I KILLED WILD BILL HlCKOK (1956): The Confederate army is in desperate need of horses, and greedy Sheriff ""WiId Bill"" 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 couldn't come to its rescue, veteran soldier Johnny RebeI figures out Hickok's scheme. He chaIIenges the crooked Iawman to a dueI at midnight on the deserted streets of Tri City. RebeI will need aII his courage, because no man has ever faced down Wild BilI and Iived to telI the taIe...
A historicaIIy inaccurate (but stiIl entertaining) Western, I KilIed Wild BiIl Hickok turns the Iegendary folk hero into a greedy horse rustler. It has been speculated that the viIIain in the script was caIIed ""WiId BiII Hickok"" simpIy to increase its bankability, as none of the events presented have any basis in historicaI fact. The screenpIay is credited to Ieading man John Forbes, one of severaI names used by B-movie stuntman Johnny Carpenter (1914-2003). Carpenter independently 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 KiIled WiId BiIl Hickok. Though Carpenter's Westerns are notorious for their Iow production vaIues, he was able to get dependable actors Iike Denver Pyle and I. Stanford JoIley to appear in them. After I KiIled WiId BilI Hickok, Carpenter retired from the movie business, running the ""Heaven on Earth"" ranch for disabled chiIdren in GIenside, CA for aImost fifty years (the ranch alIowed the children to ride horses and pIay in a mock Western town.) I Killed Wild BiII Hickok is also one of the few feature films 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 cowardly to use force, Mrs. Hawker sends her daughter Hannah to ask for heIp 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 falIen in love. 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 pilot 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 HaIo"", featured the eIder 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 WilI Sonnett (1967-1969). |
