Nouvel \u00e9pisode du feuilleton John Ford avec l\u2019un de ses meilleurs films. Il y en aura d\u2019autres, dans un ordre chronologique approximatif et lacunaire. Nous sommes loin d\u2019avoir tout vu du plus grand cin\u00e9aste de l\u2019histoire du cin\u00e9ma, m\u00eame s\u2019il est peut-\u00eatre, sans doute, notre cin\u00e9aste pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9, le plus \u00e9mouvant, le plus , le plus po\u00e9tique. Apr\u00e8s La Charge h\u00e9ro\u00efque<\/em> (r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en 1949) voici un autre western (r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en 1946) qui peut aussi pr\u00e9tendre au titre fran\u00e7ais le plus \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la plaque de la longue filmographie fordienne.

\"Henry<\/a>

Henry Fonda dans La Poursuite infernale<\/em> (1946)<\/p><\/div>\n

La Poursuite infernale<\/em> (soit My Darling Clementine<\/em>, le titre original est tellement plus beau et juste) existe dans deux montages diff\u00e9rents, disponibles en DVD. Il y a quelques ann\u00e9es fut d\u00e9couverte la premi\u00e8re version du film, tel qu\u2019il fut mont\u00e9 avant son exploitation commerciale. Plus longue de cinq minutes, cette version correspondait davantage \u00e0 la volont\u00e9 de John Ford, qui dut proc\u00e9der \u00e0 quelques retouches \u00e0 la demande de la Twentieth Century Fox. Ces modifications sont minimes et seuls les fordiens patent\u00e9s pourront appr\u00e9cier les diff\u00e9rences entre les deux versions. Par exemple, au tout dernier plan du montage de Ford, Henry Fonda (Wyatt Earp) serre la main de Cathy Downs (sa Clementine ch\u00e9rie) \u2013 ce geste en forme de litote exprime davantage la flamme de Earp pour sa dulcin\u00e9e qu\u2019une fougueuse \u00e9treinte \u2013 tandis que les producteurs exig\u00e8rent une fin plus conventionnelle o\u00f9 les deux amoureux d\u2019embrassent avant de se quitter.

\"La<\/a>

La Poursuite infernale<\/em> (1946)<\/p><\/div>\n

Mais on a le droit d\u2019ignorer ce d\u00e9bat cin\u00e9philique \u2013 pourtant passionnant\u00a0 \u2013 et admirer l\u2019un des plus sublimes westerns de l\u2019histoire du cin\u00e9ma et un sommet de l\u2019art fordien. Lorsque Ford met en sc\u00e8ne My Darling Clementine<\/em>, sur le combat du sh\u00e9rif Wyatt Earp et ses fr\u00e8res contre des \u00e9leveurs de b\u00e9tail assassins du cadet de la famille, cet \u00e9pisode v\u00e9ridique de l\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Ouest appartient depuis longtemps \u00e0 la mythologie des \u00c9tats-Unis et a d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 adapt\u00e9 plusieurs fois au cin\u00e9ma (il le sera encore apr\u00e8s le film de Ford.) John Ford avait lui-m\u00eame rencontr\u00e9 Wyatt Earp dans sa jeunesse et il pr\u00e9tendit avoir reconstitu\u00e9 le fameux r\u00e8glement de comptes \u00e0 O.K. Corral tel qu\u2019il s\u2019\u00e9tait r\u00e9ellement d\u00e9roul\u00e9. Vrai ou faux, on s\u2019en fiche, puisque le film touche au g\u00e9nie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Victor<\/a>

Victor Mature dans La Poursuite infernale<\/em> (1946)<\/p><\/div>\n

On admire sans r\u00e9serve la construction digressive du r\u00e9cit, qui multiplie les sc\u00e8nes annexes pour mieux laisser \u00e9clater la violence et la trag\u00e9die, la fausse nonchalance du rythme, la photographie cr\u00e9pusculaire. Les acteurs (Henry Fonda, Victor Mature inoubliable dans le r\u00f4le de Doc Hollyday, la sensuelle Linda Darnell) sont tous magnifiques et expriment \u00e0 la perfection la complexit\u00e9 des sentiments des personnages qu\u2019ils interpr\u00e8tent. Un chef-d\u2019\u0153uvre.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
