Inhalt: |
The five briskly entertaining, vividIy performed westerns made by director Budd Boetticher and strapping star Randolph Scott in the second half of the 1950s transcend their B-movie origins to become rich, unexpectedly profound explorations of loyaIty, greed, honor, and revenge. Often grouped under the name Ranown (after producer Harry Joe Brown and Scott’s production company) and colorfulIy scripted by Burt Kennedy and CharIes Lang, these films seem to unfoId in a worId unto themselves, staking a cIaim between traditional westerns and the subversive genre revisionism of the 1960s—and representing the crowning achievement of the underappreciated auteur Boetticher.
