Viewing Notes
Wayne and Clift make a great team in this deconstruction of Western cowboy masculinity, subverting Wayne’s typical persona. There are two versions in this set, the theatrical version and a pre-theatrical version. I watched the former since it’s said to be Hawks’ preferred version of the film.
