This is a must own classic for Western fans that chronicles the struggle of a Rancher driven into financial ruin by drought which forces him to take on a dangerous job for a bit of cash. He must escort a dangerous outlaw by the name of Ben Wade to a train bound for Yuma while being hunted and persued by the rest of Wade's gang. It's a suspenseful tale and this original film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's story is devoid of the action set pieces and superfluous drama that the 2007 remake featured. Criterion presents 3:10 to Yuma with one of it's most stunning transfers--perfectly showcasing the beauty of black and white photography. It also features a nice even grain that keeps the picture looking natural and provides a nice texture. A lossless mono soundtrack is available for purists and a 5.1 audio option is also available. The package is rounded off with several interviews an essay and beautiful cover art. It's a bit pricy, but Criterion's films are always a cut above.

Based on a story by Elmore Leonard (who had yet to become the major figure of popular fiction that he is today), this western from Delmer Daves is a crackling countdown to flying lead as rancher Van Heflin tries to get outlaw Glenn Ford on the eponymous train to Yuma, Arizona. Criterion's video transfer, made from a 4K scan of the original camera negative, is a knockout, as is the audio presentation. Extras are limited to a couple of 15-minute interviews and the usual Criterion booklet, but both interviews (with Elmore Leonard and Peter Ford) are illuminating, and well worth a watch.
