Join us as we discuss the 2007 film 3:10 to Yuma and the short story that was its inspiration. Topics this time around include morality, choices, toxic masculinity, the true meaning of sacrifice… and the gayest not-gay cowboy ever: Charlie Prince. Enjoy!
“Three-Ten to Yuma” is a short story written by Elmore Leonard that was first published in Dime Western Magazine, a 1950s pulp magazine, in March 1953. It is one of the very few Western stories that has been adapted to the screen twice, in 1957 and in 2007.
