He had a great character voice. (Edgar Buchanan) He's been gone 35 years now.

He and some of the other cast showed up on Green Acres also. I think he also showed up on some Beverly Hillbillies espsodes as well.

He played in all 222 episodes of PJ and played in the others too all as Uncle Joe. He played the lead in Judge Roy Bean in the 50s. He acted in Shane and many other westerns.

His performance in the John Wayne film McClintock set his character up for years. He will always be that irascible, larcenous guy . The same scoundrel as Mr. Haney in Green Acres. Which was a spin off of Petticoat Junction.

Yep. He played with John Wayne in Comancheros, too.

Yep. He played with John Wayne in Comancheros, too.

And McClintock as well.

Good party, where's the whisky? Great movie and classic line.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Yep. He played with John Wayne in Comancheros, too.

That's right. I forgot about that.

I think the section of that film with Wayne and Lee Marvin might be one of my favorite parts of any western. Except Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch, which may be the best western ever made.

And of course Comancheros is on disk on Netflix and not streaming. I would watch that right this second if it was available.

Good call.

Now that we've completely hijacked this thread.

The girl who played Wayne's daughter in McLintock was Stephanie Powers. She was in an old black and white film with Glenn Ford, Ross Martin - from Wild Wild West and Lee Remick - who was Jack Lemon's wife in The Days of Wine and Roses.

The film is titled Experiment in Terror about a woman who works at a bank and is being coerced into stealing money. This film put Ross Martin on the map as an actor.

It's a little dated now, but chilling. Back when they could make a film that scared the bejeebers out of you without all the cursing and the body count of 128.

Aah yes, I remember him in Shane.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Aah yes, I remember him in Shane.

Ah yes, based on the book The Last Gunfighter. Jack Palance was the best western bad guy ever! Loved Clint Eastwood in the remake (Pale Rider) too!

 

[TwoDeep3]

So, did Shane ride off to die so the kid wouldn't know as a favor to the Sterret's?

In the book it is implied but no one really knows. I prefer to believe that he is still out there somewhere.

Zimmy, Zimmy, Zimmy....it was great, but how could that ever top The Wild Bunch? The opening shootout if over 7 minutes long. It was the first American film to introduce squibs, the exploding blood packets.

This is the beginning of a new type of Romo versus Rogers thread, you know?

The Wild Bunch is on my top ten list of all-time great westerns.

He'd be like 105 and traded his horse in for a hoveround......Shane, wheel back this way...Shane! Shane!

Where's Perry to throw down the stats on this?

 

[theSHOW]

Mitchell, Smith, Byrd, Williams, Watson, Patrick, Coleman, Bishop.

Good thread.

who you got? Patmon vs Thomas?

Yep, I didn't know when I started watching it that Pale Rider was a remake, but it became obvious quickly. They just changed the boy to a girl and the Mom just flirted with him in the original; whereas, he got some action going with the Mom in the Clint Eastwood version.

Jack Palance was a great bad guy. He was once called the ugliest man in Hollywood.

Never knew that. Great film but too violent for my lovers' genes. I like the old movies when they clutch their torso, make a face and fall over. One of the reasons I love the ultimate Japanese 'western' Zatoichi.

I like Red River, The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, High Noon, Lonesome Dove, Unforgiven and the latest True Grit.

Seems we're getting a bit OT here.

And McClintock as well.

He also played in Donovan's Reef with Wayne. I looked him up and found out he played Curly Bill in Tombstone way back when. He also worked with Glenn Ford a good bit as well as Fonda and some with Randolph Scott. I wonder how much he weighed in some of those movies. He wasn't as rotund as Andy Devine but he was hefty in some films.
