Also, I was sorry to see that Mr. Fenady just passed. What a great story teller recounting the behind the scenes of movie making wheeling and dealing! Our condolences to his family and friends.
Hondo is one of my favorites, it's a classic! I could have listened to Mr. Fenady tell his stories of movie and television production all day long, hi was quite a character. RIP.
He’s totally right that Hondo is better than Shane. I’m always arguing this with people. Now I can say I’m not alone in that assessment. Great interview!
I like Shane better, But Hondo is my favorite John Wayne Western, so many Great scenes, like throwin' the kid in the water, that dog, his wise words, etc.
I can't say one is better than the other because to me I love them both equally. Where one is better for one reason, the other is better for another reason. I would hate to have to make a choice of one over the other.
It was a great show, about a movie, novel, and TV series that I've always loved. The final seconds were a kick in the gut, though. That was a man's man.
Hondo is one my favorite western movies. I recall watching a 1976 episode of 60 Minutes where L'Amour was interviewed by Morley Safer. It's worth watching. (ruclips.net/video/0da3C2BLCro/видео.html)
A.J. Fenady was such a great character and storyteller... the kind of direct no-nonsense writer/producer that HOLLYWOOD sadly doesn't have anymore. I met him once regarding optioning one of my TV storylines, and his brother directed so many episodic TV shows, just wonderful people. HONDO as a TV show was not a hit, only a short eight episodes I believe... the style despite good casting was kind of dated and not up to the grade of say THE HIGH CHAPARRAL which debuted a short time later. But A.J.'s western stock company of actors was a bit more alive than producer A.C. Lyles quickie oaters on Paramount's western street. But to A.C's credit,he did give the old-timers a chance to get out of the house and work. Rob doesn't get to talk much today as A.J. really is a master raconteur of old HOLLYWOOD, and to think with a lifetime smoking his trademark cigars, he got to make it to 91 just incredible. A.J., Quinn Martin, Aaron Spelling, Michael Landon -you just don't get that kind of straight-talking and loyal producer today...
when they bring to life any of Louis L'Amour books, I am always reliving my childhood dreams of reading those books. I wish the Walking Drum would be made one f these days... Tyler, Sackett, Chantry, Riley, Cardiac, No-name Rubble noon.. Back Ketchem..etcetc
Mr. Rob Word, that is a fantastic interview! Great indeed, so many interesting piece of information that Mr. Fenady brings to light. And at the end of the interview, that shot on the wall showing Mr. Fenady's pictures and the portrait of the movie The Night of the Tiger/Ride Beyond Vengeance is very nice. That movie is so good it deserves a video as well. Thanks a lot. May Mr. Fenady rest in peace.
He lived a long full life of 92years..and enjoyed a nice cigar which I also love cigars, still sharp minded at 87 when this interview was done. Sad that all of the people from our past are starting to pass away. 😑
My father and I own this (picture) movie Hondo. Thanks Rob for posting, my father was just watching this movie texted picture scenes he liked the other day!😊
Rob, you've consistently done great interviews, and this is no exception. Mr. Fenady is quite a character, just what I'd expect from a high-flying dream maker. What a memory; what a story teller. Bravo!
Heckuva character. RIP AJ. I love your shows and the people. So many important folks whose names I might've seen but never would know except through your interviews. Thanks!
I love those old Westerns. I never even knew he had lived so long but that cigar looked mighty good. Thank you for posting history, these brilliant minds may be gone but their work will live forever.
Oh boy Rob, this was a great interview. Love that man, Andrew Fenady. I bet , no I know , he could tell some great stories. He was a character n I bet more so in his younger days. So sad we have lost him this past April... my he rest I’m peace. Loved this one!! ♥️♥️😊👍
Ralph Taeger! I’ve met him! He lived in my town. I used to buy my wood from him and I waited on Mrs Taeger all the time at my job. Nice folk. Sorry that he’s passed on.
