JubalGenre: Westerns Release Date: 05/14/2013 Rating Production Year: 1956 Run Time: 101 mins Released By: Criterion Collection Cast: Glenn Ford, Ernest Borgnine, Rod Steiger, Valerie French, Felicia Farr Jubal Troop (Glenn Ford) is an honest, well-intentioned cowhand who has come into town looking for work. When he is injured in a riding accident, rancher Shep Horgan (Ernest Borgnine) offers him a job tending horses, but before long trouble is brewing and Morgan's coquettish wife, Mae (Valerie French) falls for Jubal. The dubious cowhand Pinky (Rod Steiger) won't stand for Jubal stealing Mae's attention away from him. He slyly convinces Shep that the well-behaved Jubal is sleeping with Mae and sends the whole Horgan ranch into an uproar. In spite of its heavy storyline, JUBAL is actually quite a funny film. The pairing of Glenn and Borgnine makes for several amusing scenes. The plot gradually morphs from psychodrama to black comedy to comedy (similar to films like THE SWIMMER and WILD THINGS) evoking mirth and laughter, fear and loathing. Director Delmer Daves welds all of the unsuspecting chaos together, making JUBAL a non-traditional but very memorable Western. … more less -

McLintock!Genre: Westerns Release Date: 03/26/2013 Rating NR Production Year: 1963 Run Time: 127 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Edgar Buchanan John Wayne shows off his funny side in this 1963 western, a comedy inspired by THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Starring as wealthy cattle baron G.W. McLintock, Wayne shows a real sense of comic timing in several scenes filled with slapstick humor. After his wife (Maureen O'Hara) and daughter leave him for the East, McLintock attempts to win them back. The dynamics between O'Hara and Wayne are the strong suit of this film, the actors having worked together previously on THE QUIET MAN. As this is by no means a revisionist western, McLintock's chauvinistic attempts to "tame" his wife fit within the problematic ideology of the larger western genre. The ultimate example of this comes at the end of the film when McLintock settles his marital dispute by publicly "spanking" his wife in what is now a notorious cinematic moment. … more less -

Night Riders, TheGenre: Westerns Release Date: 10/02/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1939 Run Time: 56 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: John Wayne, Max Terhune, Doreen McKay, Ruth Rogers This "Three Mesquiteers" western is based upon the exploits of one James Addison Reavis, a clever 19th century con artist who through a series of elaborate land swindlers tried to declare himself owner of the state of Arizona (Reavis' checkered career was later the basis for Samuel Fuller's THE BARON OF ARIZONA, starring Vincent Price). George Douglas plays the Reavis character, here named Talbot. Establishing himself as dictator of an unnamed western territory, Talbot taxes the citizens beyond endurance. Enter the Three Mesquiteers-Stony Brooke (John Wayne), Tucson Smith (Ray Corrigan) and Lullaby Joslin (Max Terhune) - who don capes and masks to do battle with Talbot's minions under cover of darkness. Part of the plot hinges on the fact that only President Garfield knows that the Mesquiteer's "crimes" are being committed on behalf of Liberty and Justice For All - and when Garfield is assassinated, our heroes are up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle. … more less -
Three Mesquiteers, The - Overland Stage RaidersGenre: Westerns Release Date: 10/02/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1938 Run Time: 55 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: Bob Livingston, Ray Corrigan, Max Terhune, Louise Brooks, Three Mesquiteers Stony leads the Mesquiteers as they buy an airplane to transport precious gold.

Red River RangeGenre: Westerns Release Date: 10/02/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1938 Run Time: 56 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: John Wayne, Ray "Crash" Corrigan, Max Terhune, Lorna Gray, Polly Moran The villains in the "Three Mesquiteers" entry RED RIVER RANGE are bunch of progressive cattle thieves. This being 1939, the bad guys round up their stolen goods and herd them into streamlined trucks. It's a plot device that had previously used in Republic's Gene Autry series, but it still had plenty of mileage here. Riding to the rescue are the Mesquiteers, who on this occasion consist of John Wayne (Stony Brooke), Ray Corrigan (Tucson Smith) and Max Terhune (Lullaby Joslin). Lorna Gray, aka Adrian Booth, is the heroine, while raucuous comedy relief is provided by old-timer Polly Moran. … more less -
Three Texas SteersGenre: Westerns Release Date: 10/02/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1939 Run Time: 56 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: John Wayne, Ray "Crash" Corrigan, Max Terhune, Carole Landis, Ralph Graves Forever switching its time-frame from past to present, Republic's "Three Mesquiteers" series returned to a contemporary milieu for THREE TEXAS STEERS. The story revolves around a bankrupt circus, and the efforts made by Stony (John Wayne), Tucson (Ray Corrigan) and Lullaby (Max Terhune) to save the show from going under. Carole Landis, a starlet on the verge of bigger things, plays circus owner Nancy, whose efforts to stay afloat are undermined by the covert machinations of her "faithful"manager Ward (Ralph Graves). The film's outcome hinges on a big race, with the circus' dancing horse as a contestant; this scene includes an unexpected moment of high comedy, at once relieving and compounding the tension! THREE TEXAS STEERS represented Terhune's "adios" to the Mesquiteers; his replacement in WYOMING OUTLAW was Raymond Hatton. … more less -
Rio GrandeGenre: Westerns Release Date: 08/07/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1950 Run Time: 105 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara, Claude Jarman, Ben Johnson, Chill Wills In RIO GRANDE, the last part of John Ford's classic Cavalry Trilogy, John Wayne stars as Kirby York, a colonel at an army outpost along the U.S.-Mexico border where the Apache are always a problem. When his son, Jeff (Claude Jarman Jr.), whom he hasn't seen in more than a decade, arrives at the fort after flunking out of West Point, Yorke treats him coldly, warning the young man not to expect preferential treatment, which Jeff assures him he doesn't want. Yorke's ex-wife, Kathleen (Maureen O'Hara), appears, intending to persuade Jeff to leave the army. Yorke refuses to do the necessary paperwork to release his son, a decision seconded by Jeff, who has begun to adapt to army life--and before Kathleen can regroup for another attempt, the fort is attacked by the Apache. The making of RIO GRANDE was mandated by producer Herbert Yates, who would agree to finance the director's THE QUIET MAN only if Ford first made a Western, as insurance, with that film's proposed leading actors. Ford continues the series' realistic depiction of the rigors of life on a cavalry post in the late-19th-century Southwest, and members of the director's stock company--most notably Victor McLaglen, Harry Carey Jr., and Ben Johnson--acquit themselves admirably. … more less -

High NoonGenre: Westerns Release Date: 07/17/2012 Rating NR Production Year: 1952 Run Time: 85 mins Released By: Olive Films Cast: Gary Cooper, Grace Kelly, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Bridges, Katy Jurado Gary Cooper is Hollywood's perfect hero, the very embodiment of integrity and grace in this greatest of Westerns. As a newly married town marshal, he must balance an innate sense of justice and duty with loyalty to his beautiful new--and pacifist--bride when he is left by an ungrateful town to face a gang of deadly outlaws alone. As we watch spellbound, film time is real time as the showdown grows ever closer. HIGH NOON is a masterpiece that is frequently interpreted as a parable about artists left to "stand alone" and face persecution during the HUAC Hollywood blacklisting. However, Howard Hawks allegedly devised RIO BRAVO as an answer to the film's "wimpiness," and John Wayne once declared HIGH NOON as un-American--he was apparently offended by the ending of the film, which shows Sheriff Kane removing his badge and tossing it in the dirt. … more less
