American Short Story Collection: Blue Hotel

Befriend your neighbors with this cautionary tale about prejudice. Based on Stephen Crane's 1899 short story, this Western follows a Swedish immigrant who travels to Nebraska in the 1880s. He believes the desolate town is full of murderous thugs, and, inhis foolish fantasy, unwittingly attracts danger, with devastating consequences. A morality tale for the ages, "The Blue Hotel" (1977) is directed by Academy Award winner Jan Kadar, and hosted by Henry Fonda.
