A pretty good western, Fonda at his near

A pretty good western, Fonda at his near best. Nice to see lovely Betsy Palmer in a good supporting role. Perkins not well cast - varies between scared rookie sheriff to some courageous gutsy moments - its hard to figure out if he's got what it takes. But, a nice western story featuring Fonda as a widowed bounty hunter who mentors the inept Perkins and provides a father figure to a young (not well defined) half breed youngster. If you like Fonda (as I definitely do), don't miss this one!

Henry Fonda is absolutely brilliant in this Anthony

Henry Fonda is absolutely brilliant in this Anthony Mann western classic. I rate this one right up there with "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". I didn't know this was a low budget film. It doesn't show. Highly recommend.

The Tin Star, made in 1957, might appear

The Tin Star, made in 1957, might appear to be just another routine black-and-white Western. But the two stars - Henry Fonda and a young Anthony Perkins - are clues that it might be much more – and it certainly is. It turns out to be a minor masterpiece of fine film-making, with top-class directing from Anthony Mann (Winchester ’73 and Bend In The River) and the screenplay by Dudley Nichols was deservedly Oscar-nominated. The story line is relatively simple - ex-sheriff turned bounty hunter Henry Fonda rides into a small town to collect some bounty money he is owed, and finds young inexperienced sheriff Anthony Perkins out of his depth against a small band of villains lead by Neville Brand and Le Van Cleef. Reluctantly, Fonda takes the young sheriff under his wing, giving advice and backing him up in a couple of minor altercations. But when the well-liked local doctor is killed by the outlaws, a major confrontation is inevitable. What makes this apparently simple situation compelling is the way the psychology of the participants is played out, particularly between Fonda and Perkins – both on top form - and also by boastful villain Neville Brand, whose slimy sneering performance is also outstanding. The Tin Star is perhaps a more thoughtful Western than some, but still delivers tension, excitement and plenty of gunplay. REVIEWED by Nick Fletcher
