3:10 to Yuma (1957) -- D. Daves
Perfect Sunday
afternoon fare. Glenn Ford turns on the charm as a notorious villain caught by
a bunch of bumbling Western types led by struggling farmer Van Heflin. The
gimmick is that Heflin will get the $200 he needs to bring water to his land if
he can escort Ford to the train station (going to Yuma) without losing him or
getting killed by his 12-man gang. Good gimmick and keeps the film ticking away
at a tense pace. (I'm not interested in the Russell Crowe remake).
