Title: Second only to "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance."
Review: Wayne's bravura performance and Ford's resonant direction in this picture are second only to their work on "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." This one should only be seen in widescreen form, so this format provides a valuable service for the hordes of people who've only had an opportunity to see it in the loathesomely inferior pan-and-scan. The naked depiction of obssesive racism is as relevant today as ever, and the end of the movie makes perfect sense, since it obviously takes a powerful emotional attachment to drive a man to such dreadful extremes. If you've never seen this film, watch it as soon as possible, and don't settle for less than a widescreen presentation. Afterward, hit the library and treat yourself to the book upon which the movie was based.
