TCM Spotlight: The Defining Frontier: The American Character in Westerns
TCM, beginning at 8pm
Catch a Classic!
Turner Classic Movies’ monthlong Tuesday and Thursday night look at the history of Westerns via themed lineups continues with “Cultural Breakthroughs.” The overwhelming majority of classic Westerns have white, (presumably) straight male heroes as their protagonists. But at important moments in the history of the genre, filmmakers have asked audiences to consider different perspectives and challenge some of their prejudices, as seen in tonight’s lineup of movies. First, in the James Stewart-led revisionist Western Broken Arrow (1950), Apache leader Cochise was one the first sympathetic Native American characters in a major Hollywood Western (although he was played by a white man, Jeff Chandler, who earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination). The next film, director William A. Wellman’s Westward the Women (1951), challenged gender stereotypes by focusing on women who end up being as tough and resourceful as any man in the frontier. Robert Taylor, Denise Darcel, Hope Emerson and Julie Bishop lead the cast. More recently, tonight’s next film, Best Director winner Ang Lee’s Best Picture-nominated Brokeback Mountain (2005), dramatized a love affair between two cowboys (played by Best Actor nominee Heath Ledger and Best Supporting Actor nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), the first time that homosexuality was central to the plot of a Western. The following film, Buck and the Preacher (1972), not only featured Black cowboys but was also directed by an African American, Sidney Poitier, who played Buck alongside Harry Belafonte’s Preacher. After that comes director Anthony Mann’s Devil’s Doorway (1950), which was released soon after Broken Arrow and is similarly sympathetic to Native Americans (even if, like the former film, it features a Native portrayed by a white man, in this case Robert Taylor). The lineup concludes early tomorrow with Bearing Witness, Native American Voices in Hollywood (2024), a documentary that looks at how cinema has long been used to distort history and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
