Randolph Scott makes the best short westerns. Almost none of them are 90 minutes, loads are 78-80 minutes…
You can see the money was used sparingly but I will always love practical effects and every Western uses them. It’s a box that has to be ticked if you are making one.
I can’t accuse most Westerns of feeling too natural but a few of the big players always know their role. John Wayne, Randolph Scott and Henry Fonda can carry the atmosphere that the film needs, guys like Lee Marvin, Burt Lancaster and Van Heflin all just play essential character roles every time. Strother Martin is always a name you want to see involved if there’s moral ambiguity. Warren Oats too, both have marvellous western faces.

Men with a purpose.

I love Westerns.
