Over the weekend, 50s Western From The 50s passed 50,000 hits. Thanks to all of you. I’m blown away by the response to this thing. (But I keep wondering — ain’t you people got better things to do?)
To mark the happy occasion, I’ve got a DVD of Sterling Hayden in Joseph H. Lewis’ Terror In A Texas Town (1958) for the first to come through with the picture’s working title. Use the form below to send in your answer. Good luck.
If you’ve never seen this one, it’s a must — a strange, cheap little picture with a script by the blacklisted Dalton Trumbo. It was Lewis’ last theatrical film before he headed into TV to give us a ton of great episodes of The Rifleman, among other things.
UPDATE: Congrats to Richard Vincent. Terror In A Texas Town began production as Hard As Nails.
Makes me think of the old Jonathan Winters bit about a gay-ish Ahab–”I’m not kidding! Where’s my harpoon?”
