The first time I ever saw My Darling Clementine I couldn’t get over how unimpressive it seemed. If nothing else it certainly didn’t give off any self-aware sense of its own importance. There was nothing that struck me as outright epic and monumental. And yet this western has been a...   read more

Jesse James (Tyrone Power) and his brother, Frank (Fonda) are forced into banditry after...   read more
