Description
While many other directors of the 50s complained about shooting in the new aspect ratio, Minnelli flourished in the new medium. Virtuoso camera movement, costuming and décor illuminate and critique the overbearing and philandering Texas Ranger Hunnicutt (Robert Mitchum’s strongest performance in years) as he struggles with his wife and his two sons, legitimate and illegitimate. USA, 1960, 35mm, color, 149 min.
