Man of the West

Man of the West is a 1958 western film directed by Anthony Mann in his last film of the genre. The screenplay, written by Reginald Rose, is based on the novel The Border Jumpers by Will C. Brown. When first released, the film was largely ignored by American critics, though renowned French critic Jean-Luc Godard regarded the film as the best released that year. In the decades since the film's release it has garnered a cult following as well as considerably greater acclaim from professional critics. Some, such as The Guardian's Derek Malcolm consider the film the best film directed by Mann [1] and a landmark western in the western genre canon. Malcolm included the film in his 2000 list The Century of Film.
