This small and not too well-known (no, not forgotten) western starring Glenn Ford and Arthur Kennedy was a nice surprise to me. I had seen it once on (I guess) French or German television, but I remembered only a few fragments, so it was more or less new to me. No classic, but very enjoyable.

I wonder what youâll think about it. For me, it was weaker than IB, but still very enjoyable - loads of references (I like the scene when Django practises shooting at a snowball which a little reminds me of Quanto costa morire).
I watch Cowboy (1958) with Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon.Very good I must say and Iâll re-watch it very soon.Impressive landscapes solid plot and Glennâs performance is larger than life as usual.Also Brian Donlevy and Richard Jaeckel were really good.
Tarantino has been described as âa headful of moviesâ (does that remind you of a film title?) - Spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation, comics: whatâs in his head, ends up in his movies. And this time, Quentinâs really unchained:

as i said on FB, i almost completely agree with your review (had to happen once)
profound insight indeed - i like also those blurps from tarantinoâs interviews
I saw A Pistol for Ringo and The Return of Ringo and today and was extremely impressed by them. The first one feels like an archtypical Spaghetti Western with humour that actually works and the latter is a true Greek tragedy that has highly powerful emotional impact.
After the hard labour on Django Unchained, I thought it was time for some easy-going romantic stuff. The film is good fun, but the production was a troublesome affair. Read all about it here:
Saved from being hanged as a horse thief by Frank Jesse, (Dan Duryea), Ben Lane (Audie) and Frank meet up with Kelly (Joan OâBrien) who pays them to take her to a little town to be with her husband. In reality, Kelly is setting Frank up and wants to kill him because he killed her husband in a shootout. Encounters with Indians makes Frank decide he doesnât want to go further.(SPOILERS) Eventually, it comes to a showdown between Ben and Frank and Frank is killed.
Phantomâs Review: Enjoyable, little âBâ movie. Beautifully filmed, good acting and plenty of action. The plot is predictable, but not bad. Murphey is fine as his usual heroic self and Duryea seems a little more calm in this role than he has in others,
An entertaining Saturday afternoon film.
Yep. Beautifully photographed, impressively produced, great inter-character dialogue⌠but itâs another one of those films that are misleadingly titled. Thatâs not as important now, but it wouldâve been in 1958. Action-fans were probably expecting quickdraw-sequences. Thatâs basically my only quibble with the film; an entertaining, relatively complex manhunt for a rich guyâs lost brother in Northern Mexico. Gilbert Roland and Jock Mahoney are superb. Thereâs even a nice pre-Bonanza/High Chaparral dynamic, with Lorne Greene as the land-baron father of Linda Cristal. Iâll go read your review nowâŚ
Robert Woods goes on an investigation style mission after a friend saved his life in prison. Was intrigued by the story from the start and nice the way it unfolds for a limited budget western. Thought William Berger was wasted at first, but as the film goes on he turns into quite the slime ball. Alot better than I have read about this one, and Woods is watchable as ever.
Quick and the Dead
-Sam Raimiâs weird but entertaining western about the fast draw contests. Cast is full of good actors, too bad Sharon Stone isnât one of them. Woody Strodeâs cameo is so brief that itâs easy to miss it completely.

Must be the first man on earth complaining about Sharon Stone in The Quick & the Dead.
âBreakheart Passâ, a Charles Bronson western - didnât like it at all, and I can sit through almost anything heâs in (which is not easy, especially with the 80âs films) because I always liked him. Cast is actually decent, but the film is flat and dullâŚI wouldnât bother with this unless youâre a Ben Johnson fan (heâs in it as well).
