Man of the West (1958)
Country: US
Technical: DeLuxe/scope 100m
Director: Anthony Mann
Cast: Gary Cooper, Lee J. Cobb, Julie London, Arthur O'Connell, Jack Lord, John Dehner
Synopsis:
A reformed outlaw finds himself stranded with two fellow passengers when his train is held up by members of his former gang. Cutting across country, they soon run into them again and to protect his travelling companions he pretends to be the Prodigal Son.
Review:
Curious little Western, dominated by one of those patriarchal dysfunctional 'families' so beloved of Peckinpah later (Cobb on somewhat overripe form - Aw!Ha!Ha!) Coop, nearing sixty, struts his stuff convincingly, memorably provoking Jack Lord into a fistfight, and London is made to strip to her underwear in a - for its time - uncomfortable scene of threat/titillation.
