1+ everything cited above, and I watch the Western Channel on Directv everyday. I record Gunsmoke and Bat Masterson for later viewing.

[sundog]

Conagher
Quigley Down Under

+1 for The Cowboys and The Shootist

[Cap'n Morgan]

Unforgiven. Clint was never better!

Little Bill Daggett (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000432/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
Will Munny (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000142/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.

[Moonie]

Big Jake is one of my favorites, all those listed above are good as well, "He should have armed himself if he was going to decorate his Saloon with my friend" Unforgiven is a great film. It isn't an easy thing to kill a man.

[Col4570]

The big Country.

[RogerDat]

Outlaw Josey Wales is my all time favorite. Recently watched the Quick and the Dead (Sam Elliot) and that was pretty good.
All of the ones mentioned are good by me. If you want a comedy Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin in a musical western. Have to see that at least once. Or Support Your Local Gunfighter with James Garner or Local Sherriff both while not "great" westerns were funny.

[Ithaca Gunner]

Crossfire Trail and Open Range are two of my favorite more recently made westerns. Good story lines and great gunfights at the end!

[Der Gebirgsjager]

Nevada Smith. Then you can see Brian Keith sitting under a canopy in the desert reloading ammo with a tong tool!

[tdoyka]

true grit with john wayne

[doc1876]

Get on utube and check out When the West was Fun. It has great clips of the old cowboy shows from the 50s and 60s. Under no circumstances watch Lust in the Dust while eating. It is one of the sickest funniest westerns made, not classy like Blazing Saddles.

[Pepe Ray]

Just watched "Last Stand at Saber River". For the 3rd time. Watched carefully for the typical firearm period mistakes.
still can't spot any. Anyone else have any luck?
I still hate the way those scabbard-ed rifles slap the horses flanks when loping. I can't believe that was necessary.

All Great westerns, and I also suggest High Noon starring Gary Cooper.

"Red River" 1948 John Wayne and Joanne Dru

"She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" 1949 John Wayne and Joanne Dru

"The Quick and the Dead" 1987, with Sam Elliot and Kate Capshaw

Just about any western with John Wayne, Ben Johnson, Sam Elliot or Tom Selleck

In "The Shadow Riders" you get Sam Elliot, Tom Selleck, Ben Johnson and Katherine Ross (Sam Elliot's real life wife).

That was a joke right????????

[oldred]

One of the biggest blunders Hollywood ever made was failing to do a Quigley sequel!

Probably too late now as old as Seleck is getting, but with a bit of creative writing they might even be able to use that to an advantage. Not going to happen however so I suppose there's no point of even talking about it.

Yes, it was.

"The Man who Shot Liberty Valance"


I just watched this one a week or two ago and highly recommend it. Of course anything with John Wayne in it is worth a watch.

[RogerDat]

Open Range gets my vote for a recent western. The way folks missed an awful lot (even at pretty short ranges) and Kevin Costner having to stop and load on a regular basis, along with touches like the rough accommodations under a tarp for a rain storm just being taken for granted helped make Open Range an especially well done movie.

Unforgiven was also pretty darn good, never was sure if he was a pretty good guy that got very mean when drinking, or a pretty bad guy that tried really hard to live up to his wife's better expectations.

[Multigunner]

The first western movie to bear the title "the Unforgiven" (1960) is a true epic with elements of greek tragedy, Shakespeare couldn't have done better.
Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audey Murphy, even the guy who played Dr No. All star cast of great actors.

Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audey Murphy, even the guy who played Dr No. All star cast of great actors.

The book it's based on is written by Alan Lemay, same author as The Searchers, and it's every bit as good, maybe better. The movie absolutely sucked by comparison, even a cast like Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Audey Murphy and Lillian Gish with a director like John Ford couldn't save it.

Glad Seraphim Falls made the list, good movie and real different and not widely known it seems.

Another good one I haven't seen mentioned is The Oxbow Incident.

If you liked Open Range you'll like Broken Trail. Robert Duvall pretty hard to beat. Lonesome Dove, of course but there are other movies in that series. All are actually quite good IMHO.

