Reviews:

I have really enjoyed Randolph Scott’s presence in films at both both bookends of his career, having previously seen him in the pre-Code ‘Hot Saturday’ (1932) and his last film, Sam Peckinpah’s first great film, ‘Ride the High Country’ (1962), as well as a few in between (‘Pittsburgh’, ‘Virginia City’ and ‘My Favorite Wife’ most readily come to mind), so I thought it was high time to visit some of his most influential films, the Western collaborations with Budd Boetticher.

Scott has a really unique presence in these films. So far, I have seen three of the seven they made together, and he doesn’t romance, he seems a tortured, troubled soul, even in the almost comedic, ‘Buchanan Rides Alone’. This was another excellent script by Burt Kennedy, finely scored and photographed. It was clear that this was a well-run filmic organization, that really knew what in tarnations they were doing. Rare is the film that is short but sweet. I consider this a ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ kind of movie, in that it’s not too long, not too short, but just right. Though not quite as good as its predecessor, ‘Ride Lonesome’, I still didn’t have the heart to give it a lower rating.

I know the Western genre as a whole tends to get short shrift these days, but when you see the great ones, it makes you really glad somebody made them–and that Boetticher and Scott made a lot more than simply seven together.

_**A principled man and woman team-up with a trio of dubious dudes on a desolate landscape**_

A former officer is now a lonely aging man in the Southwest (Randolph Scott). After bartering with the Comanche for a captive white woman (Nancy Gates), three outlaws enter the picture and complicate the situation (Claude Akins, Skip Homeier and Richard Rust).

“Comanche Station” (1960) is one of five Westerns from 1956-1960 written by Burt Kennedy, directed by Budd Boetticher and starring Randolph Scott. The others are: “7 Men from now,” “The Tall T,” “Ride Lonesome” and “Buchanan Rides Alone.” Two additional films omit writer Kennedy from the equation: “Decision at Sundown” and “Westbound.” A little cult has formed around these Westerns and most are first-rate despite not having the biggest budgets. I’ve seen five of ’em and the only one that’s not worthy is “Buchanan Rides Alone” (see my review).

This one was shot in 12 days and is similar to “The Tall T” and, especially, “Ride Lonesome.” All three were shot entirely outdoors and in the same area. “The Tall T” is arguably the best and has become a cult Western, but this one’s worth checking out. Nancy Gates was 33 during shooting and quite beautiful. This was her last film, although she continued to act in television for the next ten years.

There are some nice nuggets to be gleaned, like nobility vs. being a lucre-obsessed scoundrel, negative influence, the power of decision to determine one’s destiny and how living by the gun results in dying by the gun.

Scott retired after three decades in the business, but decided to come out of retirement for one last Western two years later because the script was so good. I’m of course talking about the great “Ride the High Country.”

The film is taut at 1 hour, 13 minutes, and was shot at Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, which is in south-central California, 55 miles from the Nevada border.

GRADE: B/B-

Short T
Saw this film again tonite via the DVD, mainly because it’s Scott’s penultimate film. Immediately thought of similarity to Scott’s The Tall T, later to Ride Lonesome and Seven Men from Now. Difference is I’d give that Elmore Leonard story a few notches on this. Claude Akins is better than just Movin On but doesn’t have the menace of Richard Boone or Lee Marvin. Scenery is favored over dialogue. Lots of cutting from scene to scene to indicate time has passed. Skip Hoemeier reprises his role as number 2 gun hand to the villain (Billy Jack to Boone ). Scott is great trading with the Comanche or getting the drop on the bad guys. Lots of good but familiar dialogue- “Seemed like a good idea”. He is the archetype noble cowboy true to his values and keeping his dignity, yet always practical. I like this film very much and will watch it again; I’m sure.

Unpretentious Artistry
Gaining the release of a rich white woman being held hostage by Comanches proves to be fairly easy for Ex-Cavalry officer Randolph Scott. The hard part is getting her back home with his sleazy former subordinate Claude Akins and Akins’ dim-witted partners tagging along, especially since they know what the woman’s husband is willing to pay for her return, or that of her body!

Another great film directed by Bud Boetticher, what strikes me most about this and others by Boetticher is the wonderful use of the widescreen image. Not only does every frame of the picture look like a master painting, they are also so perfectly balanced. Not an inch of Cinemascope is wasted.

The script by Burt Kennedy bears a passing resemblance to his earlier one for Ride Lonesome. Look hard and you’ll notice the burnt remains of that film’s memorable “hanging tree” standing in the middle of a large pond!
