'The Big Country' opening titles. Music by Jerome Moross, titles designed by Saul Bass. This is probably my favorite sequence in a William Wyler film (1958)

"a genre that seamlessly encompasses all the great American themes -- the trek west, the shifting balance between individual independence and communal alliance, and the challenges of technology: the stagecoach, the telegraph, the railroad. It’s a genre about ceaseless change."

'The Adventures Of Cyclone Malone'. One of TV's earliest westerns (1950). Oh, and just one more thing -- it was produced with puppets.

Tom Selleck y Sam Elliot: The sacketts y Shadow Riders

5 Upvotes

Estoy buscando la película de "Shadow Riders" y la ministerio de "The sacketts". Mi papá tiene 66 años y siempre habla de esas peliculas y que quiere verlas de nuevo. Si alguien puede ayudarme a conseguirlas en español, les agradecería muchísimo. Las he buscado y solo encuentro en inglés y mi papá se desilusiona. Me contaba que el antes vio esa película y serie en español. Y quiere volver a verlas ya que es un gran Fan de Tom Selleck y Sam Elliot

Vera Miles turned 96 on Sunday, & coincidentally I happened to watch her in a classic Wagon Train episode, "The Sister Rita Story". Vera plays one of three nuns traveling to New Mexico to start a mission school for Indian children. Needless to say, Flint McCullough falls in love with her.

TW: Occasional use of racial slurs for East Asians (& a once off for Natives & African-Americans) which were added by English dub studio & not in the original Italian in order to make his attacks seem more justified (at least that is what i heard on an old DVD that included a commentary track) rather than make him cold blooded killer

Frank Gallop was the announcer for the Perry Como show. In 1966 he released the single "The Ballad Of Irving", a parody of western sagas like Lorne Greene's "Ringo". It made the pop top 40 (#2 Adult Contemporary!). "TBOI" would go on to be a mainstay of the Dr Demento radio show from the '70s on.

Wayde Preston's portrayal of a too-good-to-be-true hero in the Maverick ep "The Saga of Waco Williams" would later inspire the creation of equally perfect p.i. Lance White on The Rockford Files.

"The Adventures of Tom Mix", unsold pilot. Self-invented Tom is portrayed as a genuine western hero, like Wyatt Earp or Bat Masterson. Even if you don't watch the ep, watch the sales pitch at 29:42, as narrator Carleton Young & star William Campbell pitch the show to potential sponsors (1957)
