Six-Gun Law - Westerns of the 1950s: The Classic Years
Barry Atkinson
There are no two ways about it-the 1950s was the decade in which the American Western flourished and attained an absolute peak of perfection. So cowboy, saddle up, strap on your shooters, grab your rifle, and get ready to ride into a hot, dusty and highly dangerous universe populated by not-so-good guys bent on vengeance, cowardly townsfolk, bad hombres, rebellious Native Americans, glamorous dames in distress, evil land-grabbers, corrupt saloon owners, masked raiders, outlaw gangs, rustlers, psychotic villains, bank and stage holdups, train robberies, wagon trains under attack, cattle barons feuding with sheep farmers, ghost towns, gripping gunfights, bruising fistfights, crooked town officials, stand-alone lawmen, gun-toting ladies, cold-hearted killers, stampeding cattle and horses, comical sidekicks, cavalry battles, engaging 10-year-olds as tough as the adults, lone, trigger-happy strangers met with slit-eyed suspicion and towns where trouble lurks on every dusty street corner, all set against America's striking natural scenery and mostly shot with an expertise unknown to a generation of 21st-century moviegoers fed on a never-ending diet of CGI-dominated movies with nary a Stetson or horse in sight.
The 1950s was the decade in which Western movies thrived and reigned supreme; this volume hopefully, and conclusively, sets out to prove it.
Six-Gun Law 3 covers 446 movies, contains over 450 photos, and is an essential reference for every Western fan.
