If My Darling Clementine hit the spot, these will too

The same hand behind both of them: John Ford
The difference: Missing the melancholy of My Darling Clementine

Two things both keep coming back to: revenge and black and white

John Ford working the same nerve twice

Common ground: gunslinger

The same preoccupation in both: revenge
The difference: 30 years apart, and the 1970s show

Gritty western, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into drama than My Darling Clementine does

Western built on grit, twice over

Common ground in both: saloon and 19th century

Western with a pulse of relentlessness, in both cases
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

The shared currency is relentlessness

Both sit in the same gritty register
