Randolph scott filmography 7 men from nowhere

I have a story to tell about this one.

Yet the three men’s talents blended uncannily, producing the best movie by far ever to sport the Batjac label. She hadn't worked in five years due to her struggles with alcoholism. He will be thrown together with several other characters, including Lee Marvin as an affable but deadly rascal with whom he shares some history.

Although Stride suspects that they might be a part of the gang, Masters soon lets it be known that he too is after the $20,000 stolen in the robbery. She made just two more films and some television appearances before dying in 1961 at the age of 36 from liver damage due to her years of alcohol abuse. Scott plays former sheriff Ben Stride who wasn’t ‘touchy feely’ enough to get reelected and happens upon a couple of greenhorns from the East ‘wimpy’ John and his ‘fetching’ wife Annie Greer (Walter Reed and Gail Russell) heading West to California by covered wagon.

We know, from a memorable first scene, that Scott is hunting down seven men who did something terrible; we soon gather that he’s also seeking to assuage a nameless guilt of his own. Ironically—and Boetticher always relished irony—the Ranown pictures, which were released through Columbia, would remain more or less constantly available over the years, on TV and through film societies, while the movie whose success inspired them was nowhere to be seen for more than 20 years following John Wayne’s death in 1979, which threw the Batjac library into limbo.

It saw the light of day again in 2000, when a UCLA restoration was showcased at the New York Film Festival to the ecstatic reception of press and audiences.

What Boetticher said was "Yes, that's a much better way to do a sex scene, now isn't it?". When we meet John Greer (Walter Reed) and his wife Annie (Gail Russell), they are virtually stuck in the mud. It would be nice to report that 1950s audiences embraced the movie as a singular event in American cinema history, but in fact it took the French—notably the influential critic André Bazin—to recognize its distinction and praise it for working narrative miracles without ever breaking a sweat or breaking faith with the unassuming requirements of its genre.

Make no mistake, Scott and Boetticher knew they’d hit on a good thing.

While on their trail he encounters a greenhorn couple and winds up taking them along. Along with the team of Anthony Mann and James Stewart, they pretty much owned the western in the 1950s. Out in the country a showdown ensues and..........

This film established the types of characters that would appear in the subsequent six films, the solitary granite jawed hero with a past and the likable but lethal villain.

The plot is about a former sheriff (Randolph Scott) who is tracking seven men who killed his wife in a gold robbery. By the light of a single lantern, as the rain pours down outside, Marvin begins to make love to Russell without laying a hand on her–simply talking about another woman he once knew, whose hair and eyes “were nothing like yours, Mrs. Greer.” Scott and the husband have to sit and take it.

Fine performances from everyone. After a falling out Masters and Clete ride ahead to town and meet the remaining members of the gang headed by Bodeen (John Larch).
