John Ford (How Green Was My Valley, The Grapes of Wrath), My Darling Clementine is considered one of the finest Westerns ever made. Henry Fonda is Wyatt Earp, a dusty but dignified and literate cattleman and ex-marshal who takes the job of Tombstone's marshal after his youngest brother is murdered and their cattle herd stolen outside of town. Disgusted with the town's violent and anarchic nature, Earp takes the job both to bring his brother's killer to justice and to rid Tombstone - which boasts the biggest graveyard west of the Rockies - of its barbaric, outlaw elements.The Grapes Of Wrath:Director John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath is more than an account of the Joad family, a depression-era family of dispossessed farmers who migrate from the Oklahoma dustbowl of the 1930s to the supposedly greener pastures of California. The film is the story of the journey of sharecropper's son Tom Joad (Henry Fonda), a bar room brawler who is converted into a union organiser. The Grapes of Wrath won Oscars for Best Director and Best Actress (Jane Darwell as Ma Joad) and was nominated for five others, including Best Actor (Henry Fonda) and Best Picture (it lost to Alfred Hitchcock's noir mystery Rebecca). More recently, the American Film Institute named it one of the top ten movies of all time.The Ox-Bow IncidentHenry Fonda and director William Wellman took on various commercial projects at Twentieth Century Fox in exchange for a deal that let them make this classic film. At a time when most Hollywood movies were patriotic victory dances whose sole goals were either fluff entertainment or patriotic morale boosters, The Ox-Bow Incident stood out as a complex exploration of human morality and an indictment of American values. Though the film did poorly at the box office when it opened, it has since become recognised as among the greatest releases of its day.

novel of the Great Depression--often regarded as the director's best film--stars Henry Fonda as Tom Joad. After having served a brief prison sentence for manslaughter Joad arrives at his family's Oklahoma farm only to find it abandoned. Muley (John Qualen) a neighbor now nearly mad with grief tells Tom of the drought that has transformed the farmland of Oklahoma into a desert and of the preying land agents who have plowed under the shacks of the sharecroppers. Joined by former hellfire preacher Casy (John Carradine) Tom finds his extended family including Pa (Charles Grapewin) and his indomitable Ma (Jane Darwell) packing their ramshackle truck to seek work in the fields of California. As the family treks across the country their dissolution begins with the deaths of Tom's grandparents at close intervals. When they arrive in California the Joads find only an abundance of poverty-stricken migrants like themselves and little in the way of potential work. Yet ever resilient they maintain their dignity hoping for the best. Among the talented cast Fonda does perhaps the best work of his career as does Qualen in the film's most haunting sequence. Director of photography Gregg Toland captures the suffering and the weathered luminous nobility of the Joads and the other uprooted drifting families creating striking images equal to the best work of Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. In a stirring film that stands as a microcosm of the depression experience of millions Ford gives poverty a human face in a way that was rare then and even rarer in the decades to follow as Hollywood films with a sense of class consciousness dwindled like a species nearing extinction.

PG) My Darling Clementine (1946): After Wyatt Earp's (Henry Fonda) brother James is murdered by cattle rustlers the frontier legend becomes Tombstone's marshal and sets out to avenge the younger man's death.

Along the way Earp falls in love with a schoolteacher named Clementine (Cathy Downs) which also pits him against the cantankerous Doc Holiday... (Dir. John Ford Cert PG) The Ox-Bow Incident (1943): Gil Carter (Henry Fonda) and Art Croft (Henry Morgan) ride into a town frustrated by the prevalence of cattle rustlers. Suddenly word comes that a popular rancher has been murdered which puts the already enraged town over the edge. When the spiteful mayor forms a posse Gil and Croft are swept up in their mission to seek vengeance even upon those innocent of any wrong-doing. As it becomes clear that bloodlust may win out over rationality the tension mounts in this masterpiece with its timeless message about the dangers of mob mentality... (Dir. William A. Wellman)

at a glance. The lid in the bottle is a nice size and is made from a sturdy black plastic material; the lid also fits snugly on top of the bottle and doesn't come off if you are carrying the perfume around in your handbag. Sometimes with some perfumes I find that the lids come off when I have them in my handbag, but with this particular perfume I don't find this problem.

Everybody my age had TY beanies, they were adorable! My close circle of friends and I were huge collectors and between us we have most, if not all, of them going! One of the beanies is Darling the Dog.
Darling:
Darling is such a gorgeous name for a dog. For some reason it reminds me of Lady and the Tramp, a Disney film I adore. It gives the impression that this little doggy is so sweet, and I must say - she is just that!
Appearance:
Darling is one of the cutest dogs in the TY range. Some of them look quite butch and threatening, which does go with their nature, but Darling here looks a lot more loving. Her fur is very soft to the touch, and quite thick too. It is made of a white colour with golden brown from her head to the tip of her tail. There is a little checkered bow around her neck to add that personal touch. She definitely looks ...
Advantages: Beautiful Scent Disadvantages: a celebrity perfume
I really love perfume. It is the highlight of any Christmas being bought more, but it has to be said I have rather boring tastes. You almost get stuck in a rut with buying the same perfume year in year out. Initially for me that perfume was Dior Addict. Yes the scent was a bit heavy, but it was a long lasting flowery smell which I adored. However, I came to university and the opportunity to buy perfume became rather non-existent. Last Christmas my boyfriend, hearing my cry of lack of perfume, invested in Thierry Mugler Angel, which was another favourite of mine. The last bottle I had ran out last week, so off I went to buy more, but when I got to Boots the price shocked me. So, in a brave step I decided to broaden my perfume horizons and branch out into something else. My choice this time was Kylie Minogue 'Sweet Darling ...
In another of his classic Westerns, John Ford again reflects upon the advance of civilisation on the receding frontier, recounting the events leading up to and including the legendary gunfight at the O.K. Corral. As they drive their cattle toward California, Wyatt Earp (Henry Fonda) and his brothers, Morgan (Ward Bond), Virgil (Tim Holt), and young James (Don Garner), stop outside Tombstone, Arizona, where they refuse an offer for their stock made by Old Man Clanton (Walter Brennan) and his son, Ike (Grant Withers). The three older brothers ride into town, and, after Wyatt subdues a drunk, return to the wagons to find James dead and their cattle stolen. With little doubt about who the perpetrators are, Wyatt decides to accept the offer to be marshal of Tombstone that he had just recently refused. Despite Wyatt's tense first encounter with melancholy gambler and gunslinger Doc Holliday (Victor Mature), a wary, tacit friendship grows between the two men, which is soon complicated by the arrival of Doc's former love, the demure Clementine Carter (Cathy Downs). Although ostensibly focused on the famed gunfight, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE's more concerned like many of Ford's films with the creation of a community, the rule of law, and the civilising influence of women on the wild and woolly West. When the showdown finally comes, it's without blood lust, as the Earp brothers conduct themselves with the ritual solemnity of samurai warriors. Given Samuel Engel's terse, elliptical screenplay, Fonda gives a subtle, brilliantly understated performance in the lead role, establishing a naturalist motif that is picked up and furthered by Joseph MacDonald's magnificent, barely lit shots of Ford's beloved Monument Valley.
