When young Crazy Horse, of whom great things were predicted, wins his bride, rival Little Big Man goes to villainous traders with evidence of gold in the sacred Lakota burial ground. Of course, a new gold rush starts despite all treaties, and Crazy Horse becomes military leader of his people. Initial Indian victories lead to the inevitable result. Uniquely, all is told from the Indian perspective. [Director: George Sherman] [86 min, 2.55 : 1, Biography l Western, USA]

Ovo je neobičan film s obzirom na doba kada je nastao jer se o Indijancima govori sa saosećanjem za razliku od većine vesterna u kojima su prikazani kao divljaci i uglavnom služe kao meta za gađanje puškom ili pištoljem.

 U DIMU BARUTA – S01 [SERIJA, 1 EPIZODA]

Gunsmoke – Season 1 (1955)

• Maršal Met Dilon (J. Arness) je zadužen za Dodž Siti, grad na Divljem zapadu, gde ljudi često nemaju poštovanje prema zakonu. Svojim veštim rasuđivanjem i hrabrošću uspeva da razreši sve tuče, pucnjave i razne prevare kojih ima i na pretek. U dimu baruta je američka radio i televizijska vestern serija koju su stvorili režiser Norman Mek Donel i pisac Džon Meston. Radnja se događala u i oko Dodž Sitija u Kanzasu u doba naseljavanja američkog Zapada. Radio-verzija se emitovala od 1952. do 1961. godine, pa se smatra jednom od najboljih radio drama svih vremena. Televizijska verzija se emitovala od 1955. do 1975. godine, i kao takva se smatra jednim od najdugotrajnijih igranih TV-programa u istoriji američke i svetske televizije. Glumačku postavu radio-verzije činili su Hauard Mek Nir u ulozi Doka, Vilijem Konrad u ulozi Meta, Džordžija Elis u ulozi Kiti i Parli Baer u ulozi Čestera. Radio-dramska serija imala je 9 sezona sa 432 epizode od oko 30 minuta. Ideju za seriju je kasnih 1940-ih dobio predsednik CBS-a Vilijem S. Pejli, poznat kao veliki poklonik radio-serije Avanture Filipa Marloua (The Adventures of Philip Marlowe). Svog direktora programa Hjubela Robinsona je zamolio da napravi sličnu seriju u tvrdokuvanom stilu, ali smeštenu u doba Divljeg zapada. Heri Akerman, potpredsednik CBS-a za Zapadnu obalu, inače kreator serije o Filipu Marlouu, je preuzeo zadatak. Godine 1949. su na audiciju došle dve verzije - "tvrdokuvana" radio-drama "Mark Dilon Goes to Gouge Eye" sa Rijom Bilsburijem u glavnoj ulozi, i mnogo "mekša" i po karakteru vedrija sa Hauardom Kalverom. Akerman je odobrio ovu drugu, ali se ubrzo ispostavilo da je Kalver vezan ugovorom za radio-seriju Stright Arrow, pa je projekat tavorio u ladici tri godine. Tada su CBS-ovi pisci Norman Mek Donel i Džon Meston pronašli "tvrdokuvanu" verziju i na osnovu nje odlučili da naprave ličnu radio-seriju. Mek Donel i Meston su za cilj imali da naprave vestern "za odrasle", u smislu da se bavio ozbiljnim i ponekad neugodnim temama, za razliku od mladenačkoj publici namenjenih naslova kao što su Usamljeni rendžer (The Lone Ranger) i Cisko Kid (The Cisco Kid). Njihova serija je bila smeštena u Dodž Siti u doba kada je to mesto vrvilo kaubojima i goničima stoke 1870-ih. Glavni junak je bio šerif Met Dilon, koga je glumio Vilijem Konrad. Stalni likovi su bili morbidni gradski lekar "Dok" Čarls Adams (Hauard Mek Nir), Dilonov povremeni pomoćnik Čester Proudfut (Parli Baer) i lokalna prostitutka Kiti Rasel (Džordžija Elis). Tokom njenog trajanja je stekla brojne pohvale zbog niza inovativnih zvučnih efekata, izvrsnih dijaloga i za tadašnje doba neuobičajeno realističkog prikaza života na Divljem zapadu. Mnoge od epizoda su se bavile skalpiranjem, linčom i zavisnošću od opijuma i narkoticima. Glavni je junak bio prilično različit od vestern arhetipova, odnosno prikazan je kao psihološki ranjen čovek. Mnoge od epizoda nisu završavale sa tada standardnim hepi endom. Televizijska serija Gunsmoke crno-bela (1955-1966) i u boji (1966-1975) imala je 20 sezona i 635 epizoda. TV-producenti su odmah na početku odlučili da tumač glavne uloge ne bude Vilijem Konrad, s obzirom da je bio previše gojazan. Umesto toga je uloga Meta Dilona data Džemsu Arnesu koji ju je zadržao svih 20 sezona. Do kraja je ostao i Milburn Stoun u ulozi Doka Adamsa. Amanda Blejk je ulozi Kiti Rasel ostala do pretposlednje sezone. Dilonovog pomoćnika Čestera B. Gudea je tumačio Denis Viver, koji je 1964. godine napustio seriju. Njegov lik je zamenio Festus, koga je tumačio Ken Kertis. U seriji se izmenio veliki broj stalnih i povremenih likova, a neki od budućih holivudskih zvezda su upravo u njoj imali prve zapažene uloge. Primer je Bert Rejnolds u ulozi kovača Kvinta Aspera (1962-1965).

