How to scrape the bottom of the barrel... |
| ...or how the western was killed! Universal here really scrapes the bottom of the western barrel. Not even the great James Stewart can hold this dead all alone. It is not just a matter of lack of ideas: the whole conception is bad and useless. About the video: colors are often alterated, so the quality is not that good... Forget about it. |

One of the hidden westerns gems! |
Cain and Abel once more work out for this western. Stewart works for the railroad and his brother belongs to a gang which is planning to rob train payroll.
This story turns around the ancestral myth of two brothers who live exactly opposite proposals.
Stewart made a credible role and Audie Murpphy is unforgettable too with this plot.
Believe or not this western - to me - has been underestimated, but it well deserves for you a sight. May be you 'll be surprised.
The climax is superb and towering. |

NOT THE USUAL BACON AND BEANS WESTERN FARE |
| When it comes to westerns we like to think of stars like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Tom Selleck (of late). But Jimmy Stewart is a name that should absolutely come to mind every time. Stewart sits his horse well, is believable in hat, boots and spurs, and seems more believable as the consummate good guy of the west. NIGHT PASSAGE, the story of a shamed railroad troubleshooter who is out to redeem his name and his younger brother who has gone bad (Audie Murphy), showcases Stewart's considerable acting abilities very well. And it's a musical western to boot! With toe-tappers like "You Can't Get Far Without a Railroad" and "Follow the River" both sung by none other than Jimmy Stewart, and a striking soundtrack that beautifully complements the mountains and skies that form the backdrop for this one and you've got nothing short of a very enjoyable western. No, this isn't a western of the predictable genre but it's a breath of fresh air when all you've had is the bacon and beans set for your last ten western viewings. You want John Wayne then watch John Wayne. But don't miss this Jimmy Stewart classic. Available at last on widescreen DVD! |
