5. A classic film, classic pair

Of all the films that tried to reinvent and reinvigorate the Western, this one is the most charming.

The elevated train and facades used as Boliva in the film's montage of stills (originally built for 'Hello Dolly') were still there 16 years later when I worked at 20th Century Fox.

A uniquely satisfying film.
