Charles, Deka, rectify that omission as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed.
I recommend RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY as a start. It could be considered a swan song for both Scott and Joel McCrea. McCrea did a few more but they were spaced over a number of years.
One of my favorites is Abilene Town. It's the archetypal western, with homesteaders vs sheepherders, merchants vs saloon owners and good girl vs bad girl - with the sheriff caught smack in the middle. Fine stuff.
I'm wounded. Randolph Scott is tops on my list. He had the looks of a Marlboro man, moved so smoothly, and had a wonderful manly voice. I like his films with Budd Boetticher, like SEVEN MEN FROM NOW. Currently watching his THE BOUNTY HUNTER on netflix - director, André De Toth.
Randolph Scott was an icon in the 1940's and '50's. He is even mentioned in "Blazing Saddles," "They Might Be Giants," and the Statler Brothers' song "Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott."
I've actually never seen a Randolph Scott film.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. To tell the truth. I am more a watcher of spaghetti westerns.

A great collection of posters.

ReplyDeleteI would recommend Ride the High Country, Abilene Town, Buchanan Rides Alone, and Ride Lonesome.