[Director: André De Toth (as Andre de Toth)] [88 min, 2.35 : 1, Western, USA]
• Vrativši se iz Američkog građanskog rata Džoni Hoks (K. Douglas) pokušava iz osnove da promeni svoj nekadašnji život. Umesto ratovanja sa Indijancima, odluči da bude pregovarač, kako bi pleme Sijuksa dopustilo prelazak karavana doseljenika preko njihove teritorije. Sagovornik mu je bivši protivnik, poglavica Crveni Oblak (E. Franz), koji je i sam sklon životu u miru, a čija mu se lepa ćerka Onahti (E. Martinelli) sviđa. Poglavičin brat Sivi Vuk (H. Landers) ne želi pregovore sa belcima, posebno zato što zemlja Sijuksa krije velike količine zlata. Za to sazna beskrupulozni Ves Tod (W. Matthau) koji uz pomoć svog partnera Čivingtona (L. Chaney) neće birati sredstva da bi prevario Crvenog Oblaka i dokopao se zlata... Između angažmana u vesternu "Čovek bez zvezde" (1955) i uloge u biografskoj drami "Žudnja za životom" (1956) za koju je nominovan za Oskara, američki glumački superstar Kirk Daglas odlučio je da nastupi u filmu koji je producirala njegova vlastita kompanija Bryna Productions. To je vestern Indijanski borac ili "Beli ratnik" u režiji holivudskog reditelja mađarskog porekla Andrea De Tota koji je početkom 50-ih snimao vestern za vesternom (Vođa ranča, Čovek u sedlu, Karson Siti, Zadatak majora Leksa, Poslednji iz plemena Komanča, Stranac sa pištoljem, Pobuna u Teksasu, Lovac na ucene, Jahač sa sačmarom, Dan odmetnika), i to sa priličnim uspehom. Ni ovaj mu film nije izuzetak, jer je više nego solidan predstavnik žanra. Tim više, jer je reditelj imao pred sobom izvrstan scenario Bena Hekta i njegovog kolege Frenka Dejvisa, koji su osmislili slojevit tekst koji je istakao celu paletu likova i na strani Indijanaca i na strani kauboja. Film se ističe i izrazitim romantičnim pristupom, i to ne samo u lirskoj fotografiji Vilfrida M. Klajna realizovanoj na lokacijama u Oregonu, već pre svega u središnjoj ljubavnoj priči između kauboja Džonija Hoksa i Indijanke Onahti. Zanimljivo je da je motiv međurasne ljubavi izazvao dosta oprečnih komentara u tadašnjem Holivudu, ali De Tot nije hteo da menja početni koncept. Kirk Daglas je glavni lik odglumio vrlo sigurno i sa izvesnom dozom humora, dok njegovog beskrupuloznog protivnika sjajno tumači Volter Matau.

