On Sunday, July 11th, PFS hosts two classic Westerns that diverge significantly from the stereotypical films the genre was famous for. The Ox-Bow Incident with Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan is first out of the gate with a story of vigilantism and injustice that has been compared thematically with 12 Angry Men. In High Noon the legendary Gary Cooper gives an Oscar-winning performance as the lawman trying to give up his badge for his new Quaker wife, Grace Kelly, who must struggle with both his conscience and the cowardice of the townspeople in once last showdown. Two powerful films that changed the genre forever. Showtime is 7:00 p.m.
