The Law and Jake Wade (1958)
Having seen A Majority of One countless times, I’d heard of the film The Law and Jake Wade. In the Rosalind Russell movie, it’s a running joke that whoever watches the movie thinks Robert Taylor is the same nationality as them. The actual movie is not a comedy. It’s a slow-paced western drama starring Richard Widmark and, yes, Robert Taylor. Which one is the law and which is Jake Wade? Well, since Widmark usually played bad guys, it’s a safe bet that he plays the outlaw. In this movie, he breaks out of jail with the help of the law (who is, incidentally, one in the same as Jake Wade), because a years-old debt needs repaying. Taylor, however, is a marshal at heart, and even though he spared Widmark’s life, he still feels the need to do his job.
Thrown into the mix is Patricia Owens, Taylor’s girlfriend. Patricia likes the straight-and-narrow Taylor now walks, as he used to run around in Widmark’s gang and get into trouble. When Widmark gets his hands on her, will he be able to manipulate Taylor into straying from the path again? Or will she switch her affections to the fellow with the crooked smile and the sparkly eyes? You’ll have to watch this western to find out, but don’t set your hopes too high. It is a little slow, especially if you’re not a Robert Taylor fan.