They don't heed his advice since he's a Mexican citizen, married to the daughter of the Mexican vice-governor of the province and a friend to General Santa Anna since the days they had fought together for Mexico's independence. After serving as president for 22 years, Santa Anna has become too powerful and arrogant. He rules Mexico with an iron fist and he would not allow Texas to self-govern. Bowie sides with the Texans in their bid for independence and urges a cautious strategy, given Santa Anna's power and cunning. Despite the disagreement between the Texicans and Bowie regarding the right strategy they ask Bowie to lead them in a last ditch stand, at Alamo, against General Santa Anna's numerically superior forces.

 POSLEDNJI GRANIČAR

Last Frontier, The (1955) 

[Victor Mature ... Jed Cooper, Guy Madison ... Captain Glenn Riordan, Robert Preston ... Col. Frank Marston, James Whitmore ... Gus, Anne Bancroft ... Corinna Marston, Russell Collins ... Captain Phil Clarke, Peter Whitney ... Sergeant Major Decker, Pat Hogan ... Mungo]
- Crude and uncivilized backwoods trapper Jed Cooper and his two partners sign up as scouts in a remote Oregon army fort, manned chiefly by untrained rookie soldiers. Jed, flirting with the idea of leading a more settled life, decides he needs a woman to start the process, and selects Corinna Marston, the beautiful young wife of Colonel Marston, commander of the next fort down the line. Marston arrives and announces to commanding officer Captain Riordan that he has lost his fort and most of his men to an Indian attack and that he, as ranking officer, is assuming command. Riordan, a young, but sensible officer, is outraged when he learns that Marston, posted out west for having lost his 1500-man command during a Civil War battle, has ordered the entire fort's complement, totally unprepared for combat and outnumbered, to march out against experienced Indian warriors. [Director: Anthony Mann] [98 min, 2.35 : 1, History l Western, USA]
• Trojica trapera - neotesani Džed Kuper (V. Mature), mudri Gas (J. Whitmore) i Indijanac (P. Hogan), loveći na indijanskoj teritoriji, nalete na Indijance predvođene poglavicom Crvenim Oblakom, koji im otimaju puške, konje i krzna. Traperi odlaze u vojnu tvrđavu da bi od vojske zatražili odštetu, smatrajući da su Indijanci zbog njih neprijateljski raspoloženi. Umesto odštete, traperi dobijaju posao vojnih izviđača. Tvrđavom zapoveda kapetan Glen Riordan (G. Madison), a u njoj se nalazi i lepa Korina Marston (A. Bancroft), supruga pukovnika Frenka Marstona (R. Preston) koji gradi tvrđavu na indijanskoj zemlji. Neobuzdani Džed baci oko na Korinu i ne odustaje, čak ni nakon što se njen suprug vrati u tvrđavu ne obavivši svoj zadatak. Pukovnik Marston je oficir teške naravi, koji je u Građanskom ratu u smrt bez ikakvog razloga poslao hiljade vojnika, a to namerava učiniti i sada, želeći se po svaku cenu obračunati sa Crvenim Oblakom... Holivudski klasik Entoni Man (1906-1967) jedan je od najistaknutijih reditelja u istoriji vesterna. Najpoznatiji po seriji od pet antologijskih vesterna sa Džejmsom Stjuartom u glavnoj ulozi (Vinčesterka 73, Na okuci reke, Gola mamuza, Daleka zemlja, Čovek iz Laramija) i još tri žanrovska remek-dela: "Poslednji graničar", "Metalna zvezda" i "Čovek sa Zapada", kao i još nekoliko značajnih vesterna (Đavolji prolaz, Bes). Najmanje poznat od svih Manovih vesterna, "Poslednji graničar" je možda i najneobičnije Manovo ostvarenje. Začuđujući esej o sukobu prirode i civilizacije, koji se istovremeno odvija kroz priču, ali i u glavnom liku, kojeg je briljantno utelovio Viktor Mejčer (Moja draga Klementina, Masakr u tvrđavi Furnas Krik, Poglavica Ludi Konj, Karavan na Zapad).

- A Marshal must face unpleasant facts about his past when he attempts to run a criminal gang out of town. The marshal of Medicine Bend is tired and alone. Tired of killing to keep himself from being killed; alone because of an unspoken past disappointment. The realisation that someone in town is paying to have him killed and the arrival with a show troupe of the special someone from the past coincide to force more than one type of showdown.
