Classic Westerns

The Way West:

The year is 1843 and Senator William Tadlock (Kirk Douglas) has the vision and foresight to dream of an empire beyond the Rockies. Joining his wagon train as it rolls out of Independence, Missouri, are others who share his idealism: a dirt farmer (Richard Widmark), his wife (Lola Albright) and a tough, embittered scout (Robert Mitchum).

Little can they know of the ordeal ahead as they load up their wagons and head for the Oregon territory. Dangerous rivers, burning prairies, marauding Indians and herds of stampeding buffalo are some of the unseen dangers that await these brave pioneers. It will take courage, determination and faith to carry them to the end of this arduous journey.

The Bravados:

In this gripping, action-filled tale of the Wild West, Gregory Peck leads an all-star cast including Joan Collins, Lee Van Cleef and Henry Silva. Jim Douglas (Peck), an expert tracker and gunman, is anxious to see justice exacted upon four violent men whom he believes raped and murdered his wife. As fate would have it, the four now face execution for a bank robbery and slaying. However, they escape hours before the execution. Taking charge of the posse intent on catching them before they reach the Mexican border, Douglas tracks down the criminals one by one, until the stunning, surprise ending of this powerful film.

Broken Arrow:

The year is 1870, and former Union soldier Tom Jeffords (James Stewart) is recruited to remove a tribe of Apache warriors who have been interfering with U.S. mail delivery. But Jeffords refuses, preferring to learn about Apache culture in order to attempt a peace treaty. Not only does Apache chief Cochise (Jeff Chandler) promise at least temporary peace by "breaking the arrow," but Jeffords falls in love with - and marries - a Native American woman (Debra Paget). Tragedy strikes, however, and it is now Cochise's challenge to stop Jeffords from acting out in vengeance in this classic western "with plenty of action" (Daily Variety) that is also a compelling love story.
