Warlock (1959)

A little-known western (search for it and you'll get Julian Sands' Warlock), it's pretty predictable, with the usual western recipe of a small town and the even smaller town mentality that goes with it, bandits and dames with secrets and secret agendas. Throw in the marshall and the marshall's bestfriend and you've got Warlock, generic western dead man's town. But I love it for two reasons: Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn. Chauvinist BFFs. That or an inch shy of brokeback. Anyway, so best friends for life, until you guessed it--a dame gets in the way of your best buddy's best-laid plans. In other words, Henry Fonda does what you wish your boyfriend would do when his buddies ask him to choose between spending time with you or drinking witht he boys.
