archives february 2016 devil s doorway sept 15 1950 posted on february 29 2016 by adam lounsbery devil s doorway 1950 directed by anthony mann metro goldwyn mayer the great director anthony mann worked in a lot of different genres but he s most revered today for his noirs and his westerns mann directed three westerns that were released in 1950 winchester 73 was the first one released in theaters but he finished shooting both the furies and devil s doorway before starting work on winchester 73 with star james stewart winchester 73 was far and away the most successful and it s still a favorite of western fans mann and stewart also went on to make several more highly regarded westerns together devil s doorway remains the least widely seen there are a lot of reasons for film fans particularly western fans to see devil s doorway it breaks the traditional mold of the western by having heroes who are native americans and villains who are white settlers it s well written tightly paced and beautifully shot it was also the last movie mann made with cinematographer john alton who shot some of mann s greatest films including t men 1947 raw deal 1948 and border incident 1949 like he did in border incident alton turns wide open spaces big skies and towering western mountain ranges into dark oppressive spaces that seem to be closing in on the tiny humans who inhabit them devil s doorway is one of the best looking black white westerns i ve ever seen my one real problem with devil s doorway and it s a big one is the casting of robert taylor as broken lance poole a shoshone who served in the union army during the civil war poole is a medal of honor winner who returns home to find that the land where he grazes his cattle is going to be overrun by homesteaders and sheepmen poole petitions to homestead his own land but his petition is rejected because he is not an american citizen but rather a ward of the government hollywood has a long history of casting white actors to play non white characters especially if they are the lead of a film and in this respect devil s doorway is no different from the other big western released in 1950 with native american heroes broken arrow which starred jeff chandler as cochise but i found robert taylor especially bad at the time of filming taylor was pushing 40 but he looks a decade older he also looks not at all native american at least he doesn t put on a goofy accent or speak in pidgin english but he still looks completely wrong for the role when i was watching him i couldn t stop thinking about jon lovitz playing tonto on old episodes of saturday night live aside from the presence of a miscast and aging matinee idol as its protagonist devil s doorway is a powerful western drama with beautiful cinematography and some stunning battle sequences it s definitely worth seeing along with mann s other westerns 3 comments posted in 1950 september 1950 and tagged anthony mann edgar buchanan guy trosper john alton louis
