The Lusty Men / USA / 1952
One of Nick Ray’s greatest films, a contemporary cowboy melodrama focusing on a love-triangle where the tension between the two (lusty!) men is the real fulcrum. Specifically, we’re talking about rodeo cowboys here, and like many of Ray’s films, The Lusty Men functions as mini-ethnography, laying bare the alluring and dangerous world of bronc- and braman-riding, while spinning an artful melodrama about aging, fame, and failure.
For those keeping score, Wenders’ masterpiece, Kings of the Road, quotes this film’s opening sequence, in which Robert Mitchum’s Jeff McCloud visits the old homestead to retrieve some old treasures he buried under the house as a child.
Tip: When renting this film, put the video in a bag or something. The title of this film is bound to earn you some funny looks on the subway.
