In another couple weeks, VCI’s Special Edition of Silver Lode (1954) will hit the streets (May 25th). Allan Dwan’s work certainly deserves to be better known — the guy directed around 400 films, and if you’re unfamiliar with his stuff, this is a good one to begin with.
Same goes for John Payne, whose 50s Westerns are typically excellent, many with a bit of a noir-ish quality. I’m dying to see Rebel In Town (1956).
Unfortunately, this is one of the only 50s Westerns on the DVD horizon these days.
