🎞️ Cluster 2 — The Loner With a Code

Theme: Newman as the outsider who lives by his own rules — quiet, principled, dangerous. Films:

• 
  

• The Left Handed Gun (1958) — a psychologically complex Billy the Kid.

• The Outrage (1964) — Newman as a bandit in a Rashomon‑style morality tale.

• The Young Philadelphians (1959) — not a Western, but Newman’s frontier‑style moral outsider energy is unmistakable. (Included based on cross‑genre outlaw persona; no Western citation)

Angle: These roles highlight Newman’s gift for playing men who stand apart — not villains, not heroes, but something in between.

The Sting (1973)

Jeremiah Johnson (1972)

Little Fauss and Big Halsy (1970)
