DVD Review: "Tracy...Widmark...Wagner...Jurado...Dmytryk ~ Broken Lance (1954)"
Summary: 4 Stars
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment present "BROKEN LANCE" (1954) (96 mins Color), under director Edward Dmytryk, producer Sol C. Siegel, screenplay by Richard Murphy and Philip Yordan., musical direction by Alfred Newman, music score by Leigh Harline . . . . .cast includes Spencer Tracy (Matt Devereaux), Robert Wagner (Joe Devereaux), Jean Peters (Barbara), Richard Widmark (Ben), Katy Jurado (Senora Devereaux), Hugh O'Brian (Mike Devereaux), Eduard Franz (Two Moons), Earl Holliman (Danny Devereaux), E.G. Marshall (The Governor), Carl Benton Reid (Clem Lawton), Philip Ober (Van Cleve), Robert Burton (Mac Andrews), Robert Adler (O'Reilly), Harry Carter (Prison Guard), Nacho Galindo (Cook), Julian Rivero (Manuel), Edmund Cobb (Court Clerk), Russell Simpson (Judge), King Donovan (Clerk). . . . . . . our story features Spencer Tracy as a cattle baron with four sons , three (Richard Widmark, Hugh O'Brien and Earl Holliman) by a wife who died two years after Tracy settled in the west and started building his cattle empire...Tracy remarries, this time to an Indian princess (Katy Jurado) and has another son (Robert Wagner)...Tracy favors Wagner and treats theother three sons with disgust, thus making it very difficult for all concerned...a copper smelter is polluting the water and killing the cattle on his ranch, he raids the smelter and when things go wrong Wagner takes responsibility and is given three years at hard labor...Tracy dies of a stroke and Wagner plans to seek revenge when he gets out of prison... screenwriter Philip Yordan won an Academy Award for his work on "Broken Lance", while Katy Jurado received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her performance as Senora...this wonderful cast keeps the film together as director Edward Dmytryk, best known films from the pre-McCarthy period of his career were "Crossfire" (1947), for which he received a Best Director Oscar nomination and "Murder, My Sweet" (1944), as the latter an adaptation of Raymond Chandler's "Farewell My Lovely" (1975)....these films were made with expensive stars of the calibre of Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando, but apart from the memorable Western "Warlock" (1959), which he also produced, his work had lost much of the emotional urgency and psychological thrust represented by his early film noir "Crossfire" (1947)...after his film career tapered off in the 70s, he entered academia and taught at the University of Texas at Austin, and at the University of Southern California. He wrote several books on the art of film-making, Dmytryk died in 1999, aged 90.
Specal footnote, actor Spencer Tracy (April 5, 1900 - June 10, 1967) was a two-time Academy Award-winning American film actor who appeared in 74 films from 1930 to 1967, was often described as one of the finest actors in motion picture history...in 1935 Tracy signed with MGM, won the Academy Award for Best Actor two years in a row, for "Captains Courageous" (1937) and "Boys Town" (1938)....Tracy was also nominated for "San Francisco" (1936), "Father of the Bride" (1950), "Bad Day at Black Rock" (1955), "The Old Man and the Sea" (1958), "Inherit the Wind" (1960), "Judgment at Nuremberg" (1961), and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967)...Tracy and Laurence Olivier share the record for the most best actor Oscar nominations (9)...Tracy was one of Hollywood's earliest "realistic" actors; his performances have stood the test of time, other actors have noted that Tracy's work in 1930s films sometimes looks like a modern actor interacting with the more stylized and dated performances of everyone around him...In 1941, Tracy began a relationship with Katharine Hepburn, whose agile mind and New England brogue complemented Tracy's easy working-class machismo very well, though estranged from his wife Louise, he was a devout Roman Catholic and never divorced, Tracy and Hepburn made nine films together.
