Brennan, wasn't it - as Stumpy?
The Nelson/Martin duet was 'My riffle, my pony and me'.
Similar storyline to High Noon - and there was a lot of debate about that!

Though I'm not a particular fan of westerns either, one western that I do like, as much for the music as anything else, though the acting and non-traditional storyline are good too, is The Big Country. |

You missed out Brannigan ? |

Considered by many to be JW second/third best movie.
After Rio Bravo, also a western - made 10 years earlier.
With Walter Brennan, Ricky Nelson and Dean Martin.
The latter stole the show as the town drunk who become a hero, in the end.

I'm not normally enamoured by cowboy films but I loved this with John Wayne at his best, Kim Darby and the mighty Glenc - Glen Campbell still around (just). Haven't seen it since 1969. |
