Viewing Notes
Queued up John Sturges’ 1955 Bad Day at Black Rock for some early morning viewing. Spencer Tracy arrives in a small desert town and begins rattling everyone with his mere presence. Pretty damn good flick. Didn’t even recognize Lee Marvin (maybe the youngest I’ve seen him in film). Robert Ryan also very good but Tracy is the real badass here. Great watch.
