Raoul Walsh retrospective

Museum of the Moving Image, Astoria

The Hollywood director started his career as an assistant to D.W. Griffith and made more than 100 films, working into the twilight of the studio system in the early 1960s. Because of his many adventure films, gangster movies, and westerns, and because he worked with such icons of masculinity he has frequently been stereotyped as a rugged, straightforward action director. Yet his films are surprisingly lyrical and complex. While they often take the form of journeys, his movies reveal a penchant for episodic storytelling and psychological nuance.