[Jack Beauregard]

What? And no one even mentioned the greatest western in history, Once Upon a Time in the West? Sacrilege! :guntootsmiley:

Here's a hint. Just order the Encore Western channel and you'll get your fill of western programming with films already mentioned here like The Shootist, Silverado, Red River, Quigley Down Under, et al. My wife and I have a ritual where we always watch even for a few minutes just after climbing into bed. She won't take no for an answer on this one either. As soon as we get upstairs, she points at the TV and says "John Wayne!" thus giving me the my marching orders until she drifts off to sleep. :Fire:

Once upon a time in the west . Great acting and a great story. Fonda and Bronson were never better tks ken

[MtGun44]

Open Range has the best shootout ever filmed, and overall is a
really great western.

[waksupi]

I've got to throw in Cheyenne Social Club.

[Rufus Krile]

And for the Texicans in the crowd... "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean", w/ Paul Newman, John Huston, Victoria Principal, Ned Beatty, and the usual cast of characters. One of the characters in it was "Snake River Rufus Krile"... but he wasn't there long.

Bend of the River

The Man from Laramie

Destry Rides Again (or Destry if you're an Audie fan)

Among some of Jimmy Stewart's movies.

[alrighty]

The Searchers is perhaps my favorite.Open Range as mentioned is a classic. I will mention The Gunfighter with Gregory Peck and Rio Bravo as it is worth the price of admission just to see Angie Dickinson.

[LUBEDUDE]

Fastest Gun Alive - Glenn Ford

Streets of Laredo, part of the Lonesome Dove series- fantastic!

[smokeywolf]

"River of No Return" 1954 - Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe - Norma Jeane was still only 28 years old and was lookin' swell. As I understand it, a portion of the movie was shot on the North Fork of the Flathead River, right in front of the property that my folks owned some 14 years or so after the movie was made.

waksupi mentioned "The Cheyenne Social Club". Just got that movie on DVD about 6 or 8 months ago. Have watched it several times, great cast.

One more I don't think has been mentioned... "Vera Cruz" Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper.

For some laughs, "The Hallelujah Trail" 1965 - Burt Lancaster and Lee Remick.

Unforgiven ..Clint Eastwood..
I remember him saying he worked on this movie for a long time..He said is was like a little treasure he took out of a box every now and then.
There are no good guys in this movie,it is just all bad..:lol:

I also very much love reading Zane Grey.. he was a very brilliant author..
"The Needle Gun" , I am not sure where he came up with that ,but it sure fit the bill.

Anyone remember the Border Town show from the early 90s? I had good memories watching that, but can't recall if it was any good.

They were very popular with the western tribes. Read "Tough Trip Through Paradise,", by Andrew Garcia.

Very interesting,Thanks..
I think Zane Grey used the term very loosely as he referred to a single shot .405 win in one story as the Needle gun..I believe he was thinking it is a gun so accurate it would thread a needle..

[Clay M]

Hombre, with Paul Newman and Richard Boone.

Yes that was always one of my favorites. I love Paul Newman's 73 win in that movie..
I like the part of the movie when Richard Boone goes up the hill to have a parley with Paul Newman, and Newman says "I got a question, How are you going to get back down the hill?"

[Bulldogger]

I haven't read the book, but the reference makes me think of French Pin Fire rounds.

I don't have any Westerns to add to the list, but wanted to say thanks to all those who did comment. I have seen many of them, and own more than one on DVD, but I clearly have more gathering and viewing to do! also +1 on Outlaw Josie Wales. My all-time favorite, with several dozen close seconds, but Josie is at the top.

I have always assumed that needle gun was another name for pin fire, but maybe not.

[BruceB]

I have always assumed that needle gun was another name for pin fire, but maybe not.

The term "needle gun" became widely misused' back in the day'.

It all began with a very early European (Prussian, maybe) breech-loader which had its primer deep inside the cartridge, maybe attached to the base of the bullet.

The firing-pin was literally a "needle"... a long, thin pin which penetrated a light paper barrier in the head of the cartridge, passed through the powder charge, and struck the primer to fire the round.

The name became widely used for other early single-shots, for some reason.

Right ,and this is how Zane Grey seems to use it in some of his books..

[M-Tecs]

The Trapdoor Springfields were often referred to a "needle guns" by buffalo hunters. Claim was the long firing pin inspired the name.

