    I like Ford. 3:10 To Yuma is classic, but Jubal isn't IMHO. All a bit stagey and melodramatic, particularly on Rod Steiger's part.

    There's another Ford Western by the same director of both of these- Cowboy , which I watched earlier in the year. Far better than Jubal in my view.

    That was the only bit in Gilda I liked that much. Take that scene out and there's not that much there IMHO. One of those noir films I didn't take to; all a bit glib.

    Cowboy is kind of flat. The only reason I watch it is to see Jack Lemon in such a role. Jubal is a nice little piece of drama. It does have a flub though. In one scene you can see Steiger wearing a wrist watch.
    The older I get, the better I was.

    Given how Steiger was a method actor, he probably did that to show that his character was from the future.
