Desperate for money, frontier rancher Van Heflin holds outlaw Glenn Ford at gunpoint, intending to collect the $200 reward. While both men await the train to Yuma that will escort Ford to prison, the cagey outlaw offers Heflin $10,000 if he'll set Ford free. The rest of the film is a sweat-inducing cat-and-mouse game between captive and captor, interrupted with bursts of violence from both Ford's gang (commandeered by Richard Jaeckel) and the vacillating townsfolk.

The Library of America published a volume of Elmore Leonard's Westerns which included his famous 1953 short story "The Three Ten to Yuma". I have become an admirer of Leonard and Westerns and took the opportunity of mandated time at home to watch this 1957 film, the first of two movie adaptations of Leonard's story. The second version, which I haven't seen, dates from 2007.
The 1957 film was directed by Delmer Davies and stars Glenn Ford as the outlaw Ben Wade and Van Heflin as Dan Evans, a struggling rancher who undertakes the unenviable task of taking Wade from Bisbee, Arizona to the Yuma prison after Wade and has gang have robbed a stagecoach and killed a man. Most of the film takes place in the town of Contention City in a hotel room where Evans holds Wade under guard for several hours waiting for the 3:10 to Yuma. The film is full of tension as Wade tries to cajole, bribe, and threaten Wade to let him go. Wade is a man with something to prove to himself and, as he sees it, to his wife and two young sons.
The acting by both Heflin and Ford is convincing and captures the ambiguities in the hearts of both characters. The two leading women actors, Felica Farr as Evan's wife and especially Leona Dana as a lonely bar maid who falls for Wade, also add a great deal to the film. The cinematography is highly realistic with dusty roads, small towns, craggy ridges, and the steam train -- the storied "3:10 to Yuma" which Frankie Laine celebrates in the title song.
The film captures much of Elmore Leonard's interplay between the two main characters, but the names and many of the details of his story are changed. The changes help enhance this film, which is listed on the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
I was glad to be reminded of Elmore Leonard through this film which is a classic in its own right. Those who are home-bound with the current pandemic may find watching this film enjoyable and a worthwhile use of their time. I am looking forward to watching the 2007 remake.

Intense
It was one of the Intense Westerns that I have ever seen with two great actors.

Interesting twist
Glenn Ford was one of my favorite actors. The interesting twist to me was his change at the end to let Van Heflin be the winner.

A revival of the genres!
Excellence! This movie really captures the feel that the older B-movies had, while bringing some fresh faces to westerns.
