Entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks NJ ! I really enjoyed this one. He did a beauty of a run into a hop into the stirrup on Blackjack , an immediate 90 degree jerk of the reigns , and off he goes .... so fluid. That sums up Rocky.

Been watch these movies for over a year I am 66 and never seen any of them before. I was a kid in the fifties and never saw any of them.

[@rosalindayoung7269]

johnny kellie I am the same age and never saw them either..so glad to be aware of them now. My nightly routine In bed on cellphone

Really nice believable movie. The railroad path really caused these situations, throughout America. It had vast open lands with little stations, which thrived because of the railroad. Mostly poor Ranchers lost out, says history, there was no Rocky Lane Marshall !

Another great western

Rocky Lane was my favorite cowboy when I went to the saturday matinees,when a kid. I still like him after many decades. Rocky acted a lot with Roy Barcroft, also that guy in here called Anderson that Roy hit on the head in his office...also Myron Healy and Lane Bradford all were frequent in the Lane movies...then I saw all of these guys, esp Barcroft and Bradford a lot in Gunsmoke. Rocky was in 3 Gunsmokes episodes I saw. I read Rocky was egotistical and hard to work with some actors but he loved going as Rocky to childrens hospitals and when he got cancer, even before that, Barcroft and he were good friends, Roy visited him often...Lane did voice of Mr Ed the horse (1960-1966) and died of cancer in 1973, only 64 (born 1909.) I thought he wd have been a great main star in his own show...or if Gunsmoke had not gone to attempted comedy and family shows in years 10-20, he wd have been a great deputy for Matt Dillon after Chester left, as a straight performer of course.

[@lindakeogh4178]

He was a kinder and better horseman than most of the other cowboy heroes too.

Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Old Western Movies though. 👍👌👏 An of course, I'm a subscriber! Thanks Again Though.

I haven't watched all of this yet. I just had to see the voice behind the horse, Bamboo Harvester, aka Mr. Ed.

Rocky exemplified excellent characteristics as a law officer on film

[@charlesmoore4606]

[@63bplumb]

And that EXACTLY how it happened. At least that's how Rocky told me.

[@mikenewton474]

Rocky Lane has a great fist fight with Roy Barcroft at the end of this film. Lane may have been an egotist off camera, but on camera, he packed one hell of a wallop.

[@Jethrovsky]

Sorry to disillusion you but the fight was staged by both actor`s stunt doubles. Rocky Lane`s regular stunt double was Republic Pictures` top stunt man, Tom Steele who doubled for many stars including Roy Rogers, Bill Elliot, Allen Lane, Rex Allan, George Montgomery, Clayton Moore, Rod Cameron, James Arness. The stunt double for Roy Barcroft was Dale Van Sickel who had also doubled for Robert Taylor, Dana Andrews & Clark Gable.

[@wally1452]

Hey Mike...When a small kid, beginning at 8 years old and on, I'd go every saturday matinee possible to watch the movies, esp westerns; Rocky Lane was my favorite cowboy though I liked most all of them. Years later, many years, I came across his movies on Netflix and when retired and old, I liked the shows as much almost as when a kid. Somewhere I read that Allan "Rocky" Lane was hard to work with or such...maybe it was his ego that was the problem. Come to dwell on it now, Peggy Stewart, a long time actress in westerns too, I believe it was she that said something about him not being able to work very well with. It is odd, for years there have been certain actors I liked a lot and (still believe on rare instance) a TV actor esp may convey sometimes a bit of what they are really like. I recall thinking from interviews that Jim Arness' and (Jim Garner too) were "regular or nice persons"...then through the years a number of people said many things about how they liked working with these 2 men...that ego or money, etc, never changed them. A buddy of mine met Garner and another guy saw Arness fairly often (CA) and said same. It is amazing what money and being known does to most people though. ...sorry for the long rambling. wl

[@wally1452]

Jeff...I find it incredible (sort of) how the doubles look so very much like the real actors. Years later, thinking many actors do some physical things in films, I discovered and actually saw, looking closely, that a double was used when old "Doc" from Gunsmoke got hit and fell to ground, then got up...anyway, I paused it, went slowly and I could see a slight difference that made it plain it was not Milburn Stone falling down. I saw a much older Jim Garner and James Arness both riding a horse very fast, then the scene changed and anyway, I saw in the Garner scene the face of some other (stunt guy.) It sounds as it wd be interesting to see how movies are made. Thanks for good comment.

[@Jethrovsky]

Tom Steele- Allen `Rocky` Lane`s stunt double. The story goes that Republic Pictures western stars were selected in part due to their resemblance to Steele, who would do their stunts rather than the stunt double being selected for their resemblance to the stars.

ROCK LANE, MEU ÍDOLO DE INFÂNCIA, JUVENTUDE E VELHICE!!!

[@franciscosalles7981]

Provavelmente, esse foi o último filme de faroeste do Rocky Lane. O filme é de 1953. A partir de 1954, a indústria cinematográfica começava a mudar seus interesses no sentido de fazer outros tipos de filmes, como românticos ( "A princesa e o Plebeu - com Audrey Hepburn e Gregory Pec ). "Sabrina". Grandes produções como "Spartacus" com Kirk Douglas e outras. Os faroestes da época foram sendo deixados pra trás. A idade do ator já estava pesando também para fazer todas aquelas cenas de ação. Dizem que no dia a dia, fora das filmagens, ele era problemático, de pouca conversa, mas foi meu maior ídolo em minha fase de criança. Nem Zorro, Durango Kid, Roy Rogers me entusiasmaram tanto quanto Roky Lane.

Foi pesaroso para os fãs saber que, após o grande sucesso nos filmes de faroeste Série "B", Rock Lane, mesmo famoso, encontrou dificuldades para trabalhar em outros filmes. Passou a fazer pequenos papéis. Lane era grande ator, mas prejudicaram-no. Ele chegou de ter pequenas participações em 3 filmes de faroeste, com Audri Murphy como protagonista. Audri foi herói na Segunda Guerra Mundial, com atos de bravura. Não tinha, porém, cacoete para o cinema. Não era bom ator, era fraco na interpretação do mocinho. Ele era bem inferior ao astro Rocy Lane. E Lane ficou sendo menos que ator coadjuvante nos filmes do Audri. Uma injustiça enorme ao Lane. Praticamente uma humilhação. O mundo cinematográfico foi cruel com o herói absoluto da criançada. Rock Lane, inclusive, era bem melhor que Randolf Scot que estrelou um monte de filmes. Lane era também melhor que Rorry Calhoun que era fraco pra atuar. Rock Lane , segundo dizem, era bem orgulhoso. Deve ter sofrido em silêncio suas grandes decepções. Não morreu com câncer no pulmão, como julguei ter lido, e sim com câncer nos ossos, um dos mais doloridos. Teve um final de vida com muito sofrimento. Todos nós meninos daquela época - acho que posso ser o porta-voz - prestamos homenagem ao nosso maior herói e destemido defensor da lei: Allan Rock Lane.
