Product Description

This fine western opens with Van Heflin as a rancher whose family is suffering from the devastatingeffects of a long drought.

Heflin needs $200 to build a well, then learns he can obtain the money as a reward for delivering Glenn Ford, a notorious outlaw now in the hands of the law, to the state prison in Yuma, Arizona. Though this will put Heflin in great personal danger, the peaceful man accepts the assignment, knowing what the money will mean to his family. Heflin and Ford hole up in a small hotel in another town while waiting for the train to Yuma. The outlaw begins toying with Heflin's mind, talking in a friendly manner about Heflin's job and financial situation. Playing psychologicalgames, Ford tries to convince Heflin to take $100,000 to look the other way while he escapes. Heflin finds himself in a quandary, desperately needing the money yet being bound by his word to carry out the job. Ford's gang, led by Jaeckel, discovers where their leader is hidden and sets out to rescue him. The town officials abandon Heflin rather than put themselves in danger, leaving the troubled rancher alone to face off with the outlaws. Ford ends up assisting Heflin, helping his captor on the 3:10 to Yuma, explaining, 'I owed you that.' Heflin has come through the ordeal, body and integrityintact, and, as if in answer to this baptism by fire, the skies burst forth with rain, putting an end to the drought.

Struggling rancher and family man Van Heflin sneaks captured outlaw Glenn Ford out from under the eyes of his gang and nervously awaits the prison train in this tight, taut Western in the High Noon tradition.

Adapted from an Elmore Leonard story, this tense Western thriller is boiled down to its essential elements: a charming and cunning criminal, an initially reluctant hero whose courage and resolution hardens along the way, and a waiting game that pits them in a battle of wills and wits. Glenn Ford practically steals the film in one of his best performances ever: calm, cool, and confident, he's a ruthless killer with polite manners and an honorable streak. Director Delmer Daves ( Broken Arrow ) sets it all in a harsh, parched frontier of empty landscapes, deserted towns, and dust, creating a brittle quiet that threatens to snap into violence at any moment.

Older but better ~ 16 July, 2010

I had watched the new "3:10 to Yuma" which was good but too bloody with a horrible ending so purchased the old version which, while not in color,was far superior.

did not watch this movie ~ 14 April, 2010

This movie I had to return cus I didn't know that dvd's came in "REGION" form. Well I ordered region 2 and we in the USA use "REGION 1" so I have to reorder in Region 1 form.

A CLASSIC, BUT I LIKED THE REMAKE JUST AS MUCH! ~ 09 November, 2009

There is no doubt that this is a classic western, but since I saw the remake first, my opinion may be bias. I liked both films for different reasons, but maybe if I'd seen the original first, I might see why so many fans of that version hated the remake. Ford and Van Heflin are excellent in the lead roles, but I also liked Crowe and Bale in the same roles in the remake. Regardless this is an excellent film and should be seen by any fan of great westerns.

3:10 TO YUMA(1957)---Glenn Ford, Van Heflin, Felicia Farr, Richard Jaeckel
Directed by Delmar Daves, this is the original version of the film re-made in 2007 with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. I have not seen the re-make, but this version would be hard to beat. Heflin plays a small cattle rancher who is struggling to keep his ranch going due to a severe drought. Ford plays against type as the leader of a band of outlaws who hold up a stage and kill the driver. When Ford is captured by a posse, the focus of the film becomes keeping Ford's gang from freeing him before he can be put aboard the 3:10 train to Yuma to stand trial. When the owner of the stage line offers $200 to anyone that will guard Ford and get him safely aboard the train, Heflin takes him up on the offer. A battle of nerves and will ensues as Ford tries various ploys to get free before he can be put on the train. Reminiscent of such westerns as HIGH NOON and LAST TRAIN FROM GUN HILL, this is an excellent western and both Ford and Heflin give fine performances---I recommend this film to any fan of westerns.
