Anthony Perkins cast as an Old West sheriff?!
This is a highly unusual film due to its odd casting of Anthony Perkins as a sheriff in the Old West. No offense to Mr. Perkins’ memory, but he looks nothing like you’d expect for a sheriff and I can’t help but think of his performances as Jim Piersall or Norman Bates and laugh a bit! Aside from maybe Montgomery Clift as a tough soldier in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, it might be one of the worst cases of a “fish out of water” in film history. Now to some extent, this is exactly the intention of the writers. Perkins was supposed to be a nice but gentle boy who was way over his head–though he did seem to be a rather extreme choice even at that! Especially because this town needed a strong man to keep order and Perkins just didn’t have it in him.

Into town comes bounty hunter Henry Fonda who eventually feels sorry for Perkins and takes it upon himself to try to toughen him up a bit. This is especially important because the town is rather lawless and the “good” townspeople are jerks–Perkins truly is alone.

Now there’s a lot more to this film including Fonda’s relationship with a little boy and his mother, a town bully as well as a stage robbery. All these elements work together well and the movie manages to rise above the usual mediocrity of the genre–thanks to some decent acting, an excellent script and especially Anthony Mann’s very capable direction. Mann made some of the best Westerns of the 1950s–including such great Jimmy Stewart films as WINCHESTER ’73, THE NAKED SPUR and THE MAN FROM LARAMIE. So with this pedigree, it wasn’t all that surprising that I thoroughly enjoyed this film–even with the odd casting of Perkins.

The Last Lesson
When the experienced bounty-hunter and former sheriff Morg Hickman (Henry Fonda) arrives in a town to claim his bounty for killing a wanted outlaw, he meets the rookie temporary sheriff Ben Owens (Anthony Perkins). Hickman befriends the boy Kip (Michel Ray) and is lodged by his widow mother Nona Mayfield (Betsy Palmer) at home. Meanwhile Ben asks Hickman to teach him to be a sheriff since he wants to be assigned by the residents to the position. Ben faces problem with the scum troublemaker Bart Bogardus (Neville Brand) and when a prominent dweller is murdered by two criminals, Bogardus organizes a posse to hunt them down. But Ben has decided to capture the killers alive and give a fair trial to them.

“The Tin Star” is a great western directed by Antony Mann, with the 52 year-old Henry Fonda in excellent shape and Anthony Perkins in one of his first features. The bitter Hickman has a sad past that has certainly affected his behavior and Anthony Perkins is perfect in the role of the insecure Ben Owens. The happy end is a counterpoint to “Shane” that has similar situation of a stranger involved with a boy and a widow. My vote is eight.
