Amazon.com:
A scout in the old Southwest (Gregory Peck) undertakes to protect a white woman (Eva Marie Saint) and her half-breed son from the Apache warrior--the woman's captor-husband of 10 years--who wants them back. The scout is a man of estimable courage and resources (again, Gregory Peck), but the mostly unseen Apache is a veritable monster of determination, cunning, and bloodthirstiness: Peck and his two charges doom entire communities to extermination just by passing through the neighborhood. This fierce amalgam of Western and horror movie was the last of seven collaborations between director Robert Mulligan and producer Alan J. Pakula, of which To Kill a Mockingbird was the peak. The Stalking Moon isn't peak material, but it's a demonically effective palm-sweater, and fascinating as a prelude to Pakula's own breakout as director of the great paranoid trilogy Klute, The Parallax View, and All the President's Men. Robert Forster has an early role as a fellow, part-Indian scout. --Richard T. Jameson

Rating:  - Salking Moon
Finally a dvd of one of Gregory Pecks best westerns. It's sharp, crisp & great scenery.
Rating: - The Stalking Moon
This is a cracking litle Western. I sat through it twice when it first came out in 1968/9. You can feel yourself digging deeper into your seat in scenes where Salvaje is either immenent or on screen. Peck unplays the scout who reluctantly takes on the woman and her son unkowing of their true situation. Scenes involving him and the lovely Eva Marie Saint are played low key yet are suffused with emotion. There's no sham heroics - Peck as Sam Varner is thoroughly professional in his approach to snaring ... Read More
Rating: - "Gregory Peck Series ... The Stalking Moon (1968) ... Warner Bros."
Warner Bros. presents "THE STALKING MOON" (25 December 1968) (109 mins/Colo) (Dolby digitally remastered) -- Our story line and plot, "The Stalking Moon", adapted from a novel by Theodore V. Olsen, opens in the Arizona of the Old West, as the U.S. calvary is in the process of relocating Native Americans to reservations --- As army scout Sam Varner (Gregory Peck) is mustering out and retire to a farm in New Mexico --- Varner takes pity on a white woman Sarah Carver (Eva Marie Saint) and her half-breed ...

Rating:  - How can you make a flat fullscreen DVD?
This is not really a review, since I'm not buying it. I already bought a Spanish DVD more than a year ago of "The Stalking Moon", but the ratio was 1.33, not 2.35 as it should, since this is a movie filmed in Panavision. So I'm not paying to have a third of the film. Which seems to be what is being offered now in the US. And it quite a pity, since it is a very good, underrated movie, by a great underrated American filmmaker, Robert Mulligan.

Rating: - Great movie--DVD missing scene selection
Wonderful movie! I loved the way the silence brooding over the Southwest landscape is reflected in the film: in Varner's strong, stoic character; in the taciturn scowl of the Indian boy; in the silent menace of Salvaje (correct spelling?)Two things, though, about the DVD. First, if you've seen the movie on TV, the first and last parts are usually shown in widescreen, but the majority of the movie is shown full-screen. Not here! The whole movie is shown in widescreen--making for a sharp, luscious picture. ... Read More