I would think a filmography of how stunt men and women went on to becoming movie stars would be interesting. Silent westerns with Tom Mix and with Wyatt Earp on the movie lot , along with a young Marion Morrison would be an excellent starting point. Louis Llamour set the standard for many folks. Joe Picket and Walt Longmire are a modern day remake of the Sackett brothers
Hondo was originally made for 3 d In theaters l have told john wayne wanted to do hondo after he given the book TO read. John ford felt it should be made. And john wayne should do it
@@sundownsigns l.am to see hondo in 3 d In a theater in new york city five years ago they did special on different 3 d Movies. At the time One 3 d movie at time on a Saturday afternoon it was the first time l every saw a 3 d movie in a theater l have a copy of Hondo on dvd. But l did enjoy watching it on 3 d
It is virtually impossible to have a favorite Word On Westerns episode. I love them all. In this instance though, I must say I have a favorite. This episode for sure!!! This episode for sure!!!
I loved the interview with A.J. Fenaday, he strikes me as the kind of man one could sit and listen to for hours!!! The people you've known amd interviewed amazes me! What a great mass of interviews amd work you've put together. It would be great to have the whole series of them in one big collection!
We don't know when we will be able to return to taping new shows at the Autry. We are hoping to be back by Sept 15, 2020. Our live production schedule (audiences always welcome, no charge) had been the 3rd Tuesday of every other month. However, I can't publicize the guests until a few days prior to our taping because I don't like to disappoint the audience when a particular star doesn't show.
John Wayne, Robert Taylor. Noah Beery ... Oh my God!! How much I love these Guys! In Argentina during the 1970s, we had 'Saturday of Super Action' at Channel 11, and 'Saturday of Cinema and Series' at Channel 13, both with Westerns, War, and Adventure movies (mostly American, but also British, Italian and French) plus some British series (UFO, The Avengers) from noon to well past midnight. My absolute joy was to have my favourite movies from the Duke (Rio Bravo, El Dorado, The Comancheros, The Searchers, Liberty Valance and so many others) and Taylor's 'Iron Pants' trilogy - Knights of the King Arthur, and my favourites Ivanhoe and Quentin Durward -, plus Stewart Granger's Scaramouche and Swordsman of Siena. One Saturday I watched Ivanhoe, Scaramouche, and Rio Bravo together, 45 tears later I still remember how exhilarating afternoon it was. And sadly, the Saturday after the Duke died watching all my favourites of his while crying the death of my hero. Thanks Rob, for all this childhood remembrances!
Thanks, Tordogor. Never heard the term "Iron Pants." Ha! Those sword fights in the "Iron Pants" movies you mentioned were terrific. Yakima Canutt staged some of them.
@A Word on Westerns I really love the lesser known 'Quentin Durward', and the dagger fight with the Comte de Lamarck, hanging from the bell tower ropes. Besides, I am a huge fan of Robert Morley, and Kay Kendall was so adorable! Taylor did not enjoy very much his period in England making these movies. He was very dismissive of them, and I believe he coined the 'Iron Pants' phrase. Please, do one show if feasible on Robert Taylor's Westerns. I am crazy trying to find 'Stand Up and Fight' (1939), with Wallace Beery (Noah's father?), and also the one with the Women's caravan to the West. Last week, Taylor's 'Savage Pampas' (by Hugo Fregonese) was posted in RUclips. It has been several years since I saw it in American TCM. Good tine for a new viewing. Thanks again for your magnificent work!! If someday come South here, I will be very happy and honored to have you as my guest in a authentic Argentinean home-made asado (BBQ). Thanks again and very best regards!!
