Glenn Ford, Dale, Roy, and Gene Autry.
Some nice posters for Ford's, "The Violent Men-1955.
At the "When The West Was Fun"-1979 TV Special.
Roy, Dale,Trigger, with George Gobel.
This is Merv Griffin's third Warner Brothers western.
16) THE CHARGE AT FEATHER RIVER-1953, Warnercolor, 3-D, Guy Madison, Vera Miles. Watched an off air recording, not 3-D.
Guy Madison leads a 'Guard House Brigade' of 'volunteers' to bring back two captive white women.
Guy declines at first...
I looked at a 2017 download of the Miss Universe episode. It was the rerun version and the Moon River tune was there.
It could of been added to the rerun version in the 60s. But it could also have been original to 1957. The tune might have been around but didn't become a hit until they shopped...
Don't forget, COLT .45 was a 'half-hour' show. 67 COLT.45 episodes are equal to 33.5 'hour' long episodes of 77 SUNSET STRIP. So that's $80. for 33.5 hour shows
So a 206 episode 77 SUNSET STRIP set would be around $492.99.
At this point I'd be happy just seeing 77 and the other classic WB...
Frank/Borisfw, I have to get me a pair of them store-bought specs. I thought your wrote that THE SILVER WHIP was a "fairly giddy up" western.
I like THE SILVER WHIP. In a way it's a sort of dry run for Dale Robertson's TALES OF WELLS FARGO.
THE SILVER WHIP shares its' opening score with at...
15) FLAMING FEATHER-1952, Technicolor, Paramount, Sterling Hayden, Barbara Rush. Watched live on GRIT.
I saw this for the first time last fall and recorded it and watched it live again this week.
The plot: A masked outlaw, known as 'The Sidewinder' and his band of renegades, have been...
According to the book,'Outrageous Conduct', pgs.58-59. Rod Serling sold his TV TWILIGHT ZONE rights to CBS. Serling retained publication rights, "Twilight Zone Magazine", books, and movie rights.
Serling's former agent, Ted Ashley, was chairman of the board at Warners. Ashley bought the movie...
14) SUGARFOOT-1951, Warner Brothers, Randolph Scott, Adele Jergens. Watched an old YouTube download of a UK TV showing.
Randolph Scott seeks his fortune out west.
Good Randolph Scott western. What makes it unusual is the way all the characters speak. They all talk in a very formal manner...
13) HELLFIRE-1949, Republic Trucolor, Wild Bill Elliott, Marie Windsor, Forest Tucker, H.B. Warner. Watched a GRIT OTA broadcast of the restored version.
Offbeat story of a reformed gambler trying to build a church. Even though the story has a religious bent, it's still full of the hard edged...
Thanks, for the details Mark. Sounds great.
I think the vocals on the end song start around episode 9 or so.( (At least it did on the bootleg.) One of the singers on the vocals sounds like Willie Nelson, to me. Was he around back then? Maybe someone with the same accent.)
"Dale, Pat, look at all those Randolph Scott and Joan Weldon pictures!"
Randolph Scott and Stardust.
Roy Rogers on Pal.
Trigger,Jr., Roy, and ?.
Roy and Trigger.
Well the TV versions sometimes change the stories, somewhat.
I like the ending of the BRONCO version of RIDING SHOTGUN.
And the CHEYENNE version of THE CHARGE AT FEATHER RIVER makes a point about the rights the families of Indian captives have to get them back. That doesn't come up in the...
Meanwhile......Time to revisit another Merv Griffin western. Merv had a bigger part in this one.
11) The BOY FROM OKLAHOMA-1954, Warner Bros., Technicolor, Will Rogers Jr., Nancy Olsen.WAC-DVDr.
Why I bought this: THE BOY FROM OKLAHOMA fits into my interest in Warner movie plots that are...
