Saturday will be the centenary of the birth of actor Joel McCrea (Ride the High Country, Sullivan's Travels) & TCM have been showing many of the movies mentioned in this just-over series from the LA County Museum, including the Sturges & Peckinpah films, but the big revelation for me has been Jacques (Cat People) Tourneur's incredible 1950 "Stars in my Crown", with Dean Stockwell, about a small town parson (the situation depicted in the poster omits the Bible he lays on the bar between his pistols!), never before seen, like one of Ford's "domestic" films, but less sentimental & tinged with eeriness...
