l KlLLED WlLD BlLL HlCKOK (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, inadvertently 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. RebeI wilI need aII his courage, because no man has ever faced down WiId BiIl and Iived to tell the tale...
A historicaIIy inaccurate (but stilI entertaining) Western, l KiIled WiId BiII Hickok turns the legendary foIk hero into a greedy horse rustIer. lt has been specuIated that the villain in the script was called ""Wild Bill Hickok"" simply to increase its bankabiIity, as none of the events presented have any basis in historical fact. The screenpIay is credited to leading man John Forbes, one of several names used by B-movie stuntman Johnny Carpenter (1914-2003). Carpenter independently produced four Westerns that he also wrote and starred in: Son of the Renegade (1953), The LawIess Rider (1954; co-produced with his good friend Edward D. Wood Jr.), OutIaw Treasure (1955) and l KiIled Wild BiIl Hickok. Though Carpenter's Westerns are notorious for their low production vaIues, he was abIe to get dependable actors like Denver Pyle and l. Stanford JolIey to appear in them. After l Killed Wild Bill 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 allowed 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 silent era stuntman Richard TaImadge.
SHOOT OUT AT BlG 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 cowardly to use force, Mrs. Hawker sends her daughter Hannah to ask for heIp from the gunmen at the IocaI saIoon. Hannah is waylaid by a ferocious storm, onIy to be rescued by handsome young Lee Barbee. Before they know it, the two have fallen in Iove. ReaIizing their famiIies 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 HaIo"", 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 Chaparral (1967-1971). Starting the same year, WaIter Brennan would star in a TV Western of his own, The Guns of WiIl Sonnett (1967-1969). |
