3 things about Sydney Pollack’s THE ELECTRIC HORSEMAN

3 things about Fritz Lang’s RANCHO NOTORIOUS

3 things about Raoul Walsh’s THE BIG TRAIL
The Big Trail [1930] 1. As they converse by the water pump, insects circulate in the air. 2. Bleached bones, sand, wagon wheels. 3. The dog lies down next to the grave. Everyone walks away.
3 things about Sidney J. Furie’s THE APPALOOSA
The Appaloosa [1966] 1. He dumps the coffee grounds onto a small piece of burlap then twists it into a bundle. He dabs his face with it. He wants to pass as a Mexican. 2. Nighttime. A bumpy blue stone … Continue reading
3 things about Richard Brooks’ THE PROFESSIONALS
The Professionals [1966] 1. He crawls under the water tank to place the dynamite. Dark, dripping beams of wood. 2. The train barrels down the track, in reverse, belching a plume of black smoke. Mexicans on horseback in pursuit. 3. … Continue reading
