Alpha 176 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Alan Ladd in, 'Shane', often the film and story-line were copied by Clint Eastwood as an actor, director and producer in his films. Never bettered. 'Paul Newman in, 'Hombre' with (Michael Desilver)?, as the Mexican bandit who stole a few scenes. Burle Ives in, 'The Big Country', out-shone the male starring roles of Gregory Peck and Charlton Heston. Yul Brynner in, 'The Magnificent Seven', with Steve McQueen, one of the greatest films that appears to have faded into obscurity. John Wayne in, 'The Searchers', brilliant photography and storyline though some scenes did appeared a little silly and out of context but provided some light-heartedness. Still watchable after all the revisits. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 My grandfather often said, "The ten o'clock horses will come and get you!" if I played up at bedtime and wanted to stay up longer. I had visions of a terrifying herd of jet black horses racing through the darkness to whisk me away. Not until years later did I learn what they actually were and realised that my grandfather would have heard them when he was a child. Perhaps he, too, was threatened with them if he refused to go to bed when asked. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,270 Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Come on, own up, all those that can't listen to the William Tell overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger. Jay Silverheels who played Tonto in the TV series was a Mohawk from an Indian reserve in Ontario Canada. Hence the Lone Ranger telling Him to "Get to Toronto, pronto Tonto" After years of loyal service in an unaired episode The Lone Ranger shot Tonto with a silver bullet, apparently he found out that Kemosabe meant t**t in Mohawk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,134 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 "Paint Your Wagon", another brilliant film. Nuff sed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Another excellent film I saw on Y.T, was "Buffalo Girls", about the exploits of Martha Jane Canary, (Calamity Jane).) Add another, "Lonesome Dove", with two of my favourite actors, Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. (Shown on tv in episodes). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 When we lived in N. Arizona we saw cowboys all the time. Ranches in the surrounding area had working cowboys on them. They would come into town, horse trailer in tow, complete with 2 or 3 saddled-up horses. The men would be dressed exactly how you see them in Westerns, complete with chaps and spurs. I did wonder if the horses in back were like having a spare wheel. If you broke down you rode your horse home!. Also during summer months there is a nightly shoot out in the middle of town. A bunch of retirees put on a show, dressed as cowboys. The tourists love it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
