the 3:10 to Yuma [movie]

I love Westerns. The first record I ever bought was Frankie Lane singing "Rawhide" (until I discovered Elvis, another country singer). This movie is a superb Western, old style heroes and villains. The bad guy even proudly wears a black hat. Russell Crowe is excellent as a train robber without a conscience. Christian Bale, the unlikely hero who just wants to keep his farm from foreclosure, inspires sympathy and admiration. His son, played by Logan Lerman, is a moody teenager who hates his father. Peter Fonda does an excellent job as an embittered bounty hunter. Terrific.
