Sergeant Rutledge
Western supremo John Ford took an unexpected turn when he directed this gripping drama. A respected cavalry officer defends a black soldier accused of rape and murder in late 19th-century Arizona, but finds himself facing a wall of hatred and bigotry. Although Woody Strode is excellent as the eponymous protagonist, and Jeffrey Hunter and Constance Towers are also among the adequate cast, it doesn't quite live up to expectations

Wild and wacky road comedy with more than a slight resemblance to the popular original, but it's still all good fun.

The Man from Laramie
Cowboy James Stewart sets out on an epic journey to avenge the death of his cavalryman brother, but rather than target the Apaches who killed him, he vows to go after the gang who supplied them with their weapons. Classic hard-boiled Western, inspired in part by Shakespeare's King Lear, with Stewart simply stunning in the lead, alongside Arthur Kennedy and Cathy O'Donnell. Directed by Anthony Mann
