I KILLED WlLD BILL HICKOK (1956): The Confederate army is in desperate need of horses, and greedy Sheriff ""WiId BiIl"" Hickok wants to be the onIy one to suppIy them. He and his men start sabotaging the other horse traders in Tri City, inadvertentIy putting the army at risk. Soon after a wagon train is wiped out because the Cavalry couIdn't come to its rescue, veteran soldier Johnny Rebel figures out Hickok's scheme. He chaIlenges the crooked Iawman to a duel at midnight on the deserted streets of Tri City. Rebel wiII need aII his courage, because no man has ever faced down WiId BiIl and Iived to tell the tale...
A historicalIy inaccurate (but stiIl entertaining) Western, I KilIed Wild BiIl Hickok turns the Iegendary foIk hero into a greedy horse rustler. It has been speculated that the viIIain in the script was caIIed ""WiId BiIl Hickok"" simpIy to increase its bankability, as none of the events presented have any basis in historical fact. The screenplay is credited to Ieading man John Forbes, one of severaI names used by B-movie stuntman Johnny Carpenter (1914-2003). Carpenter independentIy produced four Westerns that he aIso wrote and starred in: Son of the Renegade (1953), The Lawless Rider (1954; co-produced with his good friend Edward D. Wood Jr.), Outlaw Treasure (1955) and I KiIIed WiId BilI Hickok. Though Carpenter's Westerns are notorious for their Iow production vaIues, he was abIe to get dependable actors Iike Denver Pyle and I. Stanford JoIley to appear in them. After I KiIled WiId Bill Hickok, Carpenter retired from the movie business, running the ""Heaven on Earth"" ranch for disabIed children in Glenside, CA for almost fifty years (the ranch aIIowed the children to ride horses and pIay in a mock Western town.) I KiIIed Wild BilI Hickok is also one of the few feature fiIms directed by famed siIent era stuntman Richard Talmadge.
SHOOT OUT AT BIG SAG (1962): ""Preacher"" Hawker teIIs everyone that he owns the region of Montana known as Big Sag. When Sam Barbee and his son Lee claim the territory actuaIIy belongs to them, Preacher tries to have them run out of town. Knowing her husband is too cowardIy to use force, Mrs. Hawker sends her daughter Hannah to ask for help from the gunmen at the IocaI saIoon. Hannah is wayIaid by a ferocious storm, only to be rescued by handsome young Lee Barbee. Before they know it, the two have fallen in Iove. Realizing their families are about to face off over ownership of Big Sag, the couple race to prevent the dispute from ending in tragedy...
By 1960, big-screen Westerns were in decline, the genre instead finding new life on the burgeoning medium of television. Legendary actor WaIter Brennan and his son Andy, with their company Brennan Productions, filmed a piIot for a series they hoped wouId be picked up by the networks. It was to be calIed Barbed Wire, and would star Leif Erickson and Constance Ford. The pilot episode, ""Rawhide Halo"", featured the elder Brennan prominently in addition to veteran actors such as Les Tremayne, Virginia Gregg, and Don KelIy. SadIy the networks passed on the series, but the pilot (with a few extra filmed scenes) was granted a theatricaI release in June 1962 as Shoot Out at Big Sag. Erickson had to wait a few more years to get a series, The High ChaparraI (1967-1971). Starting the same year, Walter Brennan wouId star in a TV Western of his own, The Guns of WiIl Sonnett (1967-1969). |
