ON THE TELLY
Fox Classics Monday 10.50pm: The Gunfighter (1950) - plain, unflashy story of a retired gunman (Gregory Peck), who can’t escape his past. Setting, direction (Henry King) and monochrome photography (Arthur Miller) are spot on.
Fox Classics Tuesday 8.35pm and Wednesday 12.20pm: Rio Bravo (1959) Character piece in which sheriff, John Wayne, his drunken deputy (Dean Martin), ol’ Stumpy (Walter Brennan), and a young gunslinger (Ricky Nelson) take on some evil outlaws. Director Howard Hawks’ answer to High Noon- spun out at a nice leisurely pace, never taking itself too seriously. Also starring Angie Dickinson.
