When I got back from Scotland on 16th September, it seems TCM movies has finished showing all the "Sugarfoot" episodes with the gorgeous Will Hutchins and is now showing "Cheyenne" with Clint Walker. I actually preferred "Sugarfoot", mainly because I fancy the young Will Hutchins more!!!

By tb1 at 25,Sep,22 12:55 other posts of tb1

Clint Walker was a big big dude, I wonder if his cock was size appropriate

By routemaster at 25,Sep,22 15:39 other posts of routemaster

I should imagine it was!

By tb1 at 25,Sep,22 16:32 other posts of tb1

Maybe that got him parts in movies because it sure wasn’t his acting ability.

By routemaster at 03,Sep,22 18:08 other posts of routemaster

TCM Movies is still showing "Sugarfoot" with the gorgeous Will Hutchins on t.v. here in the UK but from next week, they are also starting re-running a contemporary Western t.v. series from the same late 1950s/early 60s period (and in black and white, of course,) "Cheyenne" starring the late Clint Walker that I also remember from when I was a boy. However, I shall miss the first few episodes as this coming Monday (5.9.22), I'm off on holiday to Scotland again with friends and shan't be back until later in the month, so consequently, I shall temporarily be away from SYD too.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance with Jimmy Steward, John “The Duke” Wayne, and Lee Marvin

By buchanan at 26,Aug,22 17:16 other posts of buchanan

That film had a great title song sung by Gene Pitney.

By routemaster at 27,Aug,22 11:19 other posts of routemaster

Lee Marvin, Vera Miles and Edmond O'Brien were also in that film which should have been in colour. Do please correct me if I'm wrong as it is very many years ago that I last saw the film so I can't remember if Gene Pitney's song actually featured in the film or not. I thought that was written on the back of the success of the film and released later but I'm pleased to be corrected if I'm wrong.

--------------------------------------- added after 60 seconds

BtW, Gene Pitney was a great singer, another taken from us too early.

By #610414 at 27,Aug,22 12:20

According to Wikipedia
The Burt Bacharach-Hal David song "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance" became a top-10 hit for Gene Pitney. Though based upon the movie's plotline, it was not used in the film. Pitney said in an interview that he was in the studio about to record the song when "... Bacharach informed us that the film just came out." It seems unlikely that the song would be used for the opening credits since its lyrics give the film's surprise ending away. The picture was released April 18, 1962, and the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending April 28, 1962, peaking at number four in June

Another episode of "Sugarfoot" from 1960 was on TCM Movies this morning. I can't get enough of the young Will Hutchins, he is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful handsome face, even in black and white and I love his sexy voice too. He's also a very good actor.

If you google Will Hutchins 2020, there are lots of pics of him as he is now and also when he was in his prime as a very sexy young man. Considering he is now 92, he don't look too bad at all, can still see its him, has looked after himself and there's also a video of him talking about his career and other stars he worked with. Still got that sexy drawl of a voice, too.

By routemaster at 26,Aug,22 15:43 other posts of routemaster

How about Western musicals? Top of the list must be "Annie Get Your Gun" with all those great Irving Berlin songs and which gave the world the immortal "There's No Business Like Show Business". The one and only Ethel Merman played the lead on Broadway but by the time the film was made in 1950, she was slightly too old and was going to be replaced by Judy Garland who filmed some scenes but was then sacked for her unreliability, which wasn't entirely her fault and so she too was replaced by Betty Hutton.

Also the 1969 film version of Lerner and Loewe's "Paint Your Wagon" from which Lee Marvin had a number 1 hit with "Wand'ring Star" although my personal favourite is Harve Presnell singing "They Call The Wind Mariah". (I call it a bloody nuisance.) This film also featured Clint Eastwood's one and only singing role when he warbled "I Talk To the Trees".

What about Rodgers and Hammerstein's OAKLAHOMA!?

By routemaster at 26,Aug,22 16:05 other posts of routemaster

Of course! Shame on me for omitting this. Shirley Jones, who played Laurie in the 1955 film version, gave a concert in London in 2010 which I went to and she met the audience afterwards and signed autographs and chatted and was utterly charming and down to earth. It was a pleasure to meet her. Let's not forget, too, that as well as a beautiful singing voice, she blossomed into a substantial actress and in 1960 did a complete about turn from the sweet young things she had hitherto played by winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as a prostitute in the film "Elmer Gantry" for which Burt Lancaster also received a Best Actor Oscar too.

