    Widmark was one of those actors who could play about any part, good guy or bad guy, supporting or leading, and do it well.

    Although not physically imposing, Widmark had incredible screen presence. Great actor.

    Garden of Evil was also the first CinemaScope western picture and its outdoor vistas made excellent use of the new widescreen format. One of the most visually impressive pictures ever made. Good job, Wrangler, on giving Richard Thorpe his due for directing on How The West Was Won.

    Always loved Richard Widmark, , read his bio, all around good man, loved reading his Grandmother was Scottish, and he went to the movies every Saturday afternoon. I too am from Edinburgh, Scotland, went to the Saturday matinees, loved the cowboy & Indian movies, we were a rowdy bunch, whooped it up when, here comes the cavalry, great memories.😊

    One of my favorite actors in westerns & noirs. I heard an amusing story that when cast in YELLOW SKY Widmark was totally inexperienced at handling & riding horses. He learned fairly quickly apparently trooper that he was.

    Yellow Sky is terrific film worth more than pedantic comments about continuity errors! Widmark doesn't seem to have been in a bad western

    • @davidbrown386
      @davidbrown386 Год назад

      One of the great things about Yellow Sky, is you can and cannot predict which outlaws survive snd don’t. You knew Widmark and John Russell would get theirs, and it was likely Gregory Peck would would survive and end up with Anne Baxter. But the other three (especially Harry Morgan)? Not at all.

    Richard Widmark could play whatever type of characters Directors wanted. He was always on top of his game. This compilation of films is great. A couple of the movies mentioned I don’t remember ever seeing and that takes some doing since I have watched so many in my life and westerns are my favorite type movies. I would definitely Lipton see what other westerns he was in.

    "The Way West "(1967) & in his more mature years a fun western which doesn't take itself seriously, "Once Upon a Texas Train" (1988) with a host of veteran character actors well past their prime. 🤠

    He did his share of film noir as well. He was guilty of overacting at times but I usually enjoyed his performances. He was certainly a versatile actor.

    Richard Widmark excellent in any part good guy or bad guy. In my opinion his best western is “The Last Wagon” (1956) followed by “Yellow Sky” (1948), “The Law and Jake Wade” (1958), “Garden of Evil” (1954), “Warlock” (1959), “Broken Lance” (1954), “How the West Was Won” (1962), “The Way West” (1967), “The Alamo” (1960), “Death of a Gunfighter” (1969), “Alvarez Kelly” (1966), “Backlash” (1956), “Two Rode Together” (1961), “Cheyenne Autumn” (1964)

    Although an effective Western actor who employed firearms at need in the movies, Richard was very involved in gun-control issues IRL. Here is a quote from him:
    "I know I've made kind of a half-assed career out of violence, but I abhor violence. I am an ardent supporter of gun control. It seems incredible to me that the United States is the only civilized nation that does not put some effective control on guns."
    Also Richard was almost unique in Hollywood vis-a-vis his relations with women:
    Although he played mobsters dripping in evil with an arm around some femme fatale, Widmark was a mild-mannered man who had married his college sweetheart, the actress Jean Hazelwood, and who told a reporter 48 years later that he had never been unfaithful and had never even flirted with women because, he said, "I happen to like my wife a lot."
    Great actor, greater man....

    I saw garden of evil When I was a kid on NBC’s Saturday night at the movies. 20 or 30 years later, I vividly remember the movie because of Bernard Herrmann’s music and the cinematography. For the most part, the script is pretty unsophisticated. I remember with embarrassment the scene where Cooper and Susan Hayward return to the gold mine and find her husband played by Hugh Marlowe, has been crucified upside down by the apaches. Cooper makes some stupid remark about how all of us have a cross to bear in our lives.
    My favorite scene, though is well scripted and that’s the one where Gary Cooper finds a mortally wounded Richard Widmark who held off the Apaches long enough for Susan, Hayward and Cooper to escape. Widmark utters the best lines in the movie when he and Cooper look look at the setting sun. Widmark says, ‘there it goes. Every day it goes and somebody goes with it. Today it is me.“
    Then he dies. Cooper says, “if the Earth were made of gold, men would die for a handful of dust. “. ruclips.net/video/E28OG5T-670/видео.html

    Please do a re-cap of Deforest Kelly in westerns. I can't think of a single western where he actually played a good guy. I don't think Star Trek fans realized Kelly played so many bad guys.

    I kept waiting for Death of a Gun Fighter to finish your video. While not very accurate The Alamo is entertaining, of course Disney's version wasn't very realistic either.
