Today on #snowwesterns I noticed there are only two movies left which I have never seen, so if nothing come up to distract me I may watch both! Currently starting The Great Silence (1968). I get the impression this will be a gritty, spaghetti-western style thing, as 1968 was well into the 'fistfull of dollars' era of westerns and one of the stars seems to be Klaus Kinski. I'm excited

Tonight for #snowwesterns I'm watching Ravenous, starring Guy Pearce and Robert Carlyle

Now watching on the #CriterionChannel (part of their #SnowWesterns collection):

The Secret of Convict Lake
(1951, dir. Michael Gordon)

a noir/western starring Glen Ford, Gene Tierny, and Ethel Barrymore.

This movie has a lot to recommend it including Mr. Perfect Movie Face aka Glenn Ford as well as (spoiler alert) a gang of old ladies murdering a would-be rapist with farm implements 👍🏼
THE SECRET OF CONVICT LAKE, 1951

Tonight for my #SnowWesterns marathon I watched a 1952 movie called The Wild North. It's about a guy accused of a crime, and a Constable who has to bring him to justice through the winter wilderness.
I have to admit I loved this movie. The chemistry between these two guys, who on the surface are enemies, but deep down actually like each other, is fantastic.
4.5/5
