On the Screen at the Library
Western Double Feature tonight, 7 PM (note earlier time)
Budd Boetticher's Seven Men from Now (1956)
Ben Stride (Randolph Scott) used to be keeper of the peace when he was sheriff of Silver Springs. But since his wife's murder during a Wells Fargo office holdup, Stride has made it his mission to hunt down her killers and make them pay. When he crosses paths with scoundrel Bill Masters (Lee Marvin) and his cohort (Donald Barry), Stride gets closer to his mark -- but things are not what they seem in director Budd Boetticher's classic Western.
High Noon (1952)
Retiring Marshall Will Kane (Gary Cooper) insists on defending his town from a gang of hooligans who are due on the noon train -- but he faces the task alone as the cowardly townspeople flee like rats from a sinking ship. Director Fred Zinnemann creates an incredibly tense Western (rightly considered one of the true genre classics) that unfurls in real time -- as the clocks on the wall constantly remind us.
