The Silver Screen Oasis

Hey all, I mentioned and reviewed one of the 3 westerns I got from my father's friends in the what films are you watching thread and I thought i'd ask if any of you remember these movies or not

RED SUNDOWN (1956) starring Rory Calhoun
PANHANDLE (1948) starring Rod Cameron
UTAH BLAINE (1957) starring Rory Calhoun

Well how can I remember them if they're "forgotten"?

Bogie-bud, how are ya'?

Of the three I've only seen Utah Blaine and that's been a while so I'm a bit foggy (like that's not the norm). To the best of my recollection it was an okay oater. I don't mind Calhoun, he's decent enough in the action department, just don't ask for (open) range in his acting. He can pull ap unch or fire off a six shooter as well as most of the "B cowboys. I think he was a pretty fair athlete and that helps in the fight scenes.

Yep as I noted in my review of RED SUNDOWN he was akin to cardboard. The interesting thing though is that I found out recently that he's the distant cousin of a sports talk show host here in Toronto.

So it's enlightening to actually see what the guy was about. I can actually see the family resemblance to the talk show host as well.
