SIX-GUN LAW Volume 2 : The Westerns of Rory Calhoun, Rod Cameron, Sterling Hayden and Richard Widmark
Bok av Barry Atkinson
Like Scott, Murphy, McCrea and Montgomery, the subjects of
volume one, the four actors showcased in this second volume, Rory
Calhoun, Rod Cameron, Sterling Hayden and Richard Widmark,
were all perfectly capable of playing their tough roles with ease because
of their hard, uncompromising upbringing (especially true
in Calhoun?s case). ey were also naturals in the saddle, born to
ride, even Hayden, their combined output in the eld an enduring
reminder of how, many, many years ago, the Western movie reigned
supreme over all others. So let?s hit four divergent trails out West
with four contrasting meaner-than-hell hombres and see how they
coped, in true Western tradition, with bad guys (when they weren?t
being bad guys themselves), Indians on the warpath, sexy saloon
dames, trigger-happy gunmen, cavalry detachments, double-crossing
partners, devious land-grabbers, crooked logging-grabbers, corrupt
lawmen, ladies (and tomboys) in peril, dishonest town o cials,
the construction of railroads on schedule across hostile terrain, the
felling of timber and, in two instances, the legendary battle of the
Alamo, all lmed in and around America?s breathtaking untamed,
rocky native scenery. You won?t be bored for a single second!
