Unbridled Passion by Howard Hughes
Following the release in March of ‘A Man Called Gannon’ (1968), Simply Media in the UK continue to release more Universal-International westerns, this time of 1940s and ‘50s vintage. The new releases, out on 18 April, are ‘Calamity Jane & Sam Bass’ (1949), ‘Cattle Drive’ (1951) and ‘Black Horse Canyon’ (1954). This trio of films are literally ‘Horse Operas’, with the accent on thoroughbred steeds and their importance and role in the working west. Be they cattle drovers, stock breeders or outlaws, where would any of them be without the horse? The answer, of course, is walking.
I’ll review the DVDs in the order I watched them. First up is ‘Cattle Drive’, a 1951 western directed by Kurt Neumann. Chester Graham Jnr (Dean Stockwell), the spoilt, arrogant son of railroad magnet Chester Graham Snr (Leon Ames), is accidentally left behind when the train he is travelling on makes a water stop.

Okay, they can’t all be winners. Fringe gets its first clunker of the season, in a tale of robots who love and the people who love them.
It’s not that it was a bad episode per say. It was still well filmed and pretty well acted – but the writing was uniformly obvious, stilted and kind of terrible. Whether it was a shapeshifter telling his son how monsters aren’t all bad, in fact some of them are totally great or Olivinot’s closing line (“I lied to you... I don’t want to talk.”), there were more head-slappingly stupid moments than I could count.
But. But! It’s still Fringe, so, you know, not all bad. The plot, in fact, was a fine idea:
Turns out there are shapeshifters from Dimension X infiltrating every level of our government, from cops to Senators. One of those Senator-bots ends up in a car accident,...
