Mann's Most Underrated Western!

+ Cimmaron
+ A Classic Western

Martin Scorcese has called Anthony Mann Hollywood's most underrated director. He's right of course. Mann is a God. It's a shame some of his Westerns have never been released on DVD or that some of his widescreen Westerns such as The Far Country and Bend in the River have only been relesed on pan ...

Tribute to a Bad Man
James Cagney, Don Dubbins

MGM (Warner), 1994

Under - rated Western drama !

Man in the Shadow
Jeff Chandler, Orson Welles

Universal Studios, 1998

Chandler and Welles deliver once again

Good performances highlight this film. Jeff Chandler once again gives an excellent portrayal as the stoic, strong silent type as he upholds the law in this modern day western. Orson Welles turns in another convincing performance as the powerful rancher, a similar patriarchal role that he perfected ...
  
  











  



  
Texas Guns
Willie Nelson, Richard Widmark

Lions Gate/Trimark Home Ent., 1990

Shaun's still Got It

I do love a good western, and this was a pretty good western. Although Willie Nelson is not as good an actor as he is a singer, Shaun Cassidy is HOT HOT HOT in this movie. The first part of the movie is pretty amusing with quite a few old favorite actors, quite a few of whom I believe have since ...

Bend Of The River
James Stewart, Arthur Kennedy

Universal Studios, 2003

One of the better Westerns of Jimmy...

+ clairty
+ Best of enemies

Another classic Western offering starring Jimmy Stewart. There is not much to be said about this DVD transfer, just that as MGM/UA, even Universal Studios don't do too much with their classics, except transferring their Films in digital format. One must also add, that so far, since the copies ...
