THE PROUD ONES (Robert D. Webb, 1956) ***
This is the best of three efforts by director Webb I watched in quick succession; like WHITE FEATHER (1955), it’s a Western that – as far as I’m aware – has never been shown on Italian TV (which is how I first became familiar with a good many vintage Hollywood title).

The film revolves around one of the most popular Western themes – the tough Marshall (in this case, a typically impressive Robert Ryan) taming a lawless town. A couple of unusual twists which heighten the tension considerably concern the fact that the young man (Jeffrey Hunter) he appoints as his deputy – and on whom he comes to depend due to his gradual blindness – bears him a personal grudge; on the other hand, Ryan has his own score to settle with the apparently omnipotent boss (Robert Middleton). For the record, this was the first of three films in which Ryan and Hunter would appear together: the second was the Biblical epic KING OF KINGS (1961), in which the former portrayed John The Baptist and the latter (controversially) Jesus Christ, and the last the historical Western CUSTER OF THE WEST (1967), where both only had supporting roles.

As ever, the hero’s woman (Virginia Mayo) becomes embroiled in the violent proceedings – while the eminent members in town prefer to stand aside; then again, not much help is forthcoming from Ryan’s own associates either: in a role he’d perfect in RIO BRAVO (1959), Walter Brennan is the cantankerous jailer who all he seems to do is read the newspaper – whereas Arthur O’Connell brings up his wife’s imminent motherhood to be excused from the inevitable showdown. The numerous shoot-outs (in a saloon, on the street at night and an all-out gunfight in a barn) denote obvious highlights; however, also notable is a town-council sequence which ends with Ryan’s hardboiled comment to his peers: “If I were you, I couldn’t look into a mirror without vomiting!” The evocative score by Lionel Newman includes a whistling motif which effectively comes in at particularly revealing moments in the narrative. In the long run, the film proves an underrated entry to emerge from the genre during its most prolific and mature era.

Somewhat Uninspired
A slightly above Average Fifties Western with Robert Ryan, Technicolor, and Cinemascope the main reasons to catch this rather uninvolving misfire. Things come alive now and then that propel the dreariness and flat handedness to an interesting level.

For example, when the Marshall lectures the Town Counsel and says…”you’d sell out for a copper penny, with your $40 Boots and your $12 Hotel Rooms…I couldn’t look in the mirror without vomiting”. The Movie breaks toward the edge a few times with some taut gun-play and suspicious motives, but it also lingers and has some very uninspired moments. The target practice piece and some other wasted Screen time with the Love Interest, a Family Man, and Walter Brennan who just sort of sits around.

The Script is also not very convincing with its Back Story, but this is worth a view if nothing much to make it stand out among its Betters. But is a notch above a Western Programmer or the plethora of others from the Decade that are much worse.
