I still like the hat Harrison Ford wore.
I love that hat. I'd like to think I would look pretty much like him if I was wearing it.

All the movies filmed at Beale's Cut, also known as Fremont Pass, San Fernando Pass, and Newhall Pass, in the Sierra Nevada mountains, southern CA. These are old, shot from a distance, & some are fuzzy film grabs.
Thanks BB! I enjoyed looking at the early pics.Good fun looking through those, HJ and thinking of the ones I’ve seen. Helluva spot for a bushwhacking.
I'm not sure if Tom used that or not.This pic is said to be the inspiration for Michael Biehn's Johnny Ringo hat in Tombstone. Not sure if Biehn's hat was a custom or something from the costume dept. Perhaps @Moviehats knows more?

Agreed. It was definitely a fun one. I think just about anything that was directed by John Ford is a good movie. Stagecoach and The Searchers are two of my favorites directed by Ford. Hollywood just doesn't make 'em like they used to.I just watched that last night. Fun movie.
So true, TJ. When John Ford died, an era of top quality died. There are still some good westerns but they are few and far between, and no one director has the A-list name for quality that Ford did.Agreed. It was definitely a fun one.

Some of the American directors were keenly aware of what was going on over in Europe, where German Expressionism (stark lighting and shadows) was having a big effect. One of the greatest things about John Ford (see above) was his depiction of the human figure in the landscape, which was pretty much a trait he developed on his own. I was just watching The Grapes of Wrath the other night and was really struck by such scenes: for instance, one in which Tom Joad, just out of prison, is walking down a country road all by himself and you can feel the distance and the loneliness.Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell, "Night Must Fall" 1937. Montgomery is a charming killer who carries a hat box.
I saw this movie several times on TCM. It's one of my favorite Montgomery movies. Watching a few of these old crime/drama movies from the 1930s with their shadowy lighting effects and mood settings I gotta wonder sometimes if film noir may have possibly started earlier than 1940.

I loved that movie. I hope you get to see it. I imagined Montgomery to be a charming and shrewed serial killer in this movie who carries around a mysterious hat box.I've never seen that, but will watch it the next time it comes on.
Never saw the original, but I did see the 1964 remake when I was still quite young. Scared the crap out of me!Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell, "Night Must Fall" 1937. Montgomery is a charming killer who carries a hat box.

I know of the 1964 remake but I never saw that one. I have watch it and compare. The original is really good.Never saw the original, but I did see the 1964 remake when I was still quite young. Scared the crap out of me!
As a bonus: the remake did have Susan Hampshire in the lead role (these days known, I kid you not, as Susan, Lady Kulukundis). I'll have to watch the original (I think I can handle it better now). Thank goodness it didn't leave me with a permanent fear of hatboxes!I know of the 1964 remake but I never saw that one. I have watch it and compare. The original is really good.
