Oh, yes. There are some films where it becomes pretty obvious that the acting is irrelevant to the director, that Telling a Great Story is the goal, and
how it's told is not the point. (See pretty much any version of
Beowulf.) However, Ron Howard recognized that it's also important to Interest Your Audience!
I'm currently watching the original
3:10 to Yuma; my review today will be a comparison of the two. Yesterday's was
The Desperate Hours, Humphrey Bogart's penultimate film and the last one in which he played a gangster.
