Movie #167 "3:10 to Yuma" (1967) is a different kind of part for Glenn Ford, who plays the bad guy in this one. Here's the history on this one for me. A while back I rented the Russell Crowe/Christian Bale version of this flick, but I found it so tedious and boring the first half an hour that I stopped it and decided to rent the original. Then, I watched the original and decided the opening to this one was boring, too, and I barely made it to the end. Therefore, the set up for the story must be slow......once the two guys meet, the story starts to sizzle a bit, and I did enjoy the very ending. The scenes with Ford and Heflin were good, but I wouldn't recommend this to many people. There are sooooo many better classic westerns like "Shane," "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," "Stagecoach," any of the Ford films, just to name a few. Rent those instead.

3:10 to Yuma(1957) NR
When the town marshal offers a bounty for outlaw Ben Wade (Glenn Ford), Dan Evans (Van Heflin), a poor rancher hit hard by a crippling drought, takes the job. His wife pleads with him to save his own life by letting Wade go free, but for Evans, it's a matter of principle as well as money. He takes Wade and begins the dangerous trek to the station.
