Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review I3:10 to Yuma/I is a tight, taut Western in the IHigh Noon/I tradition. Struggling rancher and family man Van Heflin sneaks captured outlaw Glenn Ford out from under the eyes of his gang and nervously awaits the prison train. Adapted from an Elmore Leonard story, this tense thriller is boiled down to its essential elements: a charming and cunning criminal, an initially reluctant hero whose courage and resolution hardens along the way and a waiting game that pits them in a battle of wills and wits. Glenn Ford practically steals the film in one of his best performances ever: calm, cool and confident, he's a ruthless killer with polite manners and an honourable streak. Director Delmer Daves (IBroken Arrow/I) sets it all in a harsh, parched frontier of empty landscapes, deserted towns and dust, creating a brittle quiet that threatens to snap into violence at any moment. --ISean Axmaker, Amazon.com/I

Following an incident which involves a murder, Wades gang are jailed. The gang manage to escape leaving Wade to face the music alone. Fearing a repeat of this escape, officials organise an armed escort for Wade (Van Heflin) to take him on the risky journey to face justice in Yuma. This taut, classic Western demonstrates what craftsmanship in making movies is all about August 12, 2009 C. O. DeRiemer (San Antonio, Texas, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma br /The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh br /There's a legend and there's a rumor br /When you take the 3.10 to Yuma br /You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by... br /In the sky... br /Way up high... br / br /Now that we've got out of the way one of the most awful opening theme songs any Western has been cursed with (sung by Frankie Laine), let's talk about one of the best-crafted Westerns Hollywood ever made...a fine example of getting the job done superbly and without phony flash, burdensome moral lessons, extra hormones or intense "acting." 3:10 to Yuma is the real goods. br / br /It's the short, unadorned story of Dan Evans (Van Heflin), a poor, stubborn rancher in the third year of a drought. He needs water. He needs money. His wife loves him and works as hard as he does. He worries how she's able to put up with all the misfortune. His two young sons look up to him but he'd like to leave them with a memory of him of more than just a hard-working failure. When they're out rounding up cattle the three witness a stagecoach holdup. The youngest boy wants his father to stop the holdup and capture the robbers. He knows with young certitude his father could do it all. Dan tells the boys to be quiet. As played by Van Heflin, we accept Dan's integrity and his earnest desire to do something for his family. br / br /It's also the story of Ben Wade (Glenn Ford). He and his gang rob anything they can get money from. Wade makes it a point of pride that he kills a person only if there were no other way to protect his own safety. Ben Wade is intelligent. He's charming, tough, and knows how to get around a woman or get inside a man's head. As played by Glenn Ford, we're nearly captured by star charisma and likeability. We know Ben Wade is a smart, sly villain, but we admire his confidence and smiling way of undermining another man's confidence. br / br /Dan Evans, desperate for money, agrees for $200 to take the captured Ben Wade to Contention, where he'll put him on the 3:10 train to Yuma and the Yuma Territorial Prison. Ben Wade knows that his gang will sooner or later figure out that he's being taken to Contention to await the train. He even tells Evans how they'll find out. When they show up and rescue him, they'll kill Evans and anyone helping him. br / br /This taut, simple story is told with economy and tension. There's no angst or "acting," no allusions to the director's favorite causes, no close-ups of the make-up artists' skill at creating blood clots. In fact, there's not much bloodshed or violence until Dan finally has to find a way to get Ben from the hotel in Contention to the train station, where the train is waiting, and where so is Ben Wade's gang. br / br /Although there are some fine subsidiary performances, the movie is all about Evans and Wade. And that means that Heflin and Ford had to be at the top of their game to sustain this 92-minute movie. Dan Evans is a man much like Heflin's Dan Starrett in Shane. He's more resourceful than we might think, but mainly he's an honorable, earnest man who might be tempted by Ben Wade's coaxing