The Lusty Men **** (1952, Susan Hayward, Robert Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Arthur Hunnicutt) – Classic Movie Review 3403
Robert Mitchum stars as old-hand rodeo rider Jeff McCloud in director Nicholas Ray’s flavoursome, rather special, character- and atmosphere-driven 1952 Western drama. It is one of Ray’s lesser-known but best movies. Mitchum, Arthur Kennedy, Arthur […]

Joan Crawford stars in Johnny Guitar as the strong-willed, gun-toting saloon queen called Vienna in her first Western since 1928’s The Law of the Range. Nicholas Ray’s 1954 camp, kitsch Western is irresistibly strange, indeed quite outlandish, and […]
King of Kings **** (1961, Jeffrey Hunter, Robert Ryan, Siobhan McKenna, Hurd Hatfield, Harry Guardino, Frank Thring, Rip Torn, Viveca Lindfors, Rita Gam, Ron Randell) – Classic Movie Review 348
Nicholas Ray’s fine 1961 Biblical epic movie about life of Christ is everything it should be: straightforward, devout and affecting. Jeffrey Hunter defies his odd casting and gives a surprisingly effective performance as Jesus. Though […]
