"The Ride Back" (1957)
-Anthony Quinn, William Conrad (who also produced)Plot: IMDB
A troubled sheriff, a failure at everything in his life, tries to redeem himself by extraditing a popular gunfighter from Mexico to stand trial for murder.Phantom's Review: While the plot is pretty basic, the actors do such a fine job that you find yourself totally into the film. Not a great movie, but highly enjoyable.

A couple of nights ago, I watched this movie again, which I think is a pretty decent Western.
Whenever I watch a movie having actors with which I'm unfamiliar, I always like to do a bit of research on their background.In "Geronimo", Jason Patric had a prominent part as cavalry lieutenant Charles B. Gatewood, who in real life was instrumental in convincing the Apache war chief to surrender. Patric did a very good job in the role but I wasn't familiar with him so I delved into his background on the Imdb website. I learned he had been born in Queens, New York, whereas the real Lieutenant Gatewood had been born in Virginia and was in fact the son of a Confederate veteran.
What surprised me so much was that Patric, a quintessential Yankee, spoke with a very believable Southern accent in the movie.

"The Ride Back" (1957)I would call that one a classic Western movie!
I watched The Big Sky, an old Kirk Douglas movie about the mountain-men travelling on the Missouri north-west to the unexplored country. -
"No Name on the Bullet" starring Audie Murphy. I enjoyed this with my two grandsons. Loved the scenery.

"Gun Glory" (1957)
-Stewart Granger, Rhonda FlemingPlot: A man, after abandoning his wife and son to become a gambler and gunfighter returns many years later, to find his wife dead and his son, now grown, resentful of him. He tries to make a go of being a farmer but soon has to defend his land against a cattleman trying to drive his cows through.
Phantom's Review: While the plot is standard, this is a well acted film with some good action and great scenery. Stewart Granger is fine as the gunman trying to make up the lost years to his son. Rhonda Fleming is kind of wasted as the love interest, but does good with what she has to work with.

"Broken Lance", has a top-notch cast but can't say that much for the screenwriting and direction. Kinda disappointing.

Hi
Bugles in the Afternoon a 1952 film about the Battle of the Little Big Horn with Ray Milland, Hugh Marlow Forest Tucker and Barton McLaine.
It was strange that in the film Milland's hair was thick and black, yet he blamed Reap the Wild Wind made in 1949 for causing him to go bald.

Gun GloryI know this movie, because Stewart Granger is one of my favourite actors, but the DVD is not available in Austria or Germany. The movie had a nice soundtrack too: Burl Ives singing the hymn of the The ninty and nine sheep!

Stewart Granger is one of my favourite actors
Mine too - I'm sure you have "Scaramouche", which is my favorite film of his. -
The Third Man My co-favorite movie of all-time. It had a great commentary track from Steven Sonneberg and Tony Gilroy.
