trailer:
Senses of Cinema has a thought-provoking consideration. Deep Focus Review calls it a masterpiece and says, "Mann’s work, though not extensively recognized as that of an auteur in the United States, has been praised overseas by French cineastes François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard as that of a genius-artist." The Guardian calls it Mann's Western masterpiece. TCM has an overview. 93% of Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it positive reviews.

ReplyDeleteA woman surrounded by (angry) men wearing guns ... what could go wrong? I'll grab my tea & have a watch.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one. However, not sure if I have ever seen it or not. I've seen so many 1950's westerns; they make me think of my dad who loved them. Have a happy T day.
ReplyDelete...when I see those hats I think, Big Hat no Cattle!
ReplyDeleteI know of a few of the cast but I haven't seen this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
I haven't seen this Western. I wonder how I missed it as it has such a great cast. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteI could never get into Westerns- TV series or movies...
ReplyDeletethanks for your interesting comment on my blog about the cowbirds-didn't know about that;)
happy T day!
I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but this sounds good, since I've heard of several of these actors. Thanks for sharing this with us for T this Tuesday, too, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteSo many Westerns with such interesting ways of reformatting the themes and cultural memes. Interesting post!

I’ve never heard of that film but I like Gary Cooper, I do like westerns.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day plus one

Westerns are not my thing, but you picked a great image. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not much into westerns, this has a really good cast!
ReplyDeleteI have also seen so many westerns growing up on Saturday afternoons that I am sure I probably have seen this one. Always did like the ones with Gary Cooper.
ReplyDeleteAny western with Jimmy Stewart in would be my favorite because I would watch anything at all with Jimmy in it--LOL! :)
You always stir up great memories with your posts. We love old movies around here! Just last week I watched a Jimmy Stewart movie I had never seen; Firecreek. All the people that were in are gone, now. 1968. I know your movies are older, but this is still over 50 years ago! LOL Happy belated T Day.
ReplyDeleteMr. M. and I just watched this, again, last week. A great old western.
ReplyDeleteI watched this about 2 months ago (Hubby is a western movie freak and I had no choice as he would not change the channel). I ended up liking it as it showed polar evil and polar goodness, the possibility of turning your life around (the main character was once evil like the others but now the good guy), and the stupidity of people (like why didn't he scope out that house a bit better in the first place). She is lovely too. Great post - thanks for reminding me of this movie. Happy late T-day!
