Deuce pays $8 to watch the 2nd-best western of 1959

Netflix charges $8 per month for streaming movies/tv-shows.  I subscribe.  It’s now the 23rd of March and I’ve only watched one movie, Warlock (1959).  It was awesome!  Good thing that $8 goes toward unlimited Dora the Explorer and Diego episodes or I’d cancel…

Look at those handsome gentlemen! All tough guys!

Warlock is the name of the town.  It’s troubled by a gang of bad guys (redundant?).  Warlock employs Henry Fonda as their marshal for protection.  He’s got a partner, Anthony Quinn.  Anthony Quinn’s got some secrets, enough said.  H. Fonda gets run out of his position.  Richard Widmark gets appointed marshal.  Wait, doesn’t he have ties to the bad-guy gang?!  Then there’s the absolutely beautiful Dorothy Malone who everyone seems to fall in love with.  Who’s heart will she end up with (yours?)??

Hey, Fonda! Stop looking at my Dorothy! Quinn, step away, now…

I liked this movie because of its grittiness.  Remember, it was 1959, folks.  It definitely wasn’t a happy movie.  Nobody was a true hero.  Everyone had some dirt.  I loved that it was in color (I love that Cinescope!).  I give this one a strong 15/17!  It’s only available on Netflix instant for another week, so you better hurry if you wanna watch a guaranteed awesome movie, or your money back (Netflix is known for bringing movies back after expiring them, so you might not have to fret if you don’t make the 3/31 expiration date).

Can you guess my favorite western of 1959?
