The Scott-Boetticher collaborations -- commonly known as the Ranown films (from Randolph Scott and producer Harry Joe Brown) -- include Seven Men from Now, The Tall T, Decision at Sundown, Buchanan Rides Alone, Ride Lonesome, and Comanche Station.

This is great news, if these terrific but underrated films are finally being restored. Til now, only Seven Men From Now has been released on DVD. Some of the others are shown occasionally on TMC or, more frequently, on Encore Westerns channel (but only in pan-and-scan format on Encore).

Nothing like a good Western.Last night the wife and myself were watching an old “58 version of the Titanic,she mentioned we need to start getting these on DVD or tape.I think she might be right.

I watched a documentary on Boetticher a while back on TCM. They interviewed Clint Eastwood and Quentin Tarantino who both confessed that they were strongly influenced by Boetticher’s work. A couple of weekends back, I got a chance to watch “Seven Men from Now” and it was not what I expected. There was a lot of understated emotion in that movie that was surprising given its theme. Oh and not to spoil it for anyone but the final showdown with Lee Marvin(one of my favorites) totally blew me away! Western movie fans should plan on seeing “Seven Men from Now” the next time it airs.
