across the wide missouri (wellman 1951) furtrapping adventure w/clark gable, adolph menjou, ricardo montalban (as an indian)
watched for the rocky mountain views, the film is a mess and wellman disowned it but it's very pretty
the voiceover added to cover the studio's hatchet job doesn't work at all
that's about it for my summer of westerns
i'm already figuring how i can make a short trip this fall to see the aspens ..

The Magnificent Seven 1960 Directed by John Sturges - I'm glad Hollywood realized that Horst Buchholz isn't it.
Heller in Pink Tights 1960 Directed by George Cukor - Snooze. Is there a famous classic actor with a more mediocre filmography than Sophia Loren?
Bend of the River 1952 Directed by Anthony Mann - First time that a Mann-Stewart Western clicked for me.
The Outlaw 1943 Directed by Howard Hughes - Think this one's unfairly shunned and maligned. An enjoyable weird western. Lots of homoerotic flourishes, a goofy melodramatic score reminiscent of Tulio at times.

Union Pacific 1939 Directed by Cecil B. DeMille - Too overstuffed. Stanwyck was cute af in it though. She spoke with an accent now and then which I initially thought was her character being facetious but no she was actually playing an Irish character, with an accent that came and went...

I was pleasantly surprised by Buck and the Preacher (Sidney Poitier, 1972) that I watched last month. A very cool western featuring the great Harry Belafonte and Ruby Dee as well.
Some clear inspirations for Tarantino's Django Unchained.

never liked the hired hand
viggo's western the dead don't hurt (?) is very pretty. he's not only star, writer, director and producer but he also composed the music. it's not bad
