ODMETNUTI PASTUV

Outlaw Stallion, The (1954)

[Philip Carey ... 'Doc' Woodrow (as Phil Carey), Dorothy Patrick ... Mary Saunders, Billy Gray ... Danny Saunders, Roy Roberts ... Hagen, Gordon Jones ... Wagner, Trevor Bardette ... Rigo,

Morris Ankrum ... Sheriff]

- Hagan is rustling horses lead by a white stallion from a Government restricted area. Young Danny Saunders captures the horse who then kills Hagen's mare. Hagen needs the white stallion and when Danny is hurt during the beaking of the horse, his mother gives the horse to Hagan. Upset, Danny runs away to be with the horse. His mother chases after him and they are both made prisoners when they see Hagan's rustling operation. I'm a big fan of a subgenre I tend to think of as "horse westerns", i.e. westerns where a single horse dominates the action and is the object of various humans' attempts to either raise it or catch it. These were usually in color (Technicolor, Cinecolor, Trucolor, etc.) and were made primarily in the 1940s and '50s, starting with 20th Century Fox's My Friend Flicka (1943) and including Wildfire (1945), The Red Stallion (1947), The Strawberry Roan (1948), The Golden Stallion (1949), Trigger Jr. (1950), The Palomino (1950), Wild Stallion (1952), The Lion and the Horse (1952) and Gypsy Colt (1954), to name a few. [Director: Fred F. Sears] [64 min, 1.85 : 1, Western, USA]

• Deni (B. Gray) živi na ranču sa svojom majkom (D. Patrick) koja je udovica. Na velikom imanju živi i zaštićeno krdo divljih konja koje vodi beli pastuv. Deni se uspeo približiti tom veličanstvenom konju i sprijateljiti se sa njim. Međutim, zakonska zaštita divljih konja lukavom razbojniku Hagenu (R. Robertsu) ne znači ništa, jer namerava krdo sterati u ograđen prostor i poslati preko granice...

A musical about a man, Reb Randall, who rides into a frontier town looking for his brother's killer, but is surprised to find everyone in the town is celebrating his kin's death and, for that matter, gunplay in general. He eventually discovers the murderer and each man swears to shoot down the other in a gunfight. However, their girlfriends team up to put an end to the bloodshed. Alfred Jingle got the wrong man! [Director: George Marshall] [91 min, 1.85 : 1, Musical l Western, USA]

• Film "Crvene podvezice" je vesela satira na standardne vestern filmove, Reb Rendal (G. Mitchell) jaši u Kaliforniju, u grad Izgubljeni raj, da se obračuna sa čovekom koji je ustrelio njegovog brata Robina, Ali, kada je došao tamo, nalazi napušteni grad. Svi su otišli da proslave Robinov pogreb, u skladu sa "zakonom zapada". Rezultat je dobra stara tradicionalna gužva. Na čelu pogrebnih svečanosti nalazi se privlačna plesačica Kalaveras Kejt (R. Clooney), koja voli snažnog šerifa Džejsona Korberija (J. Carson), ali prigovara načinu na koji on upravlja gradom. Ona je odlučila da raščisti situaciju i da se uda za Džejsona. Jedan od kolovođa u tom neobičnom veselju je zgodni Rafael Moreno (G. Barry), koji je zaljubljen u Šejlu Vintrop (J. Gilbert), lepu devojku iz Bostona, ali mu ne polazi lako za rukom da je osvoji. Ljubav sad takođe zahvata I Reba Rendala. Predmet je njegove pažnje zavodljiva senjorita Suzana Martinez de la Kruz (P. Crowley), štićenica Džejsona koji se odupire toj vezi. Reb i Rafael postaju doskora veliki prijatelji. Međutim, Reb uskoro saznaje da je Rafael čovek koji je ubio njegovog brata. Iako oni ne žele da se tuku zbog Robina, koji je ustvari bio loš čovek, Džejson insistira na njihovom dvoboju, jer je to "zakon". Međutim, usred bučnog veselja, kada je napetost bila na vrhuncu, dolaze devojke i sprečavaju krvoproliće. Pravi je ubica Robina u stvari Bili Baket i ceo se grad raduje, pripremajući venčanje mladih parova. Pesma "Brave Man" u izvedbi glumice i pevačice Rozmari Kluni bila izuzetno popularna u bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Pesmu su napisali Džej Livingston (Jay Livingston) i Rej Evans (Ray Evans). Godine 1957. naš poznati kompozitor Nikica Kalođera obrađuje pesmu iz filma koju Anica Zubović peva pod nazivom "Negdje u dalekom svijetu". [Croatia film]

Ballard seeks to stall McCarthy while tracking down evidence that will prove his innocence: but the townspeople's loyalty to him gradually begins to waver under McCarthy's accusations. [Director: Allan Dwan] [81 min, 1.37 : 1, Western, USA]

• Den Balard (J. Payne) je poštovan i omiljen rančer u malom gradu u kom živi već dve godine. Tokom proslave Dana nezavisnosti, četiri stranca ujašu u grad, a vodi ih ratoboran i neugodan nasilnik (D. Duryea), koji tvrdi da je savezni šerif sa nalogom za Balardovo hapšenje zbog ubistva... Vestern je specifičan po tome što se radnja odvija u realnom vremenu. Srebrna žila je tipičan vestern. Alana Dvana (Šerif sa granice, Lepotica iz Montane, Kraljica prerije) krasi konciznost, jednostavnost, inventivnost, ironičnost i u tome svemu on nije nimalo spektakularan, ali je svakako prekrasan. Specifičan je i po kadrovima kroz prozor, dubinskim scenama koji su naglašavali situacije u kojima likovi posmatraju jedni druge, kao i veličanstvenost korišćenja arhitekture i dekora holivudskog vestern grada.

• Meksiko, druga polovina 19. veka. Iskusni sredovečni Ben Trejn (G. Cooper), povratnik iz američkog građanskog rata, i beskrupulozni Džo Erin (B.

Dok Džo, u saradnji sa podjednako egoističnom groficom, želi zlato da prisvoji za sebe, Ben je sklon da ga prepusti pobunjenicima koji se bore za pravednu stvar. Pogotovo nakon što se zbliži sa mladom kradljivicom Ninom (S. Montiel), koja je zapravo saradnica huarista...
