm not mistaken, there was notorious wrangling behind the scenes between director Arthur Penn, scriptwriter Lillian Hellman, and producer Sam Spiegel. Usually when you have that kind of backstage melodrama the result on the screen is a mess of a film. That's not the case with "The Chase". The film deliberately takes it's time establishing the psychological make-up of the small sleepy town. Inject into that the word that the town's least favorite son has escaped from the pen and fireworks erupt. The lead up to the explosive finale is thrilling but lacks the resonance to make "The Chase" a classic film. See the film for the terrific performances not the least from star Marlon Brando in a laidback performance that isn't the least bit method as the town sheriff trying to keep the cork on the potential exploding powderkeg. Robert Redford as the escaped con and Jane Fonda as his cheating spouse give performances to suggest the better things to come. Also noteworthy is Robert Duvall and Janice Rule as a cuckold and his promiscuous spouse.

6 stars to Marissa's Books and Gifts. They shipped a 2nd dvd when USPS mistakenly returned the 1st to Salt Lake City. And the packaging was extra nice, not at all cheap. Nice big dvd case.

Great, great cast. But one of my least favorite Brando movies.

I saw this movie when I was very,very young (and so were the stars) and now have the DVD.
I believe this to be a very UNDER RATED MOVIE.
The acting is superb all the way around and the story is magnificent.Color barriers (black,white,spanish{Mexican})infidelity,jailbreak,rich and middle class and poor all come to a climatic boiling point end that was magnifically casted.
Might as well call it an all star cast,because the great Marlon Brando has great syar company such as Robert Redford,E.G. Marshall,Jane Fonda,Robert Duvall(who later teams w/Brando for Godfather)are just a few of the great acting that should make this movie among the great.Oh,I forgot that Angie Dickinson is also in it.
Some faces will also look familiar to many as a couple of these actors end up on Star Trek the original as bad guys.For those who collect DVDs of movies from the 50s will recognize some actors from that decade putting on a little age.What i am saying is it is a group of all great actors and a suspensful story.

I have seen this movie over my lifetime since it came out in the 60’s in my youth. Although I’m no fan of Jane Fonda and her underhanded betrayal of our POW’s during the Viet Nam war , I soon forgot about her and enjoyed this movie once again. Just like I remember it !

This is great soap. It was panned as a film with a great cast and a poor screenplay. That's true, but I still like it because of the cast. IT is directed by Arthur Penn, Jane Fonda in the worst acted role I have ever seen her in. Very early Robert Duval, Robert Redford, James Fox, Angie Dickinson, E.G. Marshall, Martha Hyer, Janice Rule Diana Hyland and a very young Paul Williams (Evergreen); the list goes on and on. A bit (?) corny but.......

This movie is a great study in the degeneracy of people and the thin line of protection that law enforcement provides. The characterization of people from the southern U.S. being a bunch of degenerate slobs is intentional to denigrate that portion of the country which is often referred to as the Bible belt. You'll be hard pressed to find a movie coming out of Hollywood that doesn't have a political message - some more subtle than this one.

Like always a outstanding Marlon Brando, his brilliant acting abilities which I watch in ecstasy, Angie Dickinson, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are a special extra bonus. The story in the movie is undynamic, wouldn't care to have it if Brando wasn't in it, it is a must have for all fans.