When Hollywood thought they couldn't make any money on westerns the spaghetti westerns filled in for us western junkies. I still like them, plus all the other ones mentioned here.

The cabin that is in the movie sits in front of the Visitors Center here in the town I live in.

[gunshot98]

Just finished EL Dorado with John Wayne. Love all the ones that have been posted.

[LUBEDUDE]

Hildago- the Arabian Desert horse race, not your traditional Western, but pretty good.

[Col4570]

In the early days of movies some of the Native American Tribes still remembered the old times.You can see in some of the Films they where authenticly equiped.Some of the John Waynes early films seemed as if the actors where actualy living the life.Plus there where many weather beaten actors like Victor Macglegan.Who where naturals.
The more recent Dances with Wolves had that air of wilderness and isolation and touched on many aspects of the follies and triumphs those historical romantic days generated .

[Finster101]

All of the "Sackett" installments were pretty good. " Valdez is Coming" was an amazingly good movie that looked to be pretty accurate for the period. I am certainly no expert on older firearm history though. "Missing" was a very interesting movie as well.

[Janoosh]

I believe the "Spaghetti " westerns were the advent of the "dirty" westerns. Where characters were dusty, sweaty, dirty,etc. Some of the "Duke's" movies reflect that also.
The western from the late sixties to early seventies have alot of political undercurrents.

Oh.....missed one...

McCabe and Mrs.Miller

On TV.....Hell on Wheels..

[MtGun44]

OK, time to play the Grinch a bit. . . .

Elmer Keith despised Zane Grey as a person. He expected all the
best possible treatment in the wilderness on hunting trips at great
expense and then stiffed the outfitter (Keith) on the bill.

I've never read any of his books, and part of it is due to him being
a jerk and thief as a person.

Hidalgo is a good movie, but the guy that really "lived" that story
was a total con man. He told great stories about what he and his
horse had done in Arabian races, except it was all made up.

Apparently, he had people believing him and impressed with his
"celebrity" and giving him money for quite some time.

[Col4570]

Valdez is coming,a good movie but the scene when Valdez has to take a distant shot with his Sharps Rifle and he adds some extra powder from a flask to his cases and reseats the bullets then starts shooting villains at a mile is a little on the side of poetic license if you do,nt mind me saying.The Rifle is well capable of this but the manner of loading the ammo in my experience was questionable.Hope I do not sound too officious.

[LUBEDUDE]

About 10 yrs ago Spielberg produced a mini series for TV on TNT I believe, called INTO THE WEST which was quite good.

[richhodg66]

Lots of good ones on this list, one not mentioned:

Missing - Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett

The cabin that is in the movie sits in front of the Visitors Center here in the town I live in.

The Missing is a superb movie. Cate Blanchett is great, the best of the current crop of actresses in my opinion. I've seen her in several very different roles now and she knocks it out of the park every time.

Jeremiah Johnson

[waynem34]

I would like to see some modern westerns and some older Peckinpah revisits.

[LUBEDUDE]

I don't believe anyone brought up PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID with James Coburn, Kris Kristoferson, and Bob Dylan.
No matter what I'm doing or what part of the movie is playing, if I stop on that movie, I sit down and watch it till the end.

[Clay M]

Not exactly a western,set in Canada during the gold rush...1880's

Death Hunt.. Lee Marvin/Charles Bronson..

But the time line on some of the guns is wrong.. Lee Marvin the RCMP is using an 1898 Springfield .30/40 Krag..Charles Bronson is using a Savage 99
Great movie though..

[white eagle]

I really like westerns and you all have mentioned some of my favorites
but the one that I really like is Tomestone with Curt Russel
Lonesome Dove is another good series

[Clay M]

Wyatt Earp was also a good one. Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman

[LUBEDUDE]

Here's a late production I don't recall seeing mentioned, DJANGO, "the d is silent".

Christoph Waltz who played the bounty hunter was amazing( as he was in Inglorious Bas***ds. He won the academy awards for both). This made the movie worth watching.

[zardoz]

Guess I've seen everything already mentioned in the thread (I'm a movie freak).

Couple more that I do not recall being mentioned that are in my collection.

