The Man From Laramie

This is the second movie that I've recently seen that has been described as a "psychological Western." I'm not quite sure what that means. Perhaps it means that there eventually is some complexity as to whether protagonist should go through with his initial revenge plan. So I guess it's a warning that you aren't necessarily going to get a high noon faceoff?

Anyway, this movie was pretty good but not great. I really like Jimmy Stewart in the Anthony Mann westerns but I think I prefer the two others that I've seen (Winchester '73 and The Naked Spur) to this one.

Still this is well worth watching if you like Westerns at all.
