Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Thursday, 23 May 2024 is Broken Lance.
Broken Lance is a 1954 American Western film directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Sol C. Siegel. The film stars Spencer Tracy, Robert Wagner, Jean Peters, Richard Widmark and Katy Jurado.
Shot in Technicolor and CinemaScope, the film is a remake of House of Strangers, with the Phillip Yordan screenplay (based on the novel, I'll Never Go There Any More, by Jerome Weidman) transplanted out West, featuring Tracy in the original Edward G. Robinson role, this time as a cowboy cattle baron rather than an Italian banker in New York City. It has been widely noted that the story bears a strong resemblance to King Lear.
