Glenn Ford Westerns … the 50’s

Now where wuz I ?? O Yeah ~ the 50’s …

The 50’s is often referred as the ‘Golden Age of Westerns’ – as they were popular and plentiful at that time (may they return again).

And many Western Classics were made.

Glenn Ford made 10 Westerns during the 50’s – of varying quality
– some Classics – some forgotten.

Let’s have a look.

The first one coming down the trail is:

The Redhead and the Cowboy

TIMNEATH says

“Not the most memorable of westerns, The Redhead and the Cowboy (1951) … Easily seen today as a metaphor for the spreading of communism, using confused and easily led people to spread the word of communism, without truly understanding it’s perceived power amongst the public … A routine Western that goes from place to place before the guy gets his girl, and enough for Glenn Ford to flex his muscles in the west once more.”

Reasonable ratings … a passable way to spend a couple of hours.
