Another side of John Wayne, his deep friendship with Chesty Puller;

Was it Jimmy Stewart who rode the same horse for something like 23 years?

Not sure about the horse but he said he wore the same hat in all his westerns.

Clint is a huge fan of jazz and is a pretty good pianist, if you watch Play Misty for Me that's Clint playing that's piano soundtrack

He even made a documentary about the piano; and his love of it

Yes , he directed Bird , the movie about Charlie Parker. Clint also wrote the theme for Unforgiven.

My Mom was always big on the ladies in westerns. One she particularly liked was Johnny Guitar with Joan Crawford. She also liked Calamity Jane and Annie Get Your Gun.

My Dad loved all westerns. One I will mention is Jubal with Glenn Ford. I don't think he been mentioned.

I think Peggy Lee sang the theme for Johnny Guitar.

I haven't seen "Wagon Train" mentioned. My sister and I loved it. Ward Bond, John McIntyre, the guy who played my sister's and my favorite, Charlie Wooster. Was Doug McClure on it, too?

I also loved "The Virginian," but I guess we'd have to call that an Eastern.

I liked Wagon Train when it first came out.And no I dont think McClure was on it. But I think it was originally supposed to be happening in 1869. Lots of veterans with the wrong equipment.

Doug McClure was Trampas in The Virginian. Robert Horton was in Wagon Train. Robert Fuller was too.

Yes , the wrong equipment thing again. Bonanza was supposed to be in the 1860s. I think you're right about Wagon Train.

Laredo.

The "guys" on The Virginian were supposed to be working cowboys from the Shiloh Ranch. I doubt they were paid that "dollar a day" to hang around towns and saloons.

 

[Pollaco]

Laredo.

That show was definitely shot in California. There are no mountains, hills, or canyons in South Texas.

Love the evolution of the relationship between the characters Joe Bass and Joseph Lee. I'm not a big time Western movie fan, but I do like this movie. Some great lines. I also like The Cheyenne Social Club for similar reasons -- the relationship and dialogue between the main characters is a hoot, and some brilliant lines.

"It's not something I like to talk about, but I was married once, and once is enough for any man. You can't smoke, chew, dip, drink, scratch in the parlor, or cuss...."

Enjoyed it to, but it had a 60ish feel to it.

Though it's hard to say when exactly the movie was supposed to be set time wise. But Bass and the Indians both recognized Lee as still a slave.

True. No reference to the War, either, making it possibly even earlier. I'm sure the weaponry was an anachronism, but it wasn't meant to be a documentary. At least I don't remember anyone having one of the 27 shot six-shooters seen in other movies.

I watched part of "City of Badmen" last night. Great cast and It certainly was entertaining but no history lesson.I think the scenario is 1897 but there is a character named Johnny Ringo (Richard Boone) in it. "The" Johnny Ringo had been dead 15 years already.

Do you remember when Lorne Green had a minor hit record with a song "Ringo"?

I remember it well. That line about "looking down the bore of a deadly 44" caught my attention. Did they really think everyone in the Old West carried a Colt .45?

Finished The Shadow Riders. Real good stuff! Sam Eliot is still the manliest dude alive.

Another western filmed in California, that is definitely not South Texas terrain.

Only Western with a beach in it.

Has anyone here seen that Spaghetti Western The Great Silence? I always hear its the greatest Western ever made (per Amazon and YT).
