I don't think even he ever regarded himself as a great actor, but his low-key qualities suited this role.Jacqueline T.

For when he was around three, he said to me one day out of the clear blue sky, "Sure do like that name -- O Da Darlin.'"<BR/><BR/>This movie is a beaut, although the parts are a bit greater than the whole. But what parts! The dancing scene, with Henry Fonda all stiff-legged and formal and leading aggressively, is my personal favorite. And who knew Victore Mature could give a more than credible reading of Hamlet's soliliquy?K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10222703055177237209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-59825852012508537272009-02-02T21:55:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:55:00.000-05:00So many awards, so little evening attire.So many awards, so little evening attire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-3532445034142417222009-02-02T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-02T21:23:00.000-05:00"Superior Scribbler"?

Ford is such an interesting director-- you're right about his films not descending into cliches, tho much of what he put on film became cliched when reprised by lesser artists; in a lot of ways, Ford elaborated the "wild west" of film in a way that created a mythic history. & yes, if the term "poetic" can be applied to film, it certainly fits his.<BR/><BR/>Thanks-- haven't seen this in a long while, & the review makes me want to watch it again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.com
