Book excerpt: The "Randolph Scott Movie Poster Book" presents nearly 90 rare and vintage posters from the classic films of the handsome, versatile leading man who became one of Hollywood's greatest and most popular western stars. As an actor, Scott's versatility can easily be seen in his long list of film roles. Scott appeared in just about every genre, including two musicals (not as a musical performer), "Roberta" (1935) and "Follow the Fleet" (1936). Both starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He was even cast in films opposite Shirley Temple, Mae West and Irene Dunne. One of his three films with Dunne was the classic screwball, romantic comedy, "My Favorite Wife" (1940). By the late 1930s and early 1940s, his western roles were increasing. In 1939, Scott played Wyatt Earp in "Frontier Marshal" and a lawman in "Jesse James" (1939) with Tyrone Power in the title role. In 1940, he was Errol Flynn's nemesis in "Virginia City." In 1942, he made two films with fellow Western icon John Wayne and Marlene Dietrich, namely "The Spoilers" and "Pittsburgh." During World War II, Scott served his country in his several war films including "Bombardier" (1943), "Gung Ho!" (1943) and "China Sky" (1945). By the mid to late 1940s, Scott sat tall in the saddle, making big hit westerns like "Return of the Bad Men" (1948). Others include ''Santa Fe'' (1951), ''Fort Worth" (1951), ''Man in the Saddle" (1951), ''Man Behind the Gun" (1953), ''Ten Wanted Men" (1955) and ''Ride Lonesome" (1959). He was one of the top box office draws of the 1950s. Considered among his best films are the seven he made between 1956 and 1960 with director Budd Boetticher. They include "Seven Men From Now" (1956) ''Comanche Station" (1960). Scott's last film was 1962's ''Ride the High Country" directed by Sam Peckinpah and co-starring another longtime western star, Joel McCrea. Some critics believe the film to be his best.

Book excerpt: Reclusive American actor Randolph Scott, known for his subtle, dignified performances in almost 60 westerns, has been called the "most genuine Westerner." His career began in 1928 with the first of several bit parts; his first starring role was 1932's Heritage of the Desert. He fought in World War I, studying horsemanship, shooting, and bayoneting, and acted in a variety of films in every genre from musical to swashbuckler. His final film was Ride the High Country (1962). Chronologically arranged from his birth in 1898 to his death in 1987, this book covers every film in which Randolph Scott acted. Each section begins with a biographical chapter and then lists Scott's films from that period: each film's entry has filmographic information, a synopsis, and detailed commentary, discussing such topics as the financial aspects, production details, acting, other participants, anecdotes, and critical responses. Quotes from interviews with figures in the industry and published reviews bolster the entries. A bibliographical essay completes the work, which is heavily illustrated with stills and promotional materials.

Book excerpt: In the world of Western films, Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea, and Audie Murphy have frequently been overlooked in favor of names like Roy Rogers and John Wayne. Yet these three actors played a crucial role in the changing environment of the post–World War II Western, and, in the process, made many excellent middle-budget films that are still a pleasure to watch. This account of these three Western stars’ careers begins in 1946, when Scott and McCrea committed themselves to the Western roles they would play for nearly twenty years. Murphy, who also joined them in 1946, would continue his Western career for a few years after his cohorts rode into the film sunset. Arranged chronologically, and balanced among the three actors, the text concludes with Audie Murphy’s last Western in 1967. Covering both the personal and professional lives of these three Hollywood cowboys, the book provides both their stories and the story of a Hollywood whose attitude toward the Western was in a time of transition and transformation. The text is complemented by 60 photographs and a filmography for each of the three.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the silent days of cinema, Westerns have been one of the most popular genres, not just in the United States but around the world. International filmmakers have been so taken by westerns that many directors have produced versions of their own, despite lacking access to the American West. Nowhere has the Western been more embraced outside of the United States than Italy. In the 1960s, as Hollywood heroes like John Wayne and Randolph Scott were aging, Italian filmmakers were revitalizing the western, securing younger American actors for their productions and also making stars of homegrown talent. Movies directed and produced by Italians have been branded “spaghetti westerns”—a genre that boastsseveral hundred films. In Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide, Aliza S. Wong identifies the most significant westerns all’italiana produced as well as the individuals who significantly contributed to the genre. The author profiles such American actors as Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef; composers including Ennio Morricone and Carlo Rustichelli; and, of course, directors like Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Leone. The most memorable movies of the genre are also examined, includingCompañeros, Django; A Fistful of Dollars; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; and They Call Me Trinity. In addition to citing pivotal films and filmmakers, this volume also highlights other relevant aspects of the genre, including popular shooting locations, subgenres like the Zapata western, and the films and filmmakers who were inspired by the spaghetti western, including Quentin Tarantino, Richard Rodriguez, and Takashi Miike. An introduction to a unique homage of American cinema, Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide allows fans and scholars alike to learn more about a genre that continues to fascinate audiences.
