3 things about William Wyler’s THE BIG COUNTRY

Posted on May 10, 2015 by robchristopher

The Big Country [1958]

1. Fistfight in long shot.
2. Leech picks up the shotgun that Rufus has thrown down, confirms that it’s loaded.
3. Together they look out over the landscape, and say everything that needs to be said with their eyes alone.

Pretty impressive. This ought to be better known than it is.
