As I said, Glenn Ford made 26 Westerns. Ive been trying to catch up.
BUT he was making Westerns before I was born!
Therefore I cannot profess expertise. Only what I like.
I can say that his Westerns definitely display
his unquestioned Star Power. He could carry the ball –
and was a Box Office Star for at least 40 years – in any film genre.
FYI: Several of his Westerns are available to watch for Free
on YouTube and other Internet Locations.
And most are of watchable quality.
I just watched The Violent Men (1955) on YouTube …
I have to think that a lot of Western Fans
would consider The Violent Men to be a Western Classic.
It is a good Western with a stuning Cast:
Glenn Ford, Edgar G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck, Brian Keith,
Richard Jaeckel, Jack Kelly …
With great Writing and dialogue.
I then rewatched The Man from Colorado
also on YouTube.
… and I have to confess it’s still tough to watch Ford play a Badguy.
But he did it again in 3:10 to Yuma.
A few other Favorites:
Thanks Glenn!
Moving on.

He’s always been one of my favourites. Many good Westerns there. I also love him in Jubal and The Sheepman. One I want to see is Day Of The Evil Gun.
He had the chops for making good Westerns. I sure enjoyed them.
He was excellent. A natural!
There’s still about 4 of his Westens I want to watch.
As it happens, I’ve been watching a bit of Ford too lately and may post something soonish.
Ah Good. I’ll be looking forward to it Colin.
