Sorry but despite the fact that the 1931 version of this novel was the only western film to win an Academy Award for Best Picture it does not compare to the entertainment value of this version. True this is perhaps not the best adaptation of Ms. Ferber's novel, but then how many films are perfect adaptations of their source material. There are wonderful scenes missing from this adaptation, but then there are wonderful scenes missing from the adaptation of GWTW. No, I am not comparing this to a classic like GWTW. But the '31 version is not in the same class as GWTW either. This film should be taken for what it actually is, a good solid epic entertainment with spectacular scenes and good performances. Glenn Ford is perfect casting for Yancy. His performance is far superior to that of the overripe, stilted scenery chewing one delivered by Richard Dix in the original. Ford's boyish manner easily captures the charming immature nature of the character. Maria Schell is on a par with Irene Dunne. It is a pity her character was rewritten from the novel to be weaker than Ferber intended. This was obviously done to make the film Ford's but she's still gives a performance that is on the money. As so do the myriad supporting players in the film. Back in 1960, MGM obviously needed a big movie to move into the theaters that had been playing "Ben-Hur" for over a year. So this production was rushed to completion to fit the bill. The fact that it was shot in Cinemascope instead of a "Big" 70 mm process is evidence of this. It has been written that the production was shut down before the scripted ending could be filmed. This explains the rather abrupt and somewhat awkward end to the film. Perhaps a regular non "Roadshow" release might have fared better both with the critics and at the box-office. It often seems that those who praise the older version over this film have seldom actually seen the former. For many years the 1931 version was not available for viewing. During that period many film historians gushed in their praise of it. When it finally reappeared on screens most of them found it very creaky and revised their opinions but the older opinions are still in print, available and read. True, they didn't change their opinion of this version, but the older fell into proper perspective...Cinema History and rather dry history at that. While this version is not a classic it remains good entertainment. Compare it to "How The West Was Won" made by the same studio just a few years later.

Columbo Season 2 (1972) Douban
Columbo Season 2 part of TV Series: Columbo
★ 7.6 (7 ratings) director: 尼可拉斯·科拉山多 actor: 彼得·法尔克 / 约翰·卡萨维蒂 …
《神探可伦坡》(Columbo)是一个有名的经典美国电视电影,由彼得·福克(Peter Falk)主演。自1968年~2003年期间,共69集。本片叙述一名总是穿着一件皱巴巴的棕色风衣,顶着一头乱发,嘴里叼雪茄,开着一辆老爷车的洛杉矶重案组的刑警主角法兰克·可伦坡(Frank Columbo)。看似不修边幅的他,总是以敏锐的推理能力侦破各种案件,并让犯人无从抵赖。
本片每集独立成篇,一大特点是每集中客串演出犯人角色的全为名演员与名人。另一特点是剧情采用固定的倒叙推理形式;先描述犯人作案的情形,而后描写可伦坡从与嫌疑犯的交谈及证据中确定其嫌疑,逼得犯人不得不自白。犯人原以为天衣无缝的杀人计划,都逃不过他的锐眼。他的一句名言是:‘世上没有完美犯罪’。
倒叙推理,着重如howcatchem(如何抓住犯人),而不是常见的whodunit(谁是凶手)、howdunit(手法)或whydunit(动机)。因此在日本若出现倒叙推理的作品,往往会被叫成‘神探可伦坡或古畑任三郎风格’。日本著名编剧 三谷幸喜 从小就可伦坡迷,长大后更是创作了’日本版神探可伦坡’-《古畑任三郎》。

Swamp Water
other title: 大泽之水 / The Man Who Came Back …
This is commonly known as Jean Renoir's first American film (1941), although Renoir scholar Alexander Sesonske has established that Renoir's creative role in the project was severely hampered by producer Darryl F. Zanuck and that he didn't regard much of the film as his own. (The ending, for instance, was written by Zanuck and directed by Irving Pichel.) Nevertheless, the film has certain beauties and pleasures. Part of it was shot in Georgia's Okefenokee swamp, and the treatment of the small community living ~Censored~ is often pungent and distinctive.