"The Stalking Moon", 1968, with Gregory Peck

"The Last Hunt", 1956, with Robert Taylor and Stewart Granger.

[LUBEDUDE]

Yeah, Stalking Moon is good!

[smokeywolf]

If you like John Wayne, you can't leave out "The War Wagon".

[clum553946]

"The Man who Shot Liberty Valance"
I agree!

Also my favorites are: Magnificent Seven with Yul Bryner & Steve McQueen & Rooster Cogburn with John Wayne & Katheryn Hepburn!

[458mag]

Streets of Loredo. If you haven't seen it your missing out.

[Col4570]

I enjoyed The Missing,that scary Indian with the Narcotic and Hot Pepper dust was the stuff of nightmares.Tommy Lee Jones was great as always,he seems to steep himself into every role he does.Kate Blanchette,was on top form.

How The West Was Won but for only one reason; much of it was shot in the Dixie National Forest. Streets of Laredo is underrated, so is Comanche Moon. CM book is well worth the read, much like Lonesome Dove.

[huntrick64]

OK, after this thread runs for about a month or two, we need to make a new thread listing just the titles (alphabetically) as well as actors. Then make it a sticky! I have seen most of the ones listed but a comprehensive list would be awesome.

I would definitely add "Jack Bull" to the list as it is in my top 10.

[captaint]

I have to watch The Searchers anytime I see it on. I love my boy Mose Harper. He's actually in 3 or 4 John Wayne westerns. Love Old Mose.

The Three Burials of Melquides Estrada: Tommy Lee Jones

A very good Modern Day Western depicting the cowboy way of doing the right thing and honoring a friend's request.

Something rarely seen these days.

Might have already been mentioned but "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" is a good one. FB

[gwpercle]

Rango... if we are counting animated westerns.

Everybody knows who Marion Morrision was ! Yeah...a first name like Marion was just not going to cut it!

When I found out my cousins real first name wasn't Bud, but Marion, and I called him that....he beat me up and made me cry and sat on me , wouldn't let me up until I promised never to call him that again.... It's been over 50 years and I've never called him anything but Bud ( and mean) since! Big bully! Hope he doesn't see this, too old for another whomping.

Anyone seen "White Comanche" with William Shatner playing two parts.Oh dear Oh dear,it could rank as the worst ever.I have every respect for William especialy his role in Star Treck but the western is awfull (to me).

"Two Rode Together", Jimmy Stewart and Richard Widmark were a good pairing. Linda Crystal looked at least as good, if not better, than she looked in "The Alamo".

The Hateful Eight trailer, Filmed in 70mm ...YES real FILM !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnRbXn4-Yis

DIRECTOR: Quentin Tarantino

SCREENWRITER: Quentin Tarantino

STARRING: Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, , Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Demian Bichir, Walton Goggins, Channing Tatum

With an Original Score by Ennio Morricone

GENRE: Western
In "The Hateful Eight," set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as "The Hangman," will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie's, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who's taking care of Minnie's while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all...

Not exactly a western,set in Canada during the gold rush...1880's

Death Hunt.. Lee Marvin/Charles Bronson..

But the time line on some of the guns is wrong.. Lee Marvin the RCMP is using an 1898 Springfield .30/40 Krag..Charles Bronson is using a Savage 99
Great movie though..
Death Hunt was set in 1931, and is a true story. The character Albert Johnson is made up however, as his true identity was never known. The character played by Lee Marvin, Sgt. Millen, was actually one of the first men Johnson killed.

I couldn't remember the exact time line of the movie.I will have to go back and watch it again.
I like it because it was one of the last great movies both Bronson and Marvin played in.
Both did an excellent job.
I still have an old copy somewhere on VHS.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller is a good one. This was directed by Robert Altman in a style similar to MASH. It's an unusual story with an unconventional shootout at the end.

Another vote for "Little Big Man."

[DoubleAdobe]

The Three Burials of Melquides Estrada: Tommy Lee Jones

A very good Modern Day Western depicting the cowboy way of doing the right thing and honoring a friend's request.

Something rarely seen these days.

