Director David Jacobsen DOWN IN THE VALLEY plays like a romantic operatic lament for the disappearing cinematic & real-life icon the American cowboy Many of the elements that would fuse say a classic John Wayne character are present in Edward Norton (PRIMAL FEAR 25TH HOUR) character Harlan Fairfax Caruthers he polite soft-spoken yet stubbornly brave & handy with Colt steel & lead While at home in Death Valley in the mid 1800s these characteristics are positively anachronistic in modern-day San Fernando Valley How else to explain the reaction of a gaggle of giggling teenagers to Harlan as he pumps their gas?
