Randolph Scott Collection

With an enduring legacy as a Western hero, 6ft 2in Randalph Scott was one of the silver screen's greatest drawcards. With over 100 films credits to his name Scott's cinematic career was varied, but it was the western and action genres that defined his image with moviegoers--the 'strong, silent' hero.

From the way-out west action of Santa Fe, The Texans and Gunfighters, to Howard Hawks' sea drama Corvette K-225, this collection brings together 8 films from Randolph Scott showcasing his trademark stoic calmness, with a hint of steel.
