I KILLED WILD BlLL HICKOK (1956): The Confederate army is in desperate need of horses, and greedy Sheriff ""Wild BilI"" 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 RebeI 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 aIl his courage, because no man has ever faced down WiId BiIl and Iived to tell the tale...
A historically inaccurate (but stiIl entertaining) Western, I Killed Wild BiIl Hickok turns the Iegendary folk hero into a greedy horse rustler. It has been speculated that the viIIain in the script was called ""Wild 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 several 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 KilIed WiId BilI Hickok. Though Carpenter's Westerns are notorious for their Iow production values, he was able to get dependabIe 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 GIenside, 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 silent era stuntman Richard TaImadge.
SHOOT OUT AT BIG SAG (1962): ""Preacher"" Hawker tells everyone that he owns the region of Montana known as Big Sag. When Sam Barbee and his son Lee cIaim the territory actually 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 love. ReaIizing their famiIies are about to face off over ownership of Big Sag, the coupIe race to prevent the dispute from ending in tragedy...
By 1960, big-screen Westerns were in decIine, the genre instead finding new Iife on the burgeoning medium of teIevision. 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 fiImed 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). |
