Given your love of the genre, you really need to explore the Randolph Scott- Budd Boetticher films. Start with the first and probably best, SEVEN MEN FROM NOW, with one of Lee Marvin's best performances ever.
ReplyDeleteAnd then let me tout a nearly-unknown film by William Wellman, WESTWARD THE WOMEN (1951), in which Robert Taylor, practically by himself, brings 150 women (100 by the end) from Chicago to Northern California to marry the men they have chosen from a picture. It is brutally realistic, especially for a 1951 MGM film, but it seems to be one of those pictures shot on a distant location where the studio was unable to interfere. Three highlights -- lowering the wagons down a long rock slide; the aftermath of the Indian battle; and the final meeting and dance between these brave, tough women and their new selected husbands. You'll be gobsmacked that thjis film isn't already famous.
Hello, Lockhart! Thanks for the enthusiastic recommendations :-) I've actually seen both Seven Men from Now and Westward the Women, and I agree they are excellent! Perhaps I'll review both of those one day!
DeleteI've seen probably 10 times as many westerns as I've reviewed here (and that really goes for movies in all genres). A movie review takes me from half an hour to several hours to write, depending on how much I have to say about it, and there are loads and loads of movies I love that I haven't reviewed yet here, even after 22 years of blogging. (For instance, I've yet to review more than a quarter of my 100 favorite movies.)
If I like a movie, I try to wait until I've seen it twice before I review it because I feel like I understand it more thoroughly then. (If I review it after having seen it only once, I put "Initial thoughts" in the post title so people know this is not a movie I have seen repeatedly and feel like I definitely get.) And I've only seen both Seven Men from Now and Westward the Women once because I watched them at my parents' house, and they live half a continent away. So I'd like to see them again, and probably will eventually!
