| | USATODAY.com - Glenn Ford: Edginess exemplified (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Ford's characters often looked uncomfortable, but the nervous edginess the actor projected adapted smoothly to Westerns, film noir, service comedies (he specialized in frazzled officers) and regular-guy roles that called for earnest intensity. |
| | Ford manages to redeem a classroom soul or two — but only after members of a punk student body assault a female teacher and send another colleague's collection of rare jazz recordings flying. |
| | This was the first in a fine series of Ford Westerns directed by Delmer Daves — followed in yearly succession by 3:10 to Yuma (1957; Ford as an easygoing outlaw facing arrest) and Cowboy (1958; a sturdy cattle drive saga that also gave co-star Jack Lemmon one of his most unusual roles). |
