Scene Photo The Man From Colorado
Henry Levin, USA, 1948, 100m
Archival Print
This disturbing postwar western, about a returning Union colonel (Glenn Ford) who orders the massacre a group of surrendering Confederate soldiers and progresses to become hanging judge in the Colorado Territory, spoke to the charged situation for returning World War II veterans more than the historical past. Ford’s Colonel Owen Devereaux is a damaged man, and his war buddy Captain Del Stewart (Holden) watches Devereaux’s terrible progress in horror, as he victimizes almost everyone dragged before his bench. This is one of Holden’s less complex performances, but he’s a winning counterbalance to Ford’s believable viciousness. The Man From Colorado is one of the best and least known of the western noirs made in the wake of the war (Pursued, The Furies, Devil’s Doorway), and it was shot in striking Technicolor by William E. Snyder.

Leslie Fenton, USA, 1949, 93m
Holden is Jim, one of a gang of Texas outlaws that includes Lom (MacDonald Carey) and Wahoo (William Bendix). Jim and Wahoo are lured into the Texas Rangers while Lom keeps up the bandit life, and they are drawn into a series of increasingly dangerous conflicts. This small-scale western—based on material originally conceived by King Vidor, directed by Leslie Fenton and written by Charles Marquis Warren (an excellent director of westerns himself) — is a perfect example of the genre in its purest state. It has a singing integrity and a wonderful purity, and it is beautifully crafted throughout. It is also lovely to look at, shot by Ray Renahan in rich Technicolor. One of Holden’s final roles as an innocent youth.
