I haven’t seen all the westerns mentioned, but my favorites
are:
1)Good, Bad and the Ugly
2)For a few dollars more
I like the grittiness, the attention to the ramshackle western
pioneers, some beautiful italian music,the sometimes depraved, but can do attitude of all the characters,
bad, or good. Somehow I picture the west to have been more of that
versus the clean sets,clean clothes, organized plots, catchy music “American” made
western. Shane had a very good moral dilemna, although I
thought it took toooo loooong before he realized that he had
to fight.
Anyone mention The Magnificent Seven? “We deal in lead friend.”
