DVD Reviews of Jubal
DVD Review: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES HIGHLIGHT WESTERN SOAP
Summary: 4 Stars
JUBAL is a nicely entertaining Western soaper. Directed by Delmer Davies who gave us several earthy, romantic, baby-boomer soapers [i.e. A SUMMER PLACE, 1959; PARRISH, 1961; ROME ADVENTURE, 1962] and who gave us the original, classic 3:10 TO YUMA [1957]. This deals with an itinerant cowpoke, played by Glenn Ford [Jubal], who is hired by wealthy rancher Ernest Borgnine. Big boss Ernie is a gruff, rough-around-the-edges and round-around-the-middle man of the land who has a much younger wife, the latter played so memorably well by an actress named Valerie French. The boss takes a liking to his new man---admires Jubal's skill, work ethic and advice---and quickly promotes him to #1 hand. A couple of minor problems: the boss' wife also takes a liking to Jube, and a long-time ranch hand, played annoyingly well by the great Rod Steiger, is more than a little perturbed at the quick promotion. French is terrific as the petulant, fervent young spouse who is willing to give up everything for the stalwart Jubal. Steiger is scene-stealing as the envious hand who has always desired the boss' wife. He tries to undermine Jubal at every turn---stirring up the other hands and the boss. Borgnine is grand as the loquacious but ignorant and gullible ranch owner. Young wife can't seem to pin Jubal down as the latter remains rigidly loyal to the man who gave him a job and hope. Jubal subsequently encounters a migrating group of religious settlers and falls for the group leader's innocent and isolated daughter played exquisitely well by Felicia Farr. Farr's crush on Ford is beautifully portrayed by Davies, no one better than the old pro at depicting the flavor of young love on the screen. Farr is beautiful, angelic and splendid in her small role. When the boss' wife finds out Jubal has a gal she presses the pedal to the floor in her attempt to get her man. Tries to seduce Jube afer he escorts her back home one night. Meanwhile Steiger adds fuel to the fire by suggesting to the boss that the two are having a fling. Borg confronts his wife only to be ridiculed and spuriously told that she has been intimate with Jube. He now confronts Jubal intent on killing him. The latter is able to fatally shoot his boss in self defense, barely. Steiger, who in the meantime has beaten the wife after she repels his advances, now publically accuses Jubal of the premeditated murder of his boss and of the fatal beating of his young wife. A posse is now after the innocent hand. Gets a little syrupy at the end but overall great performances with Steiger and French standouts. And what can I say about Glenn Ford: one of the most underrated actors ever and one of the best. Fact that French never really made it after this reaffirms just how tough Hollywood really is. Nice seeing familiar Western vet Noah Beery Jr [RED RIVER,1948] and Paul Kersey, I mean Charles Bronson [pre-DIRTY DOZEN, pre-DEATH WISH], with small roles in this one. Really nice cinematography. Very nice job by Davies adding a few suds to the beans & bacon in this one.
