101 Great Films # 83 My Darling Clementine

I grew up on westerns,
I watched Gunsmoke with my Grandparents on their black & white TV, then we watched Bonanza in living color. The very first movie I saw on the big screen and it was a huge screen!
A drive-in, was a western, Although to be fair I don't remember the movie, since I was 7 and I fell asleep after the popcorn was gone.
But since then I have watched 100s of westerns, old ones, new ones, silent ones, loud ones, ones in black & White, and ones in CinemaScope. I've watched the lone wolf, and the Calvary to the rescues.
I believe the Western is America's Magnum opus, and John Ford is her Michelangelo.

Orson Welles revered John Ford (Welles admitted to having seen Stagecoach more than 50 times). How some film buffs may despise the work of the "Homer of Arizona"? Every scene, every take, every frame... everything seems to imagery poetry.
