Dana Andrews and Susan Hayward reunite for MY FOOLISH HEART, based on a very angry J.D. Salinger short story and directed by Val Lewton underling Mark Robson, who edited CAT PEOPLE for director Jacques Tourneur, who, after his own Lewton tenure, made CANYON PASSAGE starring this later feature's doomed couple, Dana Andrews and Susan Hayward.
The seventies' Western TAKE A HARD RIDE seemed to have several sub-genres at play, and yet, despite a small yet important role, Dana Andrews is the best representation since it's not a Blaxploitation despite stars Jim Brown (as Dana's friend), Fred Williamson and Jim Kelly, nor a Spaghetti Western with Lee Van Cleef on their trial, but more a modernized version of the kind of classic rough-and-tumble cowboy picture that Dana himself was a veteran of, from CANYON PASSAGE to THREE HOURS TO KILL, and before and beyond, including his last starring roles, TOWN TAMER and JOHNNY RENO.
