Description:

When stubborn farmer, Dan Evans (Ven Heflin), attempts to bring wanted criminal, Ben Wade (Glenn Ford) to the authorities in Yuma and collect the reward, he's in for quite a challenge. Desperate, the captive criminal offers the poor farmer $10,000 to set him free. While waiting for the train, the two men engage in a brutal battle of wills and as Evans eludes Wade's gang of miscreant thugs, he must fight his own moral battle and catch the 3:10 to Yuma.

Director Delmer Daves teams up with pulp writer Elmore Leonard (who would go on to script GET SHORTY and JACKIE BROWN) to deliver this sharp and biting western classic.

The dashing, intense actor Victor Mature (so compelling in the famed film noir KISS OF DEATH) dons a cowboy hat and an outlaw persona in this fine Western flick. Mature plays Ben Lassiter, a former officer in the Confederate Army of the Civil War. As he travels westward with his adorable daughter, Lassiter comes upon two distraught women who have just survived a violent assault by Native Americans. As he attempts to guide them safely to their ultimate destinations, more trouble ensues, and the run-ins with Indian tribes build to a chaotic massacre.

Description:

Description:

RED RIVER, Howard Hawks's masterpiece, is one of the greatest Westerns ever filmed, a saga of obsession and rivalry between a man and his adoptive son amid an epic struggle for survival in the Old West. Tom Dunson (John Wayne) journeys west to Texas to build a cattle empire and adopts Matthew Garth, a young boy orphaned by an Indian raid. Years later, Matthew (Montgomery Clift) returns from the Civil War and joins Dunson on a massive cattle drive north undertaken to avoid financial ruin. Stampedes and Indian attacks build tension, but it is Dunson's ironfisted leadership that causes the most problems, finally bringing the action to a boiling point that pits father against son. This bold canvas of the American frontier features stirring performances, including Clift in his first film and Wayne in one of his finest and most complex roles, stunning photography shot on location in Arizona, and a perfect balance of action, drama, romance, and comedy from one of Hollywood's greatest directors.

Description:

A complex plot and a noirish feel characterize this exciting Western, which takes place in part during a flashback from contemporary 1948. The tale centers on the legendary Lost Dutchman mine, worth $20 million and notorious for its apparent curse upon all those who attempt to claim it. The grandson of Jacob "Dutch" Waltz, who discovered it, sets out to relocate the mine, and the story travels back in time to follow Dutch (Glenn Ford, SUPERMAN) in his initial explorations. A wealthy prospector who has acquired his money by dubious means shows up in town with 297 pounds of gold ore to trade for cash. He cases a furor and attracts the attention of one Julia Thomas (Ida Lupino, ROAD HOUSE), a bakery owner who immediately undertakes the foreigner's seduction. Dutch and Julia court one another, and the gruff Dutch's loneliness and vulnerability come to the fore in some surprising, touching, and well-acted, scenes; this leads up to an explosive denouement when Dutch learns of Julia's duplicity and true motivations.

Description:

Doc Holliday (Walter Huston) meets the notorious Billy the Kid (Jack Beutel), who has stolen his horse. Doc's old friend Pat Garrett, now a sheriff, wants to arrest the Kid for murder, but Doc helps his young friend flee to a hideout, where Billy meets Rio (Jane Russell), a beautiful young woman who soon finds herself falling in love with him. As Doc and Billy try to evade the law, they run into a series of adventures involving Indians and gunfights, culminating in a fierce showdown. Under the control of director/ producer Howard Hughes, THE OUTLAW became both a classic Western and a tribute to the charms of its leading lady, 19-year-old Jane Russell, whose cleavage was featured prominently in the film's publicity. As a result, THE OUTLAW became one of the most controversial films of the 1940s, leading to a protracted battle with censors that only added to the film's allure. The story of Pat Garrett, Doc Holliday, and Billy the Kid sharply veers from historical reality but the result is a fun and engaging classic that stands out from other Westerns of the era.

This popular Western-oriented television show first aired in 1958, and starred the beefy Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain. The dexterous cowboy took on the criminal detritus of the Old West with his trusty rifle (hence the name of the show), picking off villains with a gun designed for speed and precision. But McCain had another, overriding concern, namely the upbringing of his young son, which he carries out under adverse circumstances. This release offers a taster of the show, with three episodes included.