A. J.'s okay. Wouldn't like to say a word against him and I won't. I WILL, however, say a word for Louis L 'Amour. Whatever HONDO was...and we all know what it was. And however much it owed or didn't owe to "The Gift of Cochise"---the original short story. And whoever did or did not invent the Rin-Tin-Tin stand-in Sam the Dog let us be clear. Mr. L 'Amour wrote a whole raft of good books that owed NOTHING to HONDO. His books cover the story of the Frontier from the early days of colonization and exploration right down to the present day. His sagas about the Sackett/Chantry/ and Talon Families...The Broken Gun which is a modern (as opposed to Old West) murder mystery, THE HAUNTED MESA which takes us into a search for "those who came before" (the Anasazi) and some VERY strange happenings in modern day Four Corners Region is more science fiction than anything else. Not that he didn't write such things before...he did. There are moments in THE LONESOME GODS and THE CALIFORIOS that will leave you wondering "what's out there in the desert or the mountains when you're alone or when the dark begins to draw in. He published 89 novels and many collections of short stories (and one book of poetry) during his lifetime. Not to mention his autobiography: Education of a Wandering Man: A Memoir.
Sam was the best, along with Geraldine Fitzgerald. Not many older women could start their movie career off with a great film like “Hondo” as she did. A star was born!
I have a beautiful picture of the Duke in hondo in the beginning during the opening credits. If interested comment back and I also have a one from the 60s. Original and framed. Been trying to sell thank you John Wayne is the man I love all of his pictures from the 30s all the way to the 70s
Glad you made time for that interview he was one of a kind sounds like and what a history about westerns. Rob how do you do it putting out quality shows one after another please keep it up. Stay well Cheers
Rob, that what a fun interview to listen to and what a great character Fenady was. That was a six cigar light up story. It reminded me so much of my beloved Grandpa, a great story teller and so funny. I wish we could keep these people forever. I love the inside stories of these wonderful Hollywood movies. I know they all enjoyed their interviews with you because they could see as we do, that you have such love and respect for their work.
I love the movie HONDO, my childhood growing up I remember Geraldine Paige visiting my Uncle John and my dad Larry. I didn't realize until I was older that Geraldine Paige is my father's cousin, my pops was born in Dodge City, Kansas... what a great movie 🎥💕💕
Great interview. You usually do a great job, but you are so desperate to guide every interview Back to WESTERNS. I love old Westerns ( & sometimes new) as much as anyone, but sometimes- Please let them just continue with their stories. It does NOT always have to be totally Western oriented. Even though You are totally taken up with old westerns. you might recognize when some of these old actors & Actresses were not totally into Westerns & let them speak or don't have them on. Most of them try very hard. Some of them even go out and get the traditional "Western Shirt" with the Cliche Piping & V on the chest & back . Thank You
Thanks for the comment, Dennis. When we go off-brand, our audience numbers decline tremendously, so we try and keep focused on what works. However, since we've grown in length from the original 3-4 minute episodes 9 years ago, our longer shows have our guests discussing much of their other non-western work.
Unfortunately we never did an interview. I grew up watching him on Rin Tin Tin and met him at a Golden Boot Awards when he was honored. Producer Bert Leonard gave me one of “Rusty’s” uniform for our auction!
Me, too! This interview was done specifically to time it with our launch of HONDO on getTV and that’s all AJ gave us. He had lots more stories. What a pistol! RIP.
Awesome But you always are Rob. I sent you an autographed copy of my new novel c/o the autry I don't want anything and I'm not asking for a plug or anything. I admire you and I dedicated to you for that reason.
Sorry to hear of Mr. Fenaday's passing, but he did Shane a huge injustice when he said Hondo was a better western. No comparison! The dog was even better in Shane.
11:20 "Too many ghosts." Inception nostalgia. When a character in a story about a lost golden age refers to an earlier lost golden age.
Also, I was sorry to see that Mr. Fenady just passed. What a great story teller recounting the behind the scenes of movie making wheeling and dealing! Our condolences to his family and friends.
Bob Mac these greats have been and are leaving us.
that is why these interviews are so important!
They don't make them like A.J. anymore. RIP
Hondo is one of my favorites, it's a classic! I could have listened to Mr. Fenady tell his stories of movie and television production all day long, hi was quite a character. RIP.
You can get Hondo on RUclips!
@@Elainerulesutube Thanks for the info.
