Dish of the Day

Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:

Tomorrow on TCM:

Next is one of the western genre's finest and another excellent pairing of star James Stewart with director Anthony Mann: 1955’s The Man from Laramie.

James Stewart

This was the last western the duo made together and perhaps their finest. Previously they collaborated on Winchester '73, Bend of the River, The Naked Spur, and The Far Country in that order. In this film, Mann's by now familiar themes of buried hostility, vengeance, familial loyalty and expectation seem developed in a more complex fashion, therefore affording the director a deeper exploration of his characters' conflicts, motives and desires. As always the situations are masterfully presented and infinitely captivating. The Man from Laramie has been previously reviewed as Top Ten Western #7 and will appear Thursday, May 8 at 5 pm PDT.
