The Western Films of Henry Fonda

Henry Fonda, along with his pal, James Stewart, helped to create a more naturalistic form of acting. Like Spencer Tracy, one could not catch them acting. Fonda in his 50 year career did several historical films and (18) Westerns; some of them classics. They were as follows:

JESSE JAMES (1939)
DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK (1939)
THE RETURN OF FRANK JAMES (1940)
THE OX-BOW INCIDENT (1943)
MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (1946)
FORT APACHE (1948)
THE TIN STAR (1957)
WARLOCK (1959)
THE DEPUTY (1959-61) TV series running 76 episodes.
HOW THE WEST WAS WON (1965)
THE ROUNDERS (1965)
BIG HAND FOR THE LITTLE LADY (1966)
WELCOME TO HARD TIMES (1967)
FIRECREEK (1968)
ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1968)
THE CHEYENNE SOCIAL CLUB (1970)
THERE WAS A CROOKED MAN (1970)
MY NAME IS NOBODY (1973)

I found some great images of his films, over 100 of them. Enjoy.
