The first episode of Hatfields and McCoys. If you can call it a western, can't make my mind up about yet.
Regards
Arthur
Hi Arthur, keep us posted on this one, I've been skirting around the edges of buying this one so would be really interested to hear what you think of it.
Regards, Peter
I saw all the installments when the first aired. It's a very interesting "take" on things. I wouldn't call it a pure western by ANY stretch of imagination, but it's a compelling tale set in a "rustic" setting, much like JW's "Shepherd Of the Hills..."
For those of us who love U.S. history, grew up in a rural/semi-rural locale (East Tennessee), have an interest in how legends got started, it's perfect.
It's done well, and it's very thought-provoking.
Pursued on Olive Films. Directed by Raoul Walsh, starring Robert Mitchum, Dean Jagger, Alan Hale and a small part for Harry Carey Jr.
Fantastic, unconventional Western, one of the best I've seen recently.
Olive Films remastering is as good as ever. Def worth checking out if you haven't seen it, IMHO!

I never heard of Olive Films till Peters posting. I checked into a list of some they are releasing and was VERY pleased to see a few Charlton Heston Westerns included. I;e: The Pony Express as well as The Savage. I didnt know that they somehow gained control of the stock of movies that had belonged to Republic Studios.

Hi Carl, Paula posted an extensive list of upcoming republic titles which includes some amazing titles.
No idea where it is but if Keith reads this may the list could be moved to the olive films dedicated thread! I'd do it but don't think i can!

Lol! I know this thread all too well, especially as I badgered you to set it up!
I couldn't remember if it had Paula's original list of upcoming titles on it, but indeed it has.

I saw the list and I have many of them but released by some other company. I joined the home theater site just to get more info on releases. From what I can remember reading--sounds like Olive Films will eb very expensive. I alsr read on the same site that they might not be releasing The Savage. Oh and, I found a source for a VERY scantily shown and little known Charlton Heston classic called: Counterpoint. Someone released it on DvD and I have the info written down somewhere and hope to find it again? Anyway, I saw it once about 30 years ago and loved it. I think it was shown on WTBS (long before TCM was thought of) and would like to see it again.
In Old California
The lawn damage is repaired, the fallen tree branches are stacked, and I was in the mood for a treat - "Tombstone".
What a hell of a western.
"You tell 'em I'm coming!"
We deal in lead, friend.

Glad it passed without too much damage. Great way to treat yourself with Tombstone!
Caught up with the 1955 version of The Spoilers-not as bad as I remembered, not as good as Duke's, but very watchable.
The Undefeated w/ Duke, Rock Hudson, Ben Johnson, Bruce Cabot, Jan-Michael Vincent, and many others.
Rio Grande. It gets me EVERY time...
Trail Street. Randolph Scott, Robert Ryan and Gabby Hayes.
Another top Scott Western with some lighter touches.
Watched something big with Dean Martin and Brian Keith, was a dissapointing film, it started slow and continued that way, I love Deano but this film just didn't work for me, though the scenes between him and honor blackman were interesting.
Jonah Hex. I admit I enjoyed it but still dont care for the supernatural thing.
