I just watched Bad Day at Black Rock (1955, directed by John Sturges). It wasn't good.
It was great.
It isn't just that it's a good story, a kind of western that isn't a western (yes, I know that makes no sense - but it does when you see it). It's such a well-executed film. It's so well-constructed, so well put together, it's a great pleasure to watch.
I know I threaten to write reviews here in The Burble all the time ... but never follow through. But this time, yes, I promise to scratch out something on this movie because it is so good.
At least, I think it is. And, dammit, I'm right. Very highly recommended.
