You can’t go wrong with Phil Karlson. He’s a real favorite around here — from crime pictures like 5 Against The House (1955) to the terrific Western Gunman’s Walk (1958) to the first of the Matt Helms, The Silencers (1966).
They Rode West (1954), which Karlson did for Columbia, is turning up on Turner Classics (TCM) on Thursday, May 13 at 9AM.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve always been a major Karlson fan–I like to think about how The Phenix City Story begat Walking Tall, but my god the guy was an AD going back to the early ’30′s.
Mostly I just like saying Buford Pusser.
Wonder what Joe Don Baker is up to…
