		One of Sturges' unknown gems, a germ thriller.

		John Sturges settled in Fairfield in 1660 in the 37th year of his age; he was made a freeman May 14, 1669.
		He is supposed by many to have been a son of Edward Sturges of Yarmouth, Mass., and to have gone to Fairfield, Conn., but owing to the absence of a portion of the Yarmouth records it has been impossible to establish this.
		It is believed that John Sturgis was the son of Edward Sturgis of England and Barnstable but no proof of this exists due to the loss of records by fire during the War of 1812.

	John Sturges VHS McQ :: CheapXboxGames.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I guess ones enjoyment of the film McQ (1974) is based largely on ones being able to accept a John Wayne aka Marion Michael Morrison in a role one would normally expect see a much younger actor in (Wayne was pushing 70 at the time), perhaps a Clint Eastwood or Steve McQueen.
		I was a bit skeptical at first, and maybe the fit never felt complete to me, but even for a man as on in the years as he was, I think Wayne did well, and the movie ended up being a lot of fun in a slightly cockeyed sort of way.
		I'll admit that on the surface John Wayne playing a tough, renegade, "Dirty Harry" style cop may be a bit far-fetched, but hey, it's John Wayne...few could ever match his screen presence so you just accept it as a pretty entertaining cop action film.

		John Forsythe, William Demarest, and William Campbell play three of the escaped prisoners, Marsh, Campbell, and Young.
		This 1954 film directed by John Sturges is not a great Western, but it is certainly a solid effort by all concerned.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Bad Day at Black Rock -- John Sturges - VHS
		Director John Sturges paces the movie superbly, building suspense steadily without resorting to cheap melodramatic hokum and creating an oppressive atmosphere of menace.
		Spencer Tracy is John J. MacReedy, a one-armed stranger who comes to the tiny town of Black Rock one hot summer day in 1945, the first time the train has stopped there in years.
		He looks for both a hotel room and a local Japanese farmer named Komoko, but his inquiries are greeted at first with open hostility, then with blunt threats and harassment, and finally with escalating violence.

	Westerns > Western Directors > John Sturges
		Novelist Leon Uris wrote the script for this Western directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven) and based on the life and times of Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) and his sickly companion, Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas).
		The action inevitably leads to the legendary battle between the two heroes and the villainous Clanton gang, but the film is also very much about the conflicts each man faces with women, with one another, and with their own destinies.
		Clint Eastwood's stardom was supernova, thanks to Dirty Harry; John Sturges, the man behind The Magnificent Seven and a dozen other memorably leathery Westerns, was directing; and Elmore Leonard was the screenwriter.

		To Sturges, it was a Western composed of pure situational comedy elements, a form of filmmaking that he had not tackled previously, plus the scope of the picture was truly daunting, even for Sturges.
		The day would usually start beautifully, and then the afternoon storms would come up." Worst of all, a stuntman named Bill Williams was crushed to death beneath the wheels of a wagon while performing a stunt.
		In order to properly promote the film, Sturges released the picture through United Artists as a "road show" picture, a special exhibition showing (usually at a prestigious theater on a reserved-seat basis and at a higher admission price).

	McQ by John Sturges: Video-hills.com
		Written by Lawrence Roman (A Kiss Before Dying), the movie was directed by Hollywood veteran John Sturges (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape).
		Starring is, as I mentioned, John Wayne (Rio Lobo, Brannigan), along with Eddie Albert (The Longest Yard, The Devil's Rain), Diana Muldaur ("McCloud"), and Colleen Dewhurst (The Dead Zone).
		Special features include a featurette titled McQ: John Wayne in Action, along with a series of trailers of other films featuring The Duke including Tall in the Saddle (1944), Fort Apache (1948), Blood Alley (1955), The Sea Chase (1955), The Train Robbers (1973), Cahill: United States Marshall (1973), and one for this film.

	Amazon.ca: Video: Bad Day at Black Rock [IMPORT] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		One of the first Hollywood films to deal openly with white racism toward Japanese Americans during World War II, this drama directed by 1950s action maestro John Sturges (The Great Escape) stars Spencer Tracy as a one-armed stranger named MacReedy, who arrives in the tiny town of Black Rock on a hot day in 1945.
		Casting is the film's principal strength, however: Tracy, the indispensable icon of integrity, and Ryan, the indispensable noir image of spiritual blight, are as creatively unlikely a pairing as Sturges's shotgun marriage of Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven.
		What could have been absurd pretentious morass is spared, largely due to the professionalism of John Sturges, displaying all the directorial virtues of craftsmanship, economy, and self-effacement.

Selznick as a production assistant and later as an editor.
		It turned most of its featured players (including Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn) into stars and was popular enough to generate four sequels as well as a major hit musical theme by Elmer Bernstein.
