What Was The Last Western You Watched?

Wagon Train
The Story of Horace Best Major Adam's down the line cousin who decides to reinvent the wheel and do a fancified version of wagons west. In it is a song called, "Go West with Horace Best". If you don't want to be singing this song, even in your sleep........don't watch it, LOL. Cute episode. Also watched The Colter Craven Story, the one directed by Pappy with a cameo appearance by Michael Morrison, (Duke) and Paul Birch as Seth's old friend Sam Grant who became the President Ulysses S. Grant. KEITH

one of The Roy Rogers Show

TCM ran the remastered version of "The Hanging Tree", which I hadn't seen in decades. I had recalled it was slow but I now realize that it was character development.
Not bad, but Karl Malden needed to be placed on valium.

We deal in lead, friend.

The Professionals for the first time, what a movie. Plenty of action and a good plot with twists and turned well played by a great cast. Probably one of the best Western's iv'e ever seen. An Instant favourite.

The Rounders, a really fun comedy with Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda, two old pros having a good time and it came across on screen. There was a great joke in there at Duke's expense aswell, when Fonda's character was asked why he was called "Howdy" he replied that he had to change it as his original name Marion was so embarrassing.

Red River

Wagonmaster

It's one of my favorties. I watched the commentary, too.

One of The Range Riders

TCM ran Howard Hawk's "The Big Sky" and I DVR'd it. I've mentioned this before, but this is great film. Not as good as his "Red River", but right up there behind "Rio Bravo".
Someone has to restore it and release it on DVD.

We deal in lead, friend.

Bill is either the best at sniffing out these images--or he has insider info on their location and availability. He certainly is to be worshiped on his talent of creating a great collection.

Hour of the Gun and Rare Breed for the second time, two very different Westerns but both were an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon

Bill has a nice set of Lobby Cards for Hour of the Gun ;-)) I wonder if he might have a way to post um?

Revolt at Fort Laramie (1957) John Dehner, Gregg Palmer
Not a bad picture. Gregg did a great job. Here is a summery of the flick:
Set at the outbreak of the Civil War, this film concerns a cavalry fort divided according to the loyalties of its troops. Dehner as the Virginian commander promptly hands over leadership to Palmer and leaves with those who side with the Confederacy. This leaves Palmer the problem of coping with a group of Indians who demand $50,000 to sign a treaty. When Dehner's forces are attacked by the Indians, Palmer joins him to fight them off. Performed and presented in routine fashion, with enough action and colorful photography to carry the story.

You might remember Gregg Palmer as Fatty in "Big Jake.

Gregg Palmer was signed by Universal in the 50s, along with guys like Eastwood, Rock Hudson, and Tony Curtis. He was being groomed as a star, but somehow fell into the supporting actor, then character actor catagory. A fine addition to any film tho.
