Brother Richard recently sent me a massive archive and compendium or Old Westerns –
from mostly the 40’s and 50’s – the Golden Era of Westerns.
Thank You Richard.
SOOO … in looking through all this (which is impossible) I’ve come across many things of interest.
Though we lived in the ‘States for a while (Illinois) as kids, we were pretty transient
and often lived rurally (in the country) and had no access to TV –
and in fact, didn’t have a TV most of the time.
Us kids thought this was ordindary – that everybody lived this way.
But it resulted in was huge gaps in my exposure
to a lot of things, such as, Western Movies and TV shows.
Like, for example, this guy: TIM HOLT:
Tim, of course, is well known among most Western afficiandos and fans, but, although I well recall such
Western Stars such as Gene Autry and Hopalong Cassidy,
I have no recall of Tim at all.
Tim did have a great career in film – mostly Westerns, and indeed appeared in at least 2 of the Greatest and most important Western Movies ever made:
Stagecoach (1939) and My Darling Clementine (1946).
Tim never achieved the magnitude of Stardom of John Wayne (who could!) or Henry Fonda,
but he sure rubbed elbows with many of the greats over his 44 year Film career.
He was no lightweight.
They don’t make ’em like this anymore.
My Darling Clementine and Stagecoach are fully intact
and in superb quality on YouTube.
NEXT:
I’ve uncovered a bunch of my own Artwork from years past – mostly photo manipulations.
Thought I might throw them up here?
We’ll see.