He’s totally right that Hondo is better than Shane. I’m always arguing this with people. Now I can say I’m not alone in that assessment. Great interview!
hiram hacklesworth I would too.
I like Shane better, But Hondo is my favorite John Wayne Western, so many Great scenes, like throwin' the kid in the water, that dog, his wise words, etc.
yep, the kid in shane is somehow "not in the movie"...
I can't say one is better than the other because to me I love them both equally. Where one is better for one reason, the other is better for another reason. I would hate to have to make a choice of one over the other.
A fun discussion, Shane vs Hondo.
I wonder, would more men pick Shane and more women pick Hondo?
As I'm watching this video, Angel and the Badman is playing on the TV. Just came on the Grit network.
Best 15:10 I’ve spent in quite awhile. Thank you so much for reviving images and feelings of my youth while watching. 🙂👍
Fun interview with Fenady, he appeared to be quite a character. 😁 Sad that he recently passed.
It was a great show, about a movie, novel, and TV series that I've always loved.
The final seconds were a kick in the gut, though.
That was a man's man.
It is always interesting to see how the sausage is made. Thanks for this wonderful insight into the creation of Western Classics.
I thought the same thing about the beginning of L'Amour's career as a novelist. I thought the script came from the novel, not the reverse.
Thanks, BillyLT. Glad you enjoyed it!
Hondo is one my favorite western movies. I recall watching a 1976 episode of 60 Minutes where L'Amour was interviewed by Morley Safer. It's worth watching. (ruclips.net/video/0da3C2BLCro/видео.html)
I would love to hear his Shane/Hondo comparison.
Me, too!
More great stories....always look for this on Sunday mornings.
Glad you like them!
A great video, Rob. Thank you.
There's something to like in someone enjoying the pleasure of a cigar.
he was a handsome man..what a character
Hi there, Hondo great movie from a great book! I just love Louis l'amour story telling style ! Since my teens years. Thanks for this great interview
A.J. Fenady was such a great character and storyteller... the kind of direct no-nonsense writer/producer that HOLLYWOOD sadly doesn't have anymore.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts!! Really enjoyed it! 👍🏻 Bravo sir!
when they bring to life any of Louis L'Amour books, I am always reliving my childhood dreams of reading those books. I wish the Walking Drum would be made one f these days... Tyler, Sackett, Chantry, Riley, Cardiac, No-name Rubble noon.. Back Ketchem..etcetc
Straight from the horse's mouth. What a wonderful share. I loved the Hondo feature and the series.
Regarding my comment just now - I've just seen a reply on the same topic which answered my
question. That's a relief!! These interviews are great.
Mr. Rob Word, that is a fantastic interview! Great indeed, so many interesting piece of information that Mr. Fenady brings to light. And at the end of the interview, that shot on the wall showing Mr. Fenady's pictures and the portrait of the movie The Night of the Tiger/Ride Beyond Vengeance is very nice. That movie is so good it deserves a video as well. Thanks a lot. May Mr. Fenady rest in peace.
Robert Taylor in "The Last Hunt"...he was the man you loved to hate!
He lived a long full life of 92years..and enjoyed a nice cigar which I also love cigars, still sharp minded at 87 when this interview was done.
Sad that all of the people from our past are starting to pass away. 😑
Thank you, Mr. Wordb for documenting so many wonderful behind the production stories.
It is truly a delight to hear them.
Thank you Rob Word
My father and I own this (picture) movie Hondo. Thanks Rob for posting, my father was just watching this movie texted picture scenes he liked the other day!😊
Great interviews and another reason to look forward to Sunday's! Keep up the good work Rob.
Rob, you've consistently done great interviews, and this is no exception. Mr. Fenady is quite a character, just what I'd expect from a high-flying dream maker. What a memory; what a story teller. Bravo!
A Big Time Thumbs Up Rob. 👍
Great interview. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thought this was about the movie Hondo, well worth watching anyway.
Heckuva character. RIP AJ.
