Stranger On Horseback (1955) | Full Western

[@ronaldstrange8981]

As a western addict since childhood (almost) I am happy to recommend this film to fellow western lovers. Especially as John Carradine appears. England, January, 2024.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

It’s a genuine Louis L’Amour novel. I read him. He was Awesome to say the least. Was a loss to nations. He wrote significantly.

I started reading Western's as a 12 year old, Max Brand, Zane Grey, etc. This is a Classic I had never seen or heard before, true quality script. Unique twists and turns, good Movie. Thank You!

[@KJ-md2wj]

I loved Zane Grey's books as an adolescent. You can find some on the internet.

[@waltbroedner4754]

When I was also 12 my Dad's friend had the whole collection of Zane Grey books. When visiting one day I started reading one of them, when he saw me he told me to take it home with me. I did and kept going back until I had read the whole collection, one by one.

This is what a movie must teach and guide the society, truth prevails no matter what. It may look weary and disappointing for a short while, but it will prevail, for it is the foundation and purpose of creation. God bless.

For people who don't understand (see comments below), this movie was about principles not outcomes. It's principles of fairness and justice and that the rule of law supercedes feelings and loyalties, principles that are hard to find today where people too often just want what they want and will lie and bully others to get their way.

Joel McCrea a great western hero. Glad that Peckinpah realized it and had him in the Ride the High Country, one of the best westerns ever made.

Agreed. McCrea and Randolph Scott were perfect.

[@user-tg3tj2nq6v]

@@MOGGS1942 I have to say I do not really like the westerns of Randolph Scott (with one or two exceptions), I find them too soft and he lacks the authority of other western actors. But yes, in the Ride the High Country he is excellent.

A surprisingly good western for a one hour film! Very well acted. Excellent story line. McCrea is quite impressive here, perhaps his best western. John McIntyre also excels in his role. You may recall him as Elvis' father in "Flaming Star", among many other notable roles.

[@thomastarwater6035]

This movie was based on a story by Louis L’Amour (1907-1988), arguably one on the three greatest western novelists of the 20th century, right up there with Max Brand and Zane Grey. L’Amour lived to see many of his novels arrive on the silver screen and the television screen, and was known for his series of novels featuring the Sackett family from Tennessee who headed out west as gunfighters, lawmen, bounty hunters, prospectors, and settlers. He was one of my mom’s favorite authors, and I got hooked on his novels as well.

[@chrisbowen9043]

I'm fairly impressed. A decent western, starring an icon of the western genre. Good direction. Many stock character actors pulling their weight, and then some. Thanks for posting. Next time, I recommend starting the movie right at the beginning.

The story for this movie was written by Louis L’Amour (1907-1988), quite possibly the greatest western novelist of the 20th century. He was best known for his series of novels featuring the Sackett family, and quite a few novels were filmed for the silver screen and the television screen, including the two-part television mini-series THE SACKETTS (1979) with Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott and the television movie CONAGHER (1991) with Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross.

Joel McRae was one of the best big screen actors, especially Westerns. He was born in 1909 and his career as an actor spanned almost 5o years. He appeared in over 100 movies in which in 80 of them he starred. He appeared in Western films exclusively from 1946 to 1976, when he retired. In 1946, he turned down the lead role in "The Postman Always Rings Twice". He said "This character is too much of a gigalo. I don't like his moral standards." He turned down several roles because he couldn't see himself in them. (-from Wikipedia -) I rate Gregory Peck also as one of the best Western stars.

However good his (Joel McCrea) westerns are, for me no other of his films can top "Fort Massacre"(1958) For it's more than a western, a great war movie comparable to "The Steel Helmet"(1951) & "Pork Chop Hill"

@@tenaatv I saw "Fort Massacre" twice in theaters in my SE Asian country.. The 1st time in 1962 & I was sorely perplexed by its bleakness. The 2nd time in 1966, & I understood it as a true war movie & no longer a "cowboys - Indians" western. Joel McCrea and John Russell delivered absolutely !

The cattle king of Australia could travel from the bottom of South Australia, to the Gulf in Queensland, and not get off his own land. Australia is virtually the same area as North America, so it is not small. Quite a feat a hundred years ago, to own roughly that many properties.. His name was Sydney Kidman. If he had been over a place he never forgot it. One of his Stations, Durham Downs, in the channel country, was 4000 square miles. This is by no means the biggest Station over here, but it gives you an idea .
