Elmore Leonard - Hombre & Three-Ten to Yuma 0 ▲ ResoluteReader 56 minutes ago · Film & TV · hide · 0 comments The 1967 Paul Newman film Hombre is a classic revisionist western. It was based, as many brilliant westerns are, on the 1961 short story by Elmore Leonard, which has been reissued recently by Penguin as part of their short Western Classic series. The book has an unusual protaganist in John Russell (played by Newman in the film). Russell is white, but grew up and lived with Apaches. Despite No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse.