I love your shows and the people. So many important folks whose names I might've seen but never would know except through your interviews. Thanks!
I love those old Westerns. I never even knew he had lived so long but that cigar looked mighty good. Thank you for posting history, these brilliant minds may be gone but their work will live forever.
Really enjoyed that interview! The stories he can tell would probably make a great book its self! That was fun and very entertaining thank you!!
Thanks, Mark. Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh boy Rob, this was a great interview. Love that man, Andrew Fenady. I bet , no I know , he could tell some great stories. He was a character n I bet more so in his younger days. So sad we have lost him this past April... my he rest I’m peace. Loved this one!! ♥️♥️😊👍
Thanks, Shelly. AJ was quite the character.
Kathie Browne was hot. She was one of the more memorable alien babes from STAR TREK:TOS.
Good actress, too. Married to the Night Stalker, Darren McGavin.
Ralph Taeger! I’ve met him! He lived in my town. I used to buy my wood from him and I waited on Mrs Taeger all the time at my job. Nice folk. Sorry that he’s passed on.
That holster looks like the one Nick Adams wore in The Rebel
Wonderful....just wonderful....glued to every word.
I would think a filmography of how stunt men and women went on to becoming movie stars would be interesting. Silent westerns with Tom Mix and with Wyatt Earp on the movie lot , along with a young Marion Morrison would be an excellent starting point. Louis Llamour set the standard for many folks. Joe Picket and Walt Longmire are a modern day remake of the Sackett brothers
Thanks for blowing the dust off that one.
You bet
this guy is all you want in a producer. if he had written his autobiography, i'd read it.
Great interview
Great piece, Rob, please give us more of this interview! 👍🏼
I concur.
Wish AJ had given us more time, Matt. I'll bet, with him now looking down on all of us, he does, too!
A Word on Westerns: Well, Rob, that’s the mark of a great interview - leaving us wanting more!
Just the best as always thanks . Happy Trails
Thanks, you too!
Hi Rob...another great interview sir!....AJ was a real character... No BS from this man!.,..Sorry to hear his passing!....Take care!
Great story teller. Smoking that coffin nail the hole time. Probably would have lived to be 120 otherwise. RIP
💕👍
I love Hondo.
Hondo was originally made for 3 d
In theaters l have told john wayne wanted to do hondo after he given the book TO read. John ford felt it should be made. And john wayne should do it
As an eight year old, I first saw Hondo with those cardboard glasses on in a movie theater in Springfield, Missouri.
@@sundownsigns l.am to see hondo in 3 d
In a theater in new york city five years ago they did special on different 3 d
Movies. At the time
One 3 d movie at time on a Saturday afternoon it was the first time l every saw a 3 d movie in a theater l have a copy of Hondo on dvd. But l did enjoy watching it on 3 d
Great interview.
Wow, tons of movie history there in just 15 minutes. The list of actors mentioned is almost endless.
AWESOME INTERVIEW !!!
May God rest his soul. The Rebel was a real treasure. The interview was too.
Very, very enjoyable. A great man in the entertainment industry.
Cigars are harmless. But that's a good, long life. And a completely fascinating story. Great episode.
Mr Word im most impressed....your best at least since I've been watching.
It is virtually impossible to have a favorite Word On Westerns episode. I love them all. In this instance though, I must say I have a favorite. This episode for sure!!! This episode for sure!!!
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying them. AJ was great!!
almost all the greats that i grew up watching are gone.great job word.
Meyer, Meyer pants on fire! You won't see the likes of him at Paramount anytime soon and I know I worked there for almost 20 years.
Thanks that was most entertaining.
Rob, you’re one lucky man.
Thanks rob ! You did it again.
Very entertaining Rob. Extremely informative. As usual you are top notch.
I loved the interview with A.J. Fenaday, he strikes me as the kind of man one could sit and listen to for hours!!!
The people you've known amd interviewed amazes me! What a great mass of interviews amd work you've put together. It would be great to have the whole series of them in one big collection!
