3:10 To Yuma (1957)
Should I see it?
Yes.
An interesting movie about a rancher who is given the job of hiding a sly criminal until the train arrives to take the villain to the gallows.Yes.
Glenn Ford (Gilda) offers a charismatic and memorable performance. Van Heflin (Shane) is perfectly cast as the capable rancher who has stepped into a situation top big for him to control. While the script is missing the detailed characterization of the 2007 remake the film still delivers good drama. Helfin and Ford are well matched, Ford's relaxed smirk against Heflin's weary mug. The two play off one another and enhance the other's performance.
This is a good film if you’re a patient audience. If you’re looking for wall to wall action you’ll do better elsewhere. This is a good back up pick if you need one.
