My Take
Tim Holt is one of those golden-age figures I think deserves more credit than nostalgia usually grants him. He churned out forty-six RKO B westerns, yet he also turns up in three genuine masterpieces, The Magnificent Ambersons, My Darling Clementine, and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. That range, from workhorse oater star to Welles and Huston collaborator, fascinates me. He was also a real war hero, decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross. There is an unforced sincerity to his screen presence that I keep returning to. Dying at fifty-four in 1973, he left a body of work that still feels honest and durable.
