Covered Wagon (Silent)4 reviews
Frank Albertson, Johnny Fox
Paramount, 1995
The western (almost) starts here
+ Early Silent Western Was The TITANIC Of Its Day.
+ A great classical forerunner of all that came after.
It's refreshing to see this well-loved, simple classic in such good condition. The VHS print is excellent, the film itself is only slightly dated, and the actors don't ham too much (Ernest Torrence and J Warren Kerrigan are stand-outs). The direction by James Cruze is solid. His use of close-ups is ...

The Iron Horse (The Ford at Fox Collection)2 reviews
George O'Brien, Madge Bellamy
20th Century Fox, 2007
Choo-choo good
+ Finally On Region One DVD!
"The Iron Horse" (Fox, 1924) is the grandfather of the Epic Western, and this film made John Ford's career. What's interesting, I think, is that what would later be cliches in this film actually became cliches later in many Western films, but they were used here first.
The print quality is ...

Rancho Notorious [Non-US Format, PAL, Region 2, Import]1 review
"Hate, Murder and Revenge"
Fritz Lang's last Western and, in many ways, his finest. One of the director's bleakest works, "Rancho Notorious" (1952) also serves as a vehicle for Marlene Dietrich, whose Germanic flavor almost lapses into self-parody. Lang's perverse, stylized "B" movie distorts reality in its use of artificial ...
