Review Hud [1962] / Paramount Home Entertainment:

Based on a Larry McMurtry novel, back in 1962 Hud was a testament to the sex appeal of the young Paul Newman. Playing the title character-a total rotter who, by the end of the film, has double-crossed or screwed over everyone he knows, including his hard-working father and brother-Newman turns him into an intriguing antihero. Things are tough on the ranch and Hud's dad (Melvyn Douglas) needs help, but Hud is too busy looking out for number one, even as things fall apart. And guess who's going to land on his feet? The beautiful black and white cinematography by James Wong Howe won an Oscar, as did performances by Douglas and Patricia Neal. -Marshall Fine, Amazon. com.

Review Quiet Man, The / She Wore A Yellow Ribbon [1950] / 4 Front Video:

The second instalment of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy, this meditative Western continues the director's fascination with history's obliteration of the past. It features one of John Wayne's more sensitive performances as Capt. Nathan Brittles, a stern yet sentimental war horse who has difficulty preparing for his impending military retirement. All things considered, he refuses to leave before fulfilling his obligation to the local Indian tribe. It's a film about honour and duty as well as loneliness and mortality. And Oscar-winner Winton C. Hoch beautifully photographs it in Remington-like Technicolor tones (you've never seen such stunning cloud-covered skies). The combination of melancholy and farce (Victor McLaglen makes a perfect court jester) evokes comparisons to Shakespeare. Best of all, the scene in which Wayne fights back tears when receiving a gold watch from his troops is unforgettably bittersweet. If you view the whole trilogy, it actually makes sense to save this for last. [+]
