Why It Crackles

Movie Details

Brilliant direction meets genius acting resulting in one of the defining psychological westerns.

-This was the The last of Jimmy Stewart's seven Western collaborations with Anthony Mann.

-The film was adapted from both a story of the same title by Thomas T. Flynn first published in The Saturday Evening Post in 1954, and thereafter as a novel by publisher Ward Lock in 1955.

-Jimmy Stewart was an amazing actor, but one of his lesser-known talents was his poetry. He once read a poem that he had written about his dog, entitled "Beau," while on The Tonight Show (when Johnny Carson was hosting).
