Run for Cover (1955)
7/10
Decent, Conventional Western with James Cagney Near His Best
24 September 2019
RUN FOR COVER, starring James Cagney, was directed by Nicholas Ray the same year he made "Rebel without a Cause". Some typical Ray motifs are present (surrogate father->son relationship, unrest caused by social injustice and prejudice, mob mentality), but it's more conventional than e.g. "Johnny Guitar". Still, it's well-paced, well-acted, even by John Derek, and very well photographed (by Daniel Fapp) - with an agreeable, typically Steiner-esque score by Howard Jackson. Certainly worth a look.
