A few days ago, I found a semi-clickbait teaser talking about 10 Great Westerns You Probably Haven't Seen, and it turns out, I had seen maybe just 3 of them, so hey ...

This one was the oldest on the list, so it was the first one watched. Really well done with not a lot of "lens shifting" needed at all, which for 74 year old Western ain't bad at all, imo.

The one up today was not so luck. Bend Of The River from 1952. Good core story, well-told, but also with a whole lot of period trappings that are just distracting and uncomfortable.

I like Westerns, especially the ones that don't have really happy endings for anybody.

 

Me too. "The Searchers" is a case in point. I think Duke's character knows that this happy ending won't last, and that a young woman raised in a tribe won't be happy coming back. Of course, that may just be me, but I do love that great, great Western!
