Caught this seldom-seen gem over the weekend: "Jubal", about the straying wife of a cattle rancher. Amazing. Consider the cast: Ernest Borgnine (trusting cuckhold rancher), Glenn Ford (sincere drifter given a chance), Rod Sterling (kinieving bully ranchhand), and Charles Bronson (slick sidekick). The hot hoochie wife is a knockout. You've never seen a western like this, and I can certainly understand how 1950s Americans passed it by.
Also caught, "The Misfits", a real stunner, directed by John Huston, written by legendary playwright Arthur Miller, and staring a cast you won't believe made a film together: Clark Gable (in perhaps is only gritty film), Marolyn Monroe, Eli Wallach, and Montgomery Clift. The film is worthy of this collection. Its a neo-western, like Hud.
