Westerns
Re: Westerns
.
I saw Three Violent People years ago when I was very young and have to admit I loved the scene where Heston wakes up and literally turns Anne B. upside down thinking she took his money. Tom Tryon only made a few movies in his time, but they were all A-List ones. I was so sorry when he quit acting to devote his time to writing, but I guess after the success he had with The Other, he couldn't help himself. I know he wrote a couple more best sellers, but don't recall the names. I saw Three Violent People during my 'crush' stage, when all an actor needed was a handsome face and a nice body which both Heston and Tryon had in spades. Tryon basically left movies quite soon, but stayed busy on T.V. for years. He also had his own cowboy weekly series - John Slaughter, but when he started writing, he disappeared from the celebrity scene. Even as a successful writer, he was rarely seen at premiers and such.

Re: Westerns
April:
If you want a crisp little "B" to catch you might try "The Lone Gun." It stars George Montgomery and Dorothy Malone. It is streaming on Netflix.
Montgomery meets up with Frank Faylen on the road into town. When they get there Montgomery is drafted to become sheriff, reluctantly, as is soon drawn into investigating a murder and a cattle rustling operation. It's a fairly routine story that I thought was pretty well done.
As a set of brothers you'll find Neville Brand and Robert Wilke. Playing Malone's brother is Skip Homeier. Some other familiar faces are on board. At only 75 minutes it moves along and I think the cast does a nice job.

Re: Westerns
I've seen that one, thanks, Chris. I like Dorothy in most anything. George is so so. Neville is always fun to watch.

Man. What could the mother of these two have been like? Hope Emerson in her Caged mode? Blanche Yurka in her mad Madame DeFarge character?movieman1957 wrote:As a set of brothers you'll find Neville Brand and Robert Wilke.

Re: Westerns
Ha! Walter Brennan was so mean in My Darling Clementine--he might have been a relation of Brand & Wilke! And I love your new avatar, Miss G.

Re: Westerns
Be careful out there, April. Let us know when you get back home safely. It's really coming down hard! I didn't think we were going to get much of anything.

Re: Westerns
I didn't think we were supposed to get any real snow here. But there it is, so thick you can barely see through it. It IS beautiful though. it's like being inside a snow globe or a big white down blanket. I swear I've seen flakes an inch and half across, floating like feathers down to the ground.

You're so poetic, Wendy. I'm afraid the words that I would use to describe this would turn the air from white to blue.JackFavell wrote:I didn't think we were supposed to get any real snow here.

Re: Westerns
We actually will not be receiving our daily dose of snow today--though after midnight we are getting a few more inches. I think it is mainly coastal communities that are getting pounded with this storm. Please stay safe.