Agree wholeheartedly, and another flick I would recommend is All the Pretty Horses, with Matt Damon and Penelope Cruz. Directed by Billy Bob Thornton. Do yourself a favor and forget your own and the principal actors (and directors) politics for the time it takes to watch it. Cuz, it doesn't matter in this rare case, IMHO.
Written by Cormac McCarthy, this and the other two books in the Border Trilogy are just exactly right to my way of thinking. Who ever taught or coached Matt Damon on his cowboyology and mannupedness deserves a daggum Oscar or a case of Wild Turkey, mo betta.

I will go along with that,some of the guff being fed to our younger generation via the media is not exactly character building.Those Uke players are enjoying every minute of their performance.If you ever get to see Last Night At The Proms, at the Albert Hall,it is obvious that many there still hang on to the old values that we where taught to believe in.

[OS OK]

166060166061166062166063166064 A picture says so much more…'best actor'/a toss up…'best director'/John Ford, hands down!

The wife an I enjoy the old one the most, lots of Indians 'cast' as themselves, no white guys allowed here! John Wayne in his first 'meant to be' A-movie in the Big Trail, the directors cut shows the hundreds of prarie schooners they used and filmed in multiple states, no expense spared on this one. One of the old ones has a 5 cent Coke bottle in plain view in a jail scene sitting on the bars of the cell. Another has a white pickup truck parked under an Oak tree in the distance up on a hill ridge…we get a kick out of finding mistakes in the old ones like things sitting on a table in one scene angle, then switching back and something has been moved or taken off the table all together. They are all wonderful.
The newer westerns after about 1965 just got too corney and cussy with too much comedy and the 'f' word and such. I'm one of those 'idjits' that literally melt into the movie and become part of it…looking around the set, examining the guns of the time/correct for period and such. I quit on National TV a decade ago and decided to collect all the movies I enjoyed…have hundreds of them now.

Really liked R. Scott in 'To the Last Man', it mentions a town close here to home, Grass Valley and the country they filmed in is just like Lake Tahoe area. Could go on and on about the details, about how the young 'soon to be' big stars looked as young men…just watchem!

Just watched Rio Grande for the umpteenth time.Now that was some movie full of believable characters.The Native Americans where real and had an authenticity about them,probably due to at the time of filming some had relatives who had fought in those late conflicts.All in all a good experience but I am not so sure about the perfect singing.Victor Mcgleglan was great and the duke swaggered is way through like he always did.I noticed the Troopers had Trapdoor Springfields and the Indians a variety of weapons a detail that most Gun buffs look for and right for the times.

One extra had interviewed M. O'Hara, the redhead…old but still a knockout, she got rather tearful as she reminisced.

I believe most where not so much acting as being their selves.I detect in some recent movies the actors may be trying to outdo those of earlier years and over acting.These views might be down to my age but when I see blokes like Ben Johnson handling their horses I can,t help thinking they where not far from the real thing.
Yes the IPhone,I have one due to Family members attempting to bring me into this century but I still do have hard wired Phones,allbeit Modern ones andTelegraph Poles still supply the house.In some ways I might be described as retro since my main shooting interests are with Black Powder Rifles both Muzzle Loading and Breach loading.I am a member of a Club that still has a few that shoot the old stuff.

Part of my collection extends back into the early thirties, oldest, I think is 28 or 29, this was the intro into sound era. Those old actors used to rely on expressions and mannerisms to convey the script, when on stage they really threw their voices. You can see this in the early sound pictures. Harry Carry and Noah Berry Sr. come to mind. And Ben Johnston…yes was the real deal, they took him right off his parents ranch, if memory serves his parents used to supply horses for the early pictures, think John Ford used him first and kept him in his stable…pert-near born horseback.

On the subject of Rio Grande,in some scenes the horses went down with the riders in fact one fell on a Trooper.This was an era before Computor Graphics,could it be that there was a certain amount of cruelty there that would,nt be allowed today or where there techniques to avoid injuries.

[Col4570]

Some of those old Character actors where priceless for their individuality.Walter Brennan,Andy Devine,Strother Martin,Barry Fitzgerald,Denver Pyle,Jack Elam all contributed to some epic movies.There where many others I have missed who where individuals who stood out due to their brilliant characterisations.Some just said the script and blended in naturally.

