Review of 3:10 to Yuma

3:10 to Yuma (1957)
7/10
First rate Ford and Heflin teaming.
5 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
This really does make you think of High Noon, doesn'tit ? The reviewers here have said pretty much what I'd say-don't have that much to add. Here are a few things that stand out to me though: *Henry Jones as Slim Pickens was really good. Enjoyable.

*Ford was never better than he was here. You wonder if they couldn't have fleshed out his scenes w/ Felicia Farr further-but still, what they have, does work.

*Heflin is twitchy and just this side of Homer Simpson in some of his foibles. I found him to be quite believable-didn't wanna get involved, did it for the money. This was good. He always worked well on screen.

*Richard Jaeckel is a fave, it was great to see him in this.

*You don't nec. buy Ford's leaping onto the train at the end like that, but--it IS Hollywood, what else you going to do? you need an ending.

*Only debit it did play like a bigger budget TV Western-check that town set, seen it 100's of times.

*** outta ****, quite good.
