About Delmer Daves
Broken Arrow from 1950 opens with Stewart befriending Cochise, starting the pro Indian run. Jubal from 1956 follows a ranch hand triangle with Ford. 3:10 to Yuma from 1957 pits farmer Heflin against killer Ford in the genre peak.
Cowboy from 1958 takes Lemmon on a cattle drive lesson. The Hanging Tree from 1959 closes the western run with Cooper at a gold camp. A Summer Place extends it as the studio romance turn for completists. The Ford collaborations anchor the middle years throughout every film.
Good to know
The westerns share land but no plot, so release order shows the moral focus tightening best. Start with 3:10 to Yuma for the peak duel, then Hanging Tree for the gold camp close. Broken Arrow plays as the history turn. Cowboy works as the lighter trail tale with Lemmon learning the ropes from Ford himself.
