I tried, but I am unable to do it...who knows what the Verlinden sculptor had in mind when he created this figure? I guess we could ask Francois...
But I have to get involved in the "best Western" debate here...my ancient film student days were rustled up.
High Noon was considered the first "adult" western...hence the slow, deliberte pace and the psychological interplay of Cooper and Kelly and Cooper as a man wrestling with possible cowardice and duty, rather that the heretofore stoic "hero" in previous westerns..a la Ladd in Shane. It followed the usual stranger who is so tough and righteous template right to a John Wayne T...although, now it does seem a bit on the schmaltzy side side, I always watch it when it's on. And appreciate the underappreciated Van Heflin once again.
But can we talk about any "best" Western without "The Searchers" in the lot? I can't think of anything better as a whole in the complete genre...just too good and too many good performances. John Ford's best; no song like Frankie Laine's though...a good score.
I'm betting the new "True Grit" with Jeff Bridges as Cogburn and Matt Damon as the Texas Ranger and Josh Brolin as the Ned Pepper character is killer...Dec.22nd.
However, there's no original as good as the.. uh..original, IMO.
