Night Passage

 Night Passage 1957

  • Director: James Neilson
  • Seen by this director: The Moonspinners, TV series
  • Based on the book: no
  • Cast: James Stewart, Audie Murphy, Dianne Foster
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • James Stewart – The Shootist, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Greatest Show on Earth, Bell Book and Candle, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Harvey, Rear Window, The Far Country, Rope, maybe others
    • Dianne Foster – TV series
  • Why? It’s in the James Stewart box
  • Seen: 25 July 2022      

       More horses and mountains and then I won’t have to watch any more Westerns.

       This time Jimmy Stewart plays the accordion and transports money and shoots people and has a bad kid brother (Murphy) and there’s some nice mountain scenery and a cute baby donkey for a few seconds which gives it, not the 0* it deserves but 

1* of 5. 

PS Since Googling James Stewart and reading about him as a person, I’m no longer so charmed by him. He was a staunch conservative Republican and supported both the Vietnam War and Ronald Reagan. If I had known that before I would never have ordered this box. Such is life.
