Randolph Scott- The Ultimate Cowboy. My Sunday Mornings

Randolph Scott-

Above- The Tall T shot in what is for me the first time I have ran across-Mega Scope. There many scope processes. Most common, Cinemascope.

He was a staple for me and other western fans back in the ’60s and early ’70s on Sunday mornings. There was one almost every weekend. Thanks to our rotor antennae back in the day we were able to cherry pick over the air signals from 90 miles or more from any direction it was pointing to. I say or more because off air signals have a tendency to skip over bodies of water and we lived near Lake Ontario so, it was not uncommon for us to pick up stations (broadcast- I emphasize) like Toronto and channel 6 especially. But it was channels 2 (Buffalo) and channel 3 out of Syracuse for our Sunday morning features.

Well now I get the chance to introduce what I qualify as the best that Randolph Scott made between the late ’40s through the late ’50s. Within this collection of his films -most directed by a legend in the film business, Budd Boetticher. So, read on and I hope you will be inspired to seek out both Scotts and Budds careers and their works. *** one exception to this collection is covered in related material below.
