The other night I watched Comanche Station , the last of the Boetticher/Scott movies and one of the best even though (or perhaps because) it recycles a key scene from their first movie together, Seven Men From Now. The scene where Claude Akins tells an insinuating story about Scott and The Married Woman is nowhere near as good as the same scene with Lee Marvin in Seven Men , but somehow the very act...
For your Friday viewing pleasure, Turner Classic Movies has programmed a terrific double bill of classic Westerns starring Randolph Scott and directed by Budd Boetticher : The Tall T (8 pm EST) and Ride Lonesome (9:30 pm). In Tall T (1957), ramrod-turned-rancher Pat Brennan (Scott) and copper mine heiress Doretta Mims ( Maureen O'Sullivan ) are held captive by a sly stagecoach bandit ( Richard Boone...
The format may be on its way out, or at least about to change radically, but this year found more than a few reasons to stay excited about those shiny discs.
The Tall T is a crisp, economically made and structured Western, director Budd Boetticher's second collaboration with star Randolph Scott. It's a taut thriller for much of its short length, but Boetticher builds up to it slowly. The rambling, laidback introduction establishes Scott's Pat as a real good old boy with an easy smile and a gentle temperament, a former ranch hand who's only recently struck...

Quickly and cheaply shot on location, these films are locked into the dusty landscapes of the American west,...

...myself included. My own take on some of the reasons why is over at The Auteurs'. Enjoy, I hope. The above image is from the director's sublime Ride Lonesome, part of the essential collection just released on DVD by Sony.
The Films of Budd Boetticher” (Sony)--The Westerns that Boetticher--a hard-nosed man raised on horseback--made for Columbia starring Randolph Scott in the late nineteen-fifties are a stark corrective to triumphalist romanticism. The gaunt, blank-faced Scott takes care of business in the face of constant cruelty . . .
Two of our regular reviewers were both so excited by the release of the Boetticher set that we're taking the unusual course of having them both give their own takes on it. This week, we bring you Jeffrey Anderson's....
DVD Reviews: Budd Boetticher's life story is one of Hollywood's more unusual. A privileged Midwestern rich kid who found himself a bullfighter in Mexico and then, serendipitously, a film director more admired than famous, Boetticher has become something of a cult auteur thanks to his Westerns, which have risen in stature over the years.
This box set features five of the most influential Westerns ever, from Budd Boetticher, a director you probably never heard of. The Budd Boetticher Box Set ($55) represents a fair... Visit Uncrate for the full post.
