Hollywood & the Stars: The Western

[@glenrobinson916]

I grew up watching these westerns. It helped to inform our lives, to be courageous, good and polite to women like a real cowboy hero.

I saw this episode in 1963. Great show, and haunting theme. Makes one long for a simpler past. The stars were from the Golden Age of Hollywood, all now gone. Sad. With all of the car crash movies and explosions, the talents of modern actors, if any, is hidden.

We loved these westerns as we grew up. My mother bought my brother beautiful cap guns and holsters. My brother took them all apart trying to figure out how they worked. My mother collected the pieces of each gun and stored them in coffee cans which she gave back to him as an adult.

BRILLIANT edition! HOW THE WEST WAS FUN!

[@glennso47]

Didn’t the Olson Twins make a movie by that title?

The "All-Girl Indian Expravaganza" was actually the comedy short WHAT, NO MEN?, starring El Brendel.

[@hulkamania5071]

they need to make a ne version of this to see westerns from the 60s and 70s

[@JCVD1998]

you have forgotten one of the greatest silent western stars Harry Carey.

[@mr.roberto1898]

You mean they did

Thanks for uploading this. I loved "Hollywood and the Stars" when I saw it when it came out in the early 60s and have thought of it often. I really the theme song. Sorry the top of the picture is cropped. Have you found the episode on monster movies, "Monsters We Have Known and Loved"?

[@rodwillerton]

Glad you enjoyed it, Bill. I'm afraid that I don't have "Monsters", but I do have one or two more episodes to upload in due course.

What about Don Knotts “The Shakiest Gun In The West?”

Big Jake with an aged John Wayne.

[@jamesdunn9714]

I wonder why "Shane" wasn't included?

[@KeithDec25]

Probably could not get the release rights from Paramount

[@lray1948]

and Ox Bow Incident and Cimarron and The Searchers

[@olderthanyoucali8512]

Funny, Hollywood fails to mention the treatment of the native Americans or the fact that there'd be no cowboys without the Vaqueros of new Spain, which became Mexico for about 25 years, or the stolen lands that resulted in these two groups of people's being placed on the bottom rungs of western society up to this day! There's nothing to celebrate when history is presented in such a twisted way in the pursuit of the anglo dollar! As a young person I enjoyed the movies, now as a historian enjoyment isn't what emotion I feel when watching whats called entertainment. Remember ignorance is bliss.

0:00 to 24:31 no Burt Reynolds in this video

[@H.pylori]

Why should there be....the show was made in the 60's and recent films would not have been included. Also, what classic western was Reynolds in that would merit being included in a show of only 24 minutes?

[@lray1948]

@@H.pylori When this was made Reynolds had barely progressed beyond occasional TV roles in western and cop shows. His first movie was in 1961 (Angel Baby). His first western was in 1966 (Navaho Joe).

[@altanaeliza]

Cary Grant hasn't appeared in a western. It said all male stars had

[@lray1948]

A few others like Charles Boyer, William Powell and prominent British Actors like Lawrence Olivier, James Mason, David Niven and Trevor Howard haven't

GUNGA DIN...close enough for jazz

[@mr.roberto1898]

"Only Angels have wings" was close(strapped with a gunbelt +holster).