[OS OK]

Yes, my wife and I cringe every time we watch the scene from the rear of the wagon. She comes off the hook every time they trip up a horse and rider to go head over heels in the forward rolls at high speed. Canadian Yakima Canutt was the pioneer in this stunt business…you know immediately when he is cast by his unusual high voice. He and Wayne ran in the same circles in the early 30's. I forget which movie but Wayne almost lost his life trying to jump onto a buck board when only his lightning speed in reacting let him escape getting crushed under the rear left wheel. They left that in the cut of the movie.
It's so upsetting for the wife that she says, to this day…"I hope God will let me come back as an 'Avenging Angle' to round up these SOB's that treat the animals like this!" I personally wouldn't want to get caught up in her sights…been there done that…don't need see that movie again!

There were horses that were trained to take a tumblev deliberately, but there must have been injuries, and a broken leg doesn't mean a few weeks in plaster for a horse, unless maybe a famous racehorse that can earn a fortune in stud fees when he can do little else. It is nice work if you can get it, but a new career in dogfood for the others.

I have a copy of "A Rebel for a Horse" by Thurlow Craig, my favourite author on shooting, fishing, animal behavior and South American revolutions. He combined naval service in the First World War with writing a major newspaper's nature column until the 1980s. The book is signed with a gift inscription to Tex and Mrs. Austin, who brought the rodeo to London in 1920 and 1934, the latter being the year of publication. There was an outcry on the first occasion, since standards were quite different from rodeos today, and the injury and fatality rate among steers was very high. On the second visit Austin was briefly arrested, but a deal to eliminate calf-roping was reached, and an Act of Parliament later in the year banned various practices, including riding horses with a tight strap somewhere you wouldn't want it yourself.

I have considerable admiration for "Heaven's Gate", and never understood the virulence with which it was critically panned. It is all journalism of course, and I sometimes look at a group photo of the big ranchers' death squad, and wonder if the grandpappy of someone who drew a lot of water, as Napoleon used to say, is in there.

My grandfather, who met a man who fought at Waterloo but was too shy an infant to ask questions, would never watch television. He said on the radio you get better pictures. Don't forget that "tonto" means "idiot".

I also like "And starring Pancho Villa as himself", which shows how the early silent western industry really was. It describes (more or less) the making of the unfortunately lost "General Villa" of 1914, which was produced by DW Griffiths and starred Raoul Walsh as the younger Villa and Villa himself as the real-time version.

Yes I remember the Cisco Kid,Hopalong Casidy,Roy Rodgers,Gene Autry.As Kid we would be sent off to the Rex Cinema on Saturday mornings to see our Hero.I always viewed Hopalong Casidy as a kindly old gentleman,always immaculate in his perfect Stetson and Silver Buckles,polished Boots and upholding the Law against the Badies.
Slightly deviating,i remember reading that one producer was looking for genuine Native Americans for a movie,Anthony Quinn said in a later interview that he told the guy that he was of Indian blood and got a small Part in the production.He became a giant of the screen from that earlier start.
I also would go to see Johny Weismeuler as Tarzan,off course not a western actor but I regarded him as the definitive Tarzan all others before and after paling into insignificance his prowess at swimming and fighting crocodiles with his Knife.Ah the naivity of youth.

[Ural Driver]

While I do enjoy the old standbys there is always room for a 'maverick". Y'all need to give a look at a little known movie named "Cowboy". Made in 1958, it revolves around a hotel clerk that yearns to leave his boring job and become a real cowboy. Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon head up a pretty good cast that provides the clerk with a lot more realism than he bargained for. It deals with the sometimes hard realities of trail life, not your typical western.

Ah, but Rooster Cogburn's drunken cat takes some beating. I liked the sequel to "True Grit", "Rooster Cogburn", for the way John Wayne and Katherine Hepburn bounced off each other. He had made a lifetime study of playing John Wayne, and she was theatrically trained in such arcane arts as playing different kinds of people, even. The nearest thing I have seen was Errol Flynn and Bette Davis in "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex". Unlike Wayne and Hepburn (I think), Flynn admits in his autobiography that Davis. disliked him. I think it puzzled him that she didn't just like him the way he was.
