Cheyenne (1947) Everybody wants to be The Poet. Jane Wyman is married to him; Janis Page is having an affair with him. That’s because The Poet [Bruce Bennett] has been successfully robbing stagecoaches, until he is discovered and shot dead by gambler and Wells Fargo Agent Jim Wylie [Dennis Morgan]. Raoul Walsh directs this Western, where nobody’s good and everybody’s out for themselves. At least Jane Wyman escapes with all the money.
The spirit animal comes home to die.
The wilderness begins to simplify.
Mourning clouds the wandering eye.
The nose points north to the arctic blast.
Scraped from cold to hot, few species will last.
The spirit animal forecasts the past.