By buchanan at 26,Aug,22 17:13 other posts of buchanan

Let's not forget Shirley Jones starred in two other classic musicals, "Carousel" and "The Music Man."

By routemaster at 27,Aug,22 11:00 other posts of routemaster

Shirley was gorgeous in those too and, of course, we all remember her in the 1970s t.v. series "The Partridge Family" where she played mum to her real-life stepson the late David Cassidy.

Weill, "Oklahoma" really isn't a western in the traditional sense. Still a great musical.

Oh, that's tops in my book, in fact I am convinced that when I sing it FULL VOICE, I hit each note, PERFECTLY! And when I sing this song it is accompanied by hand gesture/movement! Yep, the hawk making lazy circles in the sky.....you can almost imagine you're there!

And when I get to this part;

And when we say;
Ee-ee-ow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay!

You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma, O.K.!

I guarantee that I can make the short hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up!

It was the first musical that Rodgers and Hammerstein did together! (The Sound of Music is one of my favorites. Julie Andrews' voice is amazing!)

Also, I am pretty sure that the whole 'making the hair on the back of your neck stand up' thing is not what R&H were aiming for...

Of course! Whip Crack-away!!! One of the greatest stars who ever lived, a fine actress and singer and my number 1 fave of ALL time. Gave a great dramatic performance as Ruth Etting opposite James Cagney in 1955's "Love Me Or Leave Me", both should have got Oscars, they were ROBBED. My favourite song of Doris's is "Move Over, Darling" which got into the British Top 10 in 1964, despite the BBC banning it for what they called "its suggestive lyrics". What nincompoops! Doris Day BANNED? OUTRAGEOUS!

Alan Hale played the eponymous hero in "Casey Jones", a 1958 series that was shown in the UK during what, in those days, was called "children's hour". I can still remember the theme song: Casey Jones, steaming and a-rolling, Casey Jones, you never have to guess. When you hear the hooting of the whistle its Casey at the throttle of the Canonball Express. !!!!!

Western music: can only be Ennio Morricone, who wrote much of the music for Sergio Leoneґs “Spaghetti Westerns” also starring a newcomer called Clint Eastwood,

Westerns: old school: would probably be “Shane” from 1953. Modern: hard choice between “Unforgiven” or “Open Range”, both great westerns with hard gritty backgrounds and marvellous camera work. Just my two cents worth

By buchanan at 26,Aug,22 17:09 other posts of buchanan

"Shane" is a classic for sure. How about "High Noon" and "Once Upon a Time in the West"?

Thanks for these, especially for me Frankie Laine singing "Champion the Wonder Horse". Barry Curtis, the boy in the 1955 series which was actually titled "The Adventures of Champion" didn't pursue an acting career after that and left the entertainment industry at the age of 17, gained a bachelor's degree in pyschology and passed away at the age of 75 in 2019.

Bravo!

"Bonanza" was a great theme tune too but the idea of three grown adult men all going to their "pa" with their problems and before they made any decisions was a bit yukky.

By buchanan at 21,Aug,22 14:55 other posts of buchanan

Bonanza was more of a light "western" not being as serious and rugged as westerns of the same era. Hoss was little more than a big clown.

He was that. I always found Ben too saintly and Little Joe too sanctimonious.

By buchanan at 23,Aug,22 14:43 other posts of buchanan

Adam (Pernell Roberts) was the most serious brother and Roberts chose to leave the series early as he grew tired of it. Maybe was frustrated being serious and dealing with the more comedic Hoss and Little Joe.

How about The Lone Ranger. A wonderful tv series and The William Tell overture.

Yes, both are great. I know a joke about that too: What's the closest thing to silver? The Lone Ranger's bum!!!

I like the Spaghetti Western films by Sergio Leone with the legendary music composed by Ennio Morricone. “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is number one for me.

Thanks Robben, a great choice of music too, played by the Hugo Montenegro Orchestra and a great film from 1968, too

The tv series Rawhide was terrific and every once in a while ‘Wishbone’ or ‘Mushy’ would sport a tight jeans crotch bulge

Thanks tb, "Rawhide" was great too with the lyrics sung by Frankie Laine who also sang the lyrics to "Champion the Wonder Horse".

I consider Rawhide the greatest western TV series theme. Don't forget the Ballad of Palladin from Have Gun Will Travel.
