 | The Rounders [Read More ...]
Description: Burt Kennedy wrote several of the finest Westerns ever for director Budd Boetticher in the late '50s--marvels of austere, subtle storytelling. Yet on his own, writer-director Kennedy tended to very broad comedy-Westerns. The Rounders, based on a novel by Max Evans, falls somew... |
 | The Sacketts [Read More ...]
Description: Louis L'Amour's easy voice with its gentle rhythm sets the tone and pace of the film in a spoken introduction to this loping, rambling three-hour-plus TV-movie adaptation of his novels The Daybreakers and Sackett. Sam Elliot stars as the elder Sackett, a nomad hunting and trappin... |
 | Santee [Read More ...]
Review: Not One of Ford's Best:Santee was Glenn Ford's last starring role in a major motion picture Western, and it is better to remember after watching it that he will always be known as one of the all-time great Western stars.
In Santee, Ford plays a hardbitten bounty hunter who kills... |
 | Jubal [Read More ...]
Description: Despite incorporating elements of Shakespeare's Othello, Delmer Daves's CinemaScope Jubal is the first and least of three Westerns the director made with star Glenn Ford. Although not up to the measure of 3:10 to Yuma and the boldly original (and sadly neglected) Cowboy, it's... |
 | Fastest Gun Alive [Read More ...]
Review: A Real Ford Gem:Glenn Ford played everything from a school teacher, a preacher, to an Aircraft carrier commander. But the western is where he made his name as far a public popularity! "The Fastest Gun Alive" rates up there with "Heaven With A Gun" and "The Last Challenge." All th... |
 | 3:10 to Yuma [Read More ...]
Description: Struggling rancher and family man Van Heflin sneaks captured outlaw Glenn Ford out from under the eyes of his gang and nervously awaits the prison train in this tight, taut Western in the High Noon tradition. Adapted from an Elmore Leonard story, this tense Western thriller is bo... |
 | Cowboy [Read More ...]
Description: This sturdy Delmer Daves picture--his third with Glenn Ford, following Jubal and 3:10 to Yuma--is one of the most offbeat Westerns ever. And it must be the most writerly, with Frank Harris's memoirs as the source and a picaresque screenplay by Edmund H. North and Dalton Trumbo (a... |
 | The Desperadoes [Read More ...]
Review: Third billed Glenn Ford gets the build-up treatment but Edgar Buchanan steals the show:This oater is standard issue with a clever setup. It's 1863 in the small ranching community of Red Valley, Utah. Robbers bust into the Clanton Bank but find no money. They kill a couple of town... |

TheAmericano:This is a great movie with some great stars and a great western star Glenn Ford. Please some release this movie on DVD. |

Review: A Real Ford Gem:Glenn Ford played everything from a school teacher, a preacher, to an Aircraft carrier commander. But the western is where he made his name as far a public popularity! "The Fastest Gun Alive" rates up there with "Heaven With A Gun" and "The Last Challenge." All th... |
 | Man From Colorado [Read More ...]
Review: Glenn Ford wound up tight:The late Glenn Ford who passed away last year, was a very under-rated actor who never got his due as his son Peter will profess. This psychological Western shows Ford at his best in one of his few villainous roles (the other being"3:10 to Yuma"). His b... |
 | Violent Men [Read More ...]
Review: The Violent Men:I was disappointed. I hadn't seen the movie in 35 years and I remembered it better than it was. I was really into westerns as a child. Don't get me wrong it's a great movie. Really a great movie I wanted so much for it to be as great as I remembered but it wasn't.... |

 | Texas [Read More ...]
Review: Texas:Texas was directed by George Marshall & starred William Holden & Glenn Ford. It was only Holden's ninth movie & Ford's eleventh movie & they don't look old enough to have already made that many appearances. Texas is a lighthearted movie which George Marshall was pretty good... |

 | Cimarron (Widescreen Edition) [Read More ...]
Description: The 1960 remake of Cimarron manages a slight improvement on the worst Best Picture (1931) in Academy Award history. Not that Edna Ferber's novel of pioneer Oklahoma was ever a movie natural. There's a plethora of themes--several species of prejudice, capitalism vs. charity, sons ... |
 | Man From the Alamo [Read More ...]
Review: Groan:Deserving of its obscurity, "The Man From the Alamo" (1953) is probably Director Budd Boetticher's weakest Western and Glenn Ford's weakest film. While not actually horrible it is not something to seek out for exciting entertainment or for a showcase of the talent of those ... |
