A Prize of Gold
3
Must be worth a second look if only for that insouciant smirk (Widmark) and a very young George Cole
5.5
Alvarez Kelly
3
It’s OK.
6
Backlash
4
Absolutely definitely yes.
10
Bedford Incident
2
Maybe, if only to get that quote about Widmark's character being such a mean bastard (and doing it so effortlessly)
6
Broken Lance
2
Probably.
6
Cheyenne Autumn
2
A film even RW described as a ‘bit boring’. Possibly, but not any time soon.
3
Death of a Gunfighter
4
Yes
9.5
Destination Gobi.
3
Quite likely.
5
Don’t Bother to Knock
1
Possibly, if only to see it was really as bad as I thought it was the first time.
2
Down to the Sea in Ships
2
Possibly, given a wet enough afternoon.
4
Escape to the Sun
3
Yes.  Widmark hated this film.  I like it!
8
Garden of Evil.
4
Absolutely definitely.  Wonderful film.
8
Halls of Montezuma
4
Brilliant film; yes.
7.5
Hell and High Water.
3
Quite likely.
6
Judgment at Nuremburg
2
Possibly; a tough film to watch though.
6
Kiss of Death.
1
Not that fussed; Udo not my favourite character.
4
Madigan
3
Would very much like to.
6
MOTOE
0
No, not enough Widmark in it :-)
2
Night and the City
3
Yes, one of the best noirs made.
7
No Way Out
3
Yes, but best rationed to keep the shock value!
9.5
O. Henry’s Full House
3
Re-run of Udo’s character in a short story – good though.
7.5
Panic in the Streets
3
Possibly, Widmark’s character is so whingy though!
5
Pickup on South Street
3
The more I see this film the more I love it.  A great noir.
9
Red Skies of Montana
1
Not too bothered.  Very 2-D.
3
Roadhouse
3
Definitely, if only for Ida Lupino’s singing.
9
Slattery's Hurricane
3
Quite likely, though don't consider it a particularly great film.  Worth another go though.
4
Street With No Name
3
Quite likely.  Widmark’s a very good baddie though not keen on the overall documentary style.
7
Take the High Ground!
3
Yes, curiously.
7
The Alamo
4
Oh yes.  Though not for John Wayne.
7
The Frogmen
4
Probably the best war film I’ve seen
9
The Last Wagon
2
Possibly.  This may well be the first film that I have actually seen to death.  Would like to redo the screen shots at some point.
9.5
The Law and Jake Wade
3
Yes – though Clint Hollister has to be the baddest cowboy ever!
8.5
The Sell Out
3
Hopefully now have a DVD with decent sound quality
6
The Trap
3
Yes, it’s strangely compelling.
9.5
The Way West
1
An averagely good film let down by poor soundtrack.
5.5
Time Limit
2
Would like to get the DVD, so likely.
7
True Colors (sic)
0
Not bothered.  Don’t like Cusak.
3
Two Rode Together
1
Irritating film (see my review comments) but maybe.
6
Warlock
4
Very much yes, especially to compare it with the book (which is excellent). 
10
When the Legends Die
0
Dull and far too long; seen it and ticked it off list.
2
Yellow Sky
3
Yes, though now it seems odd to see a Western in b/w.  Works though.
