Director, and writer Delmer Daves, may never be thought of as a "star" director, but his work was always top drawer. As I wrote that line, I opened Julie Kirgo's monograph, which sends the same message, which is that while Daves' westerns may lack the Ford iconography, and majestic settings, they're far more down to earth.
Cowboy, which gives us the interesting pairing of Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon, is a quality film, and lovely Blu-ray offered via Twilight Time, from a new master delivered by Columbia.
Dupes aside, color, densities, grain structure, black levels and resolution are all in line for a film shot in 1957 on Eastman 5248.
