Collection Development: 1950s Western.

The Return Of Frank James Link to May 14 A.V. Club post, "50s Westerns".

Excerpt: In fact, the whole decade was pretty much a heyday for great directors who liked to try their hand at horse operas. Fritz Lang’s best Westerns (The Return of Frank James and Western Union) were made in the ‘40s, but he also left his signature on 1952’s Rancho Notorious, a twisted thriller about a man who goes undercover in a den of thieves to exact revenge.