tongue, but not for long. He wants the $200 for his family and because he knows he's doing the right thing. Unlike the 2007 remake, there's little question but that his wife loves him and that his two sons look up to him. Glenn Ford rarely played bad guys (watch him in Lust for Gold), but he makes an outstanding one here. His shooting of two men at the start of the movie, one of them a member of his gang, is fast and startling. But it's Ford's winning personality that makes Wade so attractive and so dangerous. Maybe sometimes, when he dallies with a tired, pretty barmaid, he even believes some of what he says. br / br /A good deal of the movie is spent in a hotel room in Contention with Wade in handcuffs lying on the bed and Evans holding a shotgun, peering uneasily out the window looking for signs of Wade's gang. The interplay between Ford and Heflin - easy and underplayed - is a pleasure to watch. Ford shows how he can worm his way into Evans' mind, undermining his will and raising doubts. Heflin shows how tempting and frustrating just thinking about what Wade is saying must be. The final shootout is well-staged and violent; the conclusion is satisfying. There are no attempts by rich Hollywood directors and producers to bring Tinsel-town tragedy to a good story. br / br /There are echoes of High Noon, which the craftsmanship of this movie and the performances of Ford and Heflin quickly dispel. There are a few clichés that are handled so respectfully, so matter-of-factly and so quickly that they are easy to forgive. The budget for 3:10 to Yuma (1957) was probably, even in 2007 dollars, less than Russell Crowe's salary alone in 3:10 to Yuma (2007). If you like movies and appreciate well-crafted stories, 3:10 to Yuma (1957) might find a place in your collection. 3:10 TO YUMA--A GREAT WESTERN CLASSIC September 1, 2009 Mr. W. J.

Classic Western ! September 10, 2006 websurfer (Portugal) 14 out of 14 found this review helpful 1957's 3:10 to Yuma, is one of the most interesting and popular westerns of the 1950ths. Directed by Delmer Daves, once again teaming with Glenn Ford (after 1956's Jubal)the film is an interesting story revolving around a rancher played by Van Heflin(Shane)who has to escort a dangerous gang lider to the 3.10 train to Yuma from where he will go to jail. Ford plays the bad guy in this one, but in a very simpathetic way, rediming himself at the end... br /Beautifully shot in black and white, this is a western that influenced the genre in the years that follow, inspiring for instance Kirk Douglas 1958 "Last Train from Gun Hill" and with his classic status being reinforced by the upcoming remake feauturing Russel Crowe and Christian Balle. Glenn Ford, who passed away this year was always an underrated actor, however he was one of the best screen cowboys who ever lived, his films with Delmer Daves (Jubal, 3:10 to Yuma, Cowboy) plus " the fastest gun alive" and Anthony Manns's last western, 1960 "Cimarron" toguether with the noir classics "Gilda", "the Big Heat" and "the undecover man" make Glenn Ford a true Hollywood legend. High class western November 7, 2007 S J Buck (Kent, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Although clearly inspired by "High Noon", "3:10 to Yuma" is sufficiently original, and has a lot of other good qualities, that it compares favourably with that earlier great film. br / br /Glenn Ford stars as Ben Wade the leader of a gang of theives who at the beginning of the film rob a stagecoach. Dan Evans witnesses the robbery and is powerless to do anything about it. Wade takes Evans horses but allows him and his sons to walk away unscathed. In the second half of the film the two meet each other again, in completly different circumstances and the main plot unfolds. br / br /The strong point of this film is its cinematography. Its beautifully shot in black and white and is presented in wide screen. The opening scene which unfolds over the opening credits deserves a special mention, but there are many other scenes which are excellently shot. Full credit to the director Delmer Daves and the Cinematographer Charles Lawton Jr. This element of the film merits 5 stars. br / br /However, its not as good as High Noon, and had a few moments where I just didn't believe what was happening. Notable amongst these was the ending which seemed like a bit of a cop-out to me. I have not seen the remake yet (although I know someone who has and he was not impressed) but it will have to be very good to be better than this. br / br / Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
