In a similar vein, I don't think anyone has mentioned Anthony Mann's
formalist masterpiece Winchester 73, which follows the eponymous
rifle as it passes from hand to hand.
Look closely & you'll notice that the enraged Indian chief in the
film, Young Bull, is played by a shirtless Rock Hudson. Not one of
our more culturally sensitive moments...
