JACQUES TOURNEUR DIRECTS DANA ANDREWS IN 'CANYON PASSAGE'
Title: CANYON PASSAGE Year: 1946 Rates: ****1/2 |

Meanwhile, interesting side-characters include another frequent Dana co-star, musician Hoagy Carmichael (NIGHT SONG, BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES), as a mandolin-playing expository moral conscious, and Lloyd Bridges (later in Tourneur's Western WICHITA) spitefully ruling the kangaroo court: But the true antagonist's played with gusto by Ward Bond (Dana's SWAMP WATER foe), who causes all sorts of bruised-up and/or deadly havoc, especially in a sublimely choreographed saloon fight scene, where director Tourneur's otherwise rich, artistic lens flows with testosterone-fueled bravado.
From the Spanish import Blu Ray YEAR of PASSAGE: 1946 |
The Classy Font fits the classy Western directed by Jacques Tourneur Canyon Passage Jacques Tourneur |
Considered by some a Noir Western, Canyon Passage's font makes clear it's more a Renaissance Western type |
The opening takes place in the big city of Frisco, where Dana gets his mission, his girl (friend), and beaten up a bit |
