Avis sur le produit3:10 to Yuma (DVD, 1957)

A Great Psychological Western With Great Acting & Stars

This 1957 psychological Western starring Glenn Ford as oulaw Ben Wade and Van Heflin as family man Dan Evans is wonderful!

Wade and his gang have just robbed a stagecoach carrying gold in Arizona. Unfortunately for Wade, he is caught while having a drink in a bar and while flirting with the owner (Felicia Farr). But the problem is he has to be escorted to Yuma for trial. And who's going to escort him when his gang is ever seeking to have him freed.

Dan Evans volunteers for the $200 fee offered by the gold shippers. He is a desperate farmer and cattle owner that has seen everything die due to a severe drought. He has a wife and two sons who adore their father, and part of his motives are to impress his sons.

The movie moves quickly to Contention, Arizona, where the pair of men verbally "shoot it out" while waiting for the train. Wade is a sympathetic outlaw, as he does not really try to escape. Instead, he tries to use passive agressive behavior to lure Dan into a bigger fee to let him go. Wade compliments Evans' lifestyle and tells him that he wishes that he too could have had a wife and sons. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking, and the outlaw gang has realized where their leader is holed up waiting for the train.

The climax to this movie is just as good as the lead up. You will be sitting on the edge of your chairs waiting for the ending. The tension is unbelievable.

Happy Viewing for anyone who loves Westerns or psychology!!

P. S. The 2007 remake of this movie starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale is not nearly as good as this one, the original. Plus the ending is better here!Lire l'avis complet...

First Rate Unique Western

"3:10 To Yuma" is one of my favorite Westerns. From the opening strains of Frankie Laine singing the title song, the brilliant casting in stars and characters, to Delmer Daves' trademark high camera angles, you will find it interesting from beginning to end and worth re-watching for the subtleties.

This may be my favorite Glenn Ford role. He is perfect playing against type as the bad guy. But, he adds a dimension of character and likability to the role. Van Heflin is simply great as the family man - turned hero. He is always worth watching, in any role. Felicia Farr (Mrs. Jack Lemon) is beautiful and sympathetic. The sexuality in this late 1950s film is surprisingly ahead of its time. It could easily have been made in the late 1960 or 1970s.

If the song doesn't stay in your head, you weren't listening. Outstanding film!

I prefer originals to remakes 99% of the time.Lire l'avis complet...

Sometimes you can't improve on the original

This was a great flick in the "High Noon" tradition. It was a bit of a stretch for me to accept Glen Ford as a "bad guy" though. I was used to him in so many good guy roles, that it was really different to see him as such a #*(@+#%. Van Heflin was great as the good guy and the supporting cast lent very well to the story. I'll take this original version over the remake every time. (I must admit though, I'm not a big Russell Crow fan)Lire l'avis complet...

3:10 from Yuma

While the motion picture has a bit of a slow start, Glenn Ford has a well developed role in the film.

good but not great

This movie is fair to partly cloudy .I like it but I like the new one better .the movie was quite slow , if not for Glen ford I probably would not watch it .
Glen is a very intense actor, the other guy that has to deliver him to the train is pitiful as an actor .he also sucked in the movie "Shane" .
It's not the worst western I've seen, but far from the best .
It's probably good to purchase if you want to compare the new against the old . IMO the new wins hands down .Lire l'avis complet...

Classic Western, Take a Train Ride to Yuma

3'10 To Yuma,
What can you say, classic western with Glen Ford and Van Heflin,
plus the skinny gal with the big brown eyes rounds it all out...
The remake with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale is as worthy from the first shot at the stagecoach scene to the exciting ending.
Both films are a must see in the valley of the western genre.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Movie; Watch Remake First

The remake IS better and I suggest you watch it first, but this is a great movie as evidenced, if in no other way, by its inspiration of the remake. If you like the remake and can get this at a good price, you definitely should do so.Lire l'avis complet...

This 1957 version is better in my view than the 1979. Version since it doesn't have the profanity of the 1979 version.

I've seen this movie in the past and enjoyed it very much.

3:10 to Yuma

This is the original 1950's black and white movie that was recently remade with Russell Crowe. This movie stars Glenn Ford as the outlaw, Ben Wade, and Van Heflin as the farmer, Dan Evans, who agrees to take Ben Wade to the 3:10 train to Yuma. It is well-acted and has a great cast. I highly recommend this movie if you are a fan of good, old-fashioned westerns. This movie is appropriate for any member of the family and I believe families could enjoy this movie together.Lire l'avis complet...
