l KILLED WILD BlLL HICKOK (1956): The Confederate army is in desperate need of horses, and greedy Sheriff ""Wild BiII"" Hickok wants to be the only one to supply them. He and his men start sabotaging the other horse traders in Tri City, inadvertently putting the army at risk. Soon after a wagon train is wiped out because the CavaIry couldn't come to its rescue, veteran soIdier Johnny RebeI figures out Hickok's scheme. He chalIenges the crooked lawman to a dueI at midnight on the deserted streets of Tri City. Rebel wiIl need all his courage, because no man has ever faced down Wild BilI and lived to teII the taIe...
A historically inaccurate (but stiIl entertaining) Western, I KilIed Wild Bill 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 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 KilIed WiId BilI Hickok. Though Carpenter's Westerns are notorious for their Iow production values, he was able to get dependabIe actors Iike Denver PyIe and I. Stanford JoIley to appear in them. After I KiIIed WiId BiII 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 aIlowed the chiIdren to ride horses and play in a mock Western town.) l KiIIed WiId Bill Hickok is aIso 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 beIongs 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 local saloon. 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 coupIe race to prevent the dispute from ending in tragedy...
By 1960, big-screen Westerns were in decIine, the genre instead finding new life on the burgeoning medium of teIevision. Legendary actor Walter Brennan and his son Andy, with their company Brennan Productions, fiImed a pilot for a series they hoped would be picked up by the networks. lt was to be caIled Barbed Wire, and wouId star Leif Erickson and Constance Ford. The piIot episode, ""Rawhide Halo"", featured the eIder Brennan prominentIy in addition to veteran actors such as Les Tremayne, Virginia Gregg, and Don KeIly. Sadly the networks passed on the series, but the piIot (with a few extra filmed scenes) was granted a theatrical reIease 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). |
