Good action movie
rating: 4
Above average film for the time. The acting is also ok for the time period. As far as being an action/thriller, things don't heat up until the last half of the movie. The DVD transfer has to be the worst I have ever seen. Nothing has been retouched and the color changes at times.

Underground Adventure Will Rock You
rating: 5
Roger Moore and Susannah York will rock you in GOLD. Go underground, way underground in this outstanding adventure romance film from director Peter Hunt. Roger Moore gives one of his best performances in a well defined and charismatic character and he truly demonstrates more depth as an actor than he has been given credit. Moore makes this film work. Also, Bradford Dillman turns in a very villainous performance and Ray Milland at this point in his career had the corner playing grumpy old men. Stanley Price's screenplay is full of energy and emotion and it has gone unrecognized long enough. Elmer Bernstein's score is dynamic and well suited to the characters and action that unfolds and it certainly compliment s the excellent performances and Stanley Price's screenplay. GOLD rocks!

Good Action Film with Depth
rating: 5
GOLD is an oustanding film directed by Peter Hunt. It is rich with characters, plot and raw energy and emotion. This film contains one of Roger Moore's best performances. Elmer Bernstein's score is one of his best. The entire cast is first rate. On the down side the DVD print of this very good character based adventure is less than good and that is being kind. This is an outstanding film just the same. The plot to flood a huge gold mine in South Africa to increase the value of othere gold reserves is well done.

Gold movie with Roger Moore and Susannah York
rating: 4
Great movie made back in the 70s, set in South Africa.
This particular version on VHS with somewhat scratchy playback but still OK to watch.
