Abstract
ABSTRACT The essay examines three films that Hollywood director Delmer Daves made in the mid-1950s—Jubal, 3:10 to Yuma and Cowboy—all of which starred Glenn Ford. The pairing of Ford and Daves, the essay argues, allowed Daves to re-think the Hollywood Westerns of the 1930s and 1940s, especially regarding questions around gender identity and representation of genders, that of the Western man. In doing so, these three films present an anti-nostalgic view of the traditional mode of American Western masculinity as violent, non-verbal and threatening and instead embrace a version of American masculinity that is verbal, compassionate and considerate. Through a close analysis of the films, reviews of them and marketing, the essay demonstrates how Daves used his own family background to construct Westerns that featured more adult themes and addressing the larger societal concerns about the notion of American masculinity and manhood in the 1950s.
对50年代好莱坞西部片的再思考:德尔默·戴维斯的男子气概三部曲《朱巴尔》(1956)、《3:10 to Yuma》(1957)和《牛仔》(1958)
本文考察了好莱坞导演德尔默·戴维斯在20世纪50年代中期拍摄的三部电影——《朱巴尔》、《3:10 to Yuma》和《牛仔》，它们都是由格伦·福特主演的。这篇文章认为，福特和戴维斯的搭档让戴维斯重新思考了20世纪30年代和40年代的好莱坞西部片，尤其是关于性别认同和性别表现的问题，即西方男性的问题。在这样做的过程中，这三部电影呈现了一种反怀旧的观点，即美国西部男性气概的传统模式是暴力的，非语言的和威胁的，相反，他们拥抱了一种语言的，富有同情心的和体贴的美国男性气概。通过对电影、评论和市场营销的仔细分析，本文展示了戴维斯如何利用自己的家庭背景来构建西部片，这些西部片以更多的成人主题为特色，并解决了20世纪50年代美国男性气概和男子气概概念的更大社会问题。
