'Brokeback Mountain' 1959 style
What was unsaid back in 1959, when no one ever spoke of lies and secrets, was that in "Warlock" there was a definite "gay" relationship, suggested in the film rather than discussed, between Clay Blaisdell (Henry Fonda) and Tom Morgan (Anthony Quinn), two extremely macho gun-toting cowboys. I couldn't help remembering it when recently viewing "Brokeback Mountain," a modernized and MUCH MORE EXPLICIT homosexual relationship between Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. "Brokeback" is, by far, the superior film; look for it at Oscar nomination time.
