Fritz Lang's Rancho Notorious (1952) belongs to the strange wondrous overheated western melodrama sub-genre. An odd very stylised western that makes no concessions to realism. In its own way as bizarre and unusual as Forty Guns. I loved it.

Wrong Number (1959) is a 1959 British heist thriller. It has a neat little plot, terrific acting and just the right amount of humour. The vital clue is a phone call, a wrong number that might be unlucky for the thieves. A good solid B-movie.

Audie Murphy made some great westerns. The Duel at Silver Creek (1952) is not one of them. It does however look great and is fun in a movie junk food sort of way. Don Siegel directed so there's plenty of fine action. I enjoyed it.

Barbara Stanwyck and Walter Huston star in Anthony Mann's western The Furies (1950), a slightly noirish nicely overheated psycho-sexual-emotional melodrama. Not a perfect film but fascinating and hugely enjoyable with Stanwyck and Huston in top form.

Watched Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train (1951) yet again and I'm still impressed by its technical perfection. And I'm noticing the subtle and disturbing touches of moral ambiguity. A great movie and an interesting one.
