"High Noon" Blu-ray. Seeing Katy Jurado reminded me of the classic scene from "The Wild Bunch" with Slim Pickens and her.
Hi Billlongley, the olive films blu ray of High Noon is fantastic isn't it!
I have been impressed with every release they have put out, western wise, so far.
The Man from Utah
Yes, that counts! I have never watched these. I missed them growing up obviously.
How about I try to send you a few? Morning P.
Don't know if this counts,but Wagon Train....The Andrew Hale Story. Excellent episode with John McIntyre long before he took over the actual Wagon Master's job after Ward's death. Super Story and showcases not only Ward but Charlie,(Frank McGrath), and Bill,(Terry Wilson), also. Keith
Whyever not?
Yesterday I screened The Shootist for the umpteenth time, planning to look only at the saloon decor...from the beginning I was once again drawn into the story and found myself watching every single second. Decor? What decor?
JB Books was a wonderful character, full of dignity and grace. He was a man determined to live and die on his own terms. As he went out he took with him some men who needed killing. I like that about him.
From my bias I must say that I believe Richard Boone (Mike Sweeney) was the best villain of the three. He projected extreme ill-will and menace for the brief time he was on screen. Lauren Bacall (Bond Rogers) seemed to shudder internally after meeting his character. The two other men were coral snakes, deadly when picked up, but Boone was a 4 meter rattlesnake, coiled and ready to strike with venom dripping from both fangs. We knew that Mike Sweeney had an agenda. Remember that Boone's line about retribution was improvised on the spot.
Oh, that John Wayne and Richard Boone had made more films together. Three wasn't enough for me. Then again, they did excel...
John Carradine's another favourite as the undertaker, Hezekiah Beckum. In his cameo he fleshes out an entire character of a sleazy man who will wrest every penny of profit he can from a man's corpse. Carradine went on to make 30 more appearances in film and television but this character stands out. It was perfect casting.

Lol! You'll be doing me enough of a favour sending my stuff!
Welcome to our Duke family, BillLongley. I don't mean to be pedantic, but I think that your reference to Katy Jurado and Slim Pickens was "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid", not "The Wild Bunch".
I viewed the Director's cut of Garrett this morning. There are actually three existent versions: the Director's cut, the theatrical edition, and Paul Seydor's version which contains some scenes from both versions and deletes others.
The scene with a wounded Pickens and a grieving Jurado, shot at sunset with "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven's Door" is just heartbreaking.
We deal in lead, friend.
Decor, what decor you say......correct. That is why the American Bald Eagle directly behind JB, (DUKE), was a very deliberate piece of symbolism.
Agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of RB as best villain! Even Gillom had been afraid of him and told JB to watch him......Man could play anything!...wished he were with Duke more also......just as I wished Ward hadn't died at 57 when Duke was only 53 or so. Man, they could have made some GREAT older guy movies. KP

Yes, but I want YOU to get to know Ward Bond as Major Seth Adams!

I'll have a root around. I'm bound to find them somewhere

Absolutely correct. I have no idea why I wrote that.
MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA, MEA MAXIMA CULPA!
I like the "Director's Cut" (actually Peckinpah's preview version)
From the chicken shooting scene to the end, really like that film
As they walk out toward the river, sun setting, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", the looks on their faces. It is indeed breathtaking.
I kind of mislead, anyway. I actually watch Gunsmoke every night. But I was just thinking last feature film 
I am obliged to you for your correction.
I deal in Pb myself, cast bullets at least twice a week. I suppose it's more like lead alloys, for me. Magnificent Seven. . .
Pale Rider......again!!
Hi there Bill,
Welcome to our little family as one of our other Bills put it! Nice to have you here.
Like the Latin...wonder if it was a prerequisite for school like my 3 years of it were?
Now....little help here, please. I hunt solely with a .45 caliber muzzleloader.....yes, deer also....it is an old CVA caplock. Although I can reload in about 20 seconds with the balls already patched.....it isn't fast enough in case I do not score an immediate knock down.......don't care to chase a wounded animal....hurts my soul....also makes the meat "gamey" from the hormones! SO, I have a holstered .357 Magnum 4 inch barrel S&W Model#19 that I always carry just in case. I am accurate with it to 35 yards.....after that.....well, I could miss the deer entirely, LOL. This is the thing. (I normally thoroughly scout the woods behind the house......there is a regular trail back there from the deer....stay downwind and hide....usually never have to shoot further then 20 yards!) Currently pour my own lead rifle balls, (get the lead wherever I can "scrounge" it), into my molds. Bill says he deals in lead....his quote. You say you use PB.....just joking about casting bullets twice a week, right? Anyway, I thought PB was 90% lead.....?
Haven't seen that movie. Will have to add it to my list. Thanks!
And Please check out The Group Watch. It is my pick this month, and there are some good screen catches and discussion on it already. Would love to have your "take" on it.
Again, welcome.....Keith2

Bill of course joined us back in April,
and a few of us posted our Welcome's then.
good to see you back Bill
True Grit. Love the movie..........seems Rooster and Kate's was better though. She grew to "love" that old codger. And BOTH of them insisted on doing a lot of their own stunts.
Lots of folks say that Mattie was miscast. I thought she was "on the money" for the character. You might not LIKE her character, but she played it to a T! Keith
So for my first posting after my laptop crashed and died about three weeks ago... I thought I would describe how I have been thoroughly enjoying Lee Van Cleef "spaghetti westerns".
I just can't get enough of Van Cleef. So far though, only the Grand Duel has been of watchable Picture and Audio Quality.

Couldn't agree more Jim
Yes, I cast ~twice a week. I shoot every day.
Pb is the chemical symbol for the element, lead.
When I use the symbol for lead, I mean lead, to wit, 99.9% lead. Like one would acquire from rotometals.
Lyman #2 is 90% lead and it's pretty darn hard alloy.
I use WW/lino at 50/50 for my BFR in 500 S&W Mag.
*WW= Wheel Weight
I still cannot understand why I typed "The Wild Bunch". . . trust I have answered your questions and good luck hunting. As a matter of fact I think I'll walk across the ditch and see if I can get a couple of tree rats for supper.

ethan:
Indeed I did. My apologies for not posting more. I intend to correct that.
Good group of folks here. And thank you for the "re-welcome"
Hi Bill....nursing taught me my chemical symbols, LOL. Speaking of tree rats....shoot them with my .45ML also. In 20 years, only messed up the meat once....just a little of the shoulder on the way to the head.....not much there anyway.
In fact, here is a pic of an American Mountain Man friend of mine and me after a quick run to get some tree rats to go with the dove we would shoot that afternoon, (ever shoot a smooth bore muzzleloader.....Lordy!). Tree rat blood does not come out of buckskins,LOL!
