Giveaway for Legends of Western Cinema Week 2024

Time to see what kinds of prizes I have gathered up for you this year, eh?  Here they are:


Details on all the prizes:

1.  A used DVD copy of High Noon (1952) -- A new bride (Grace Kelly) pleads with her husband, the town marshal (Gary Cooper), to flee town before a deadly killer (Ian MacDonald) returns to town seeking vengeance.  Directed by Fred Zinnemann.

2.  A used DVD copy of Shane (1953) -- A wandering gunfighter (Alan Ladd) teams up with a stubborn rancher (Van Heflin) to defend homesteaders from a greedy cattleman who wants to take their land.  Directed by George Stevens.

3.  A used DVD copy of Gunfight at the O. K. Corral (1957) -- Lawman Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) teams up with his brothers and his friend, gambler Doc Holliday (Kirk Douglas), to take down Ike Clanton (Lyle Bettger) and his rotten followers in this highly fictionalized and very fun version of the famous Tombstone gunfight.  Directed by John Sturges.

4.  A Western Screen Legends coloring book -- I got myself one of these and liked it so much, I got another to share with one of you!

5.  A set of cowboy-themed stickers -- because they're cute.

All three of the DVDs play in my DVD player, but I can't guarantee they will work for you, of course.  I decided that my movie prizes this year would all be 1950s westerns featuring famous showdowns.  Kind of fun to have a sort of theme going for the prizes, I thought.

Please comment on THIS post and tell me what your top picks for a prize would be!  I can't guarantee that winners will get one of their top choices, but I do try to match winners and prizes.  If you already own one of the prizes and don't want a second copy, please comment with that info too!

    Oh, what fun prizes this year! The stickers are awesome and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral sounds like an exciting watch.

  2. Ooh, nice prizes! I'd love Gunfight at the O.K. Corral or the fun stickers... I do already have a copy of High Noon.

  3. Wow, this is really generous. Since US Region DVDs don't play in my European player - stickers or book, I guess...

  4. Well, I can only participate in the party as a guest - still don't have my own blog. So if I don't qualify, never mind!

    1. Andrea, that is fine! Only one of the ways to enter involve posting on your own blog -- the rest are things you can totally do!

    2. I'm not quite sure about the "comment on one of my (your...) Western reviews" (I might be thick as two planks, but "share the URL here" baffles me)

    3. And I don't yet see my question, right? As I say, thick as two planks (and we poor Europeans don't have air condition, so probably brain meltdown...)

    4. Hi, Andrea! You didn't see your comment right away because I have set my blog comments to full "moderation" so no one can see each others' answers to the movie quiz I shared yesterday. It keeps people from being tempted to cheat off each other. But that means all comments are withheld until I "okay" them behind the scenes. Just like comments on older posts always are for both my blogs, which cuts down on spammers.

      To answer your original comment, that one means you can "earn" an entry into the giveaway each day by commenting on some western movie or TV show review of mine on this blog (a href="https://hamlette.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html">full list on this page). "Share the URL here" means that, after you comment on a western post, you copy the web page address (also known as a URL, or uniform resource locator) and paste it into the box in the giveaway widget tab. That just lets me check to be sure that someone using that tab to enter my giveaway really DID comment on one of my posts, without having to go hunting.

    5. Oops, messed up my html link there. Here is the page with links to all my western movie and show reviews.

Agree or disagree? That is the question...

Comments on old posts are always welcome! Posts older than 7 days are on moderation to dissuade spambots, so if your comment doesn't show up right away, don't worry -- it will once I approve it.

(Rudeness and vulgar language will not be tolerated.)
