Upon arriving in the small Western town of San Rafael, Maryland shipping magnate and former sea captain Jim McKay is met by his fiancée, the vibrant Patricia Terrill, daughter of cattle baron Maj. Henry Terrill. The foreman of Terrill’s Ladder Ranch, Steve Leech, accompanies Pat and mildly pokes fun of Jim’s formal Eastern attire, but Jim is not offended. Pat then drives Jim out of town to Ladder, but stops at the ranch of her best friend, schoolteacher Julie Maragon, to introduce her to Jim. On the long ride to the ranch, Pat and Jim are harassed by the Ladder’s neighbor, Buck Hannassey, and some of his Blanco Canyon ranchhands. When Buck playfully shoots off Jim’s bowler hat, Pat pulls her rifle, but Jim prevents her from firing. Although Jim is then roped and pulled off the wagon by Buck and his men, Jim refuses to resist and, believing that he is a coward, Buck and the men soon withdraw. Pat expresses amazement that Jim prevented her from using her gun and his response is de

11. The Big Country - cinema - VPRO Gids
Verenigde Staten 1958. Western van William Wyler. Met o.a. Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Carroll Baker, Burl Ives en Jean Simmons. Waar te zien?
Grootse western rond botsende families, machismo en toegang tot water. Gregory Peck kreeg de hoofdrol van ervaren zeeman zonder geldingsdrang. Aan de wal in het wilde westen verlangt zijn aanstaande vrouw (Carroll Baker) haantjesgedrag op de lokale apenrots. Eerste kandidaat voor een krachtmeting is boerenknecht Steve (Charlton Heston), waarna de confrontaties zich in traag tempo ophopen. Met bijna drie uur speeltijd en bewust magere verhaaltjes belicht The Big Country vooral de mythische Amerikaanse frontier-mentaliteit die de ‘verovering van het continent’ (persmap 1958) mogelijk maakte.

The Big Country is a fitting name for Wyler’s audacious, expensive, open-air western. It is closer to Stevens’ Giant (1956) in terms of expanse (beyond actually)- especially in comparison with Boetticher’s work or Anthony Mann during the same strech. This is an epic, Wyler is working on a massive canvas, 166-minutes, almost all exterior