Thanks, Don. Lots of people ask about a DVD collection, but I think that market may be disappearing. There are a lot of them, though.
What a guy... Rest in Peace.
Godspeed
Always look forward to a new installment.
“Why you.......”
3:38 'I said, "Pappy -- That's for EXITS"'
Thanks for this. I couldn't make it out when viewing this interview just now.
Have to put this interview up with the top ones!Great interview! I really enjoy your shows!
Much appreciated!
Love this show. How can I find out about coming to one of the Live events when they start up again?

If someday come South here, I will be very happy and honored to have you as my guest in a authentic Argentinean home-made asado (BBQ).
Thanks again and very best regards!!
I liked the movie Hondo and John Wayne did a great job. It was a good western story.
Robert Taylor had already basically played Hondo, in a 1950 film called Ambush, about a scout in the Apache War.
Wow good.good show Rob. Filled in some interesting peices in the hollywood picture. Thanks Rob.
Would have never known Robert Taylor that low on the billing. One I'm going to have to watch.
A. J.'s okay. Wouldn't like to say a word against him and I won't. I WILL, however, say a word for Louis L 'Amour. Whatever HONDO was...and we all know what it was.

seems to be lots of longevity in westerns. I never even knew about the TV Hondo.
I’ve watched this like 3 times! I could listen to him talk for days! Sorry to hear of his passing! Seemed like a fine gentleman!
Thanks, Les. He was, as they say, "A whirling dervish."
Another pure gold timeless gem Rob !
These interviews would otherwise be lost to time !
Thank you again !
Thanks, quadsman. I'll keep 'em comin' at ya!
Glad you made time for that interview he was one of a kind sounds like and what a history about westerns. Rob how do you do it putting out quality shows one after another please keep it up. Stay well Cheers
Thanks, dff. Movies are my hobby and my hobby is my life. Ain't got time for much else!
this was great loved it thank fo making and showing all my heroes and your one of them thank you
My pleasure!
Rob, that what a fun interview to listen to and what a great character Fenady was. That was a six cigar light up story.

Thanks, Elaine. We're doing the best we can to "keep these people forever" in our series.
My all time favorite actor
Great interview
I love the movie HONDO, my childhood growing up I remember Geraldine Paige visiting my Uncle John and my dad Larry. I didn't realize until I was older that Geraldine Paige is my father's cousin, my pops was born in Dodge City, Kansas... what a great movie 🎥💕💕
Thanks, Kelly.
Great interview. You usually do a great job, but you are so desperate to guide every interview Back to WESTERNS. I love old Westerns ( & sometimes new) as much as anyone, but sometimes- Please let them just continue with their stories. It does NOT always have to be totally Western oriented. Even though You are totally taken up with old westerns. you might recognize when some of these old actors & Actresses were not totally into Westerns & let them speak or don't have them on.

Lee Aaker had a part in Hondo. It's a pity you didn't interview before he passed away in April, 2021
Unfortunately we never did an interview. I grew up watching him on Rin Tin Tin and met him at a Golden Boot Awards when he was honored. Producer Bert Leonard gave me one of “Rusty’s” uniform for our auction!
Wish you had more with A J talking about the movies like Chisum and a western called Broken Sabre
Me, too! This interview was done specifically to time it with our launch of HONDO on getTV and that’s all AJ gave us. He had lots more stories. What a pistol! RIP.
Awesome
But you always are Rob.
I sent you an autographed copy of my new novel c/o the autry
I don't want anything and I'm not asking for a plug or anything.
I admire you and I dedicated to you for that reason.
Thanks, Dave. I haven't seen it yet and will call to find out where it is. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Did he ever say why HoNDO was a better picture than SHANE?
Unfortunately, no. I wish we had been able to continue with more from AJ. He was quite the raconteur.
Have you done anytime on Dennis Hopper? I would appreciate it!
Yes, check out our interview with Don Murray regarding FROM HELL TO TEXAS, the film that caused Dennis to get blackballed.
