Ride Lonesome (1959)

(Budd Boetticher, US 1959, 73 min., 35mm)

Randolph Scott is bounty hunter Ben Brigade, escorting Billy John (James Best) to town to be tried for murder, but taking his time. What he really wants is for Billy John’s brother, Frank (Lee Van Cleef) to catch up to them so that he can seek revenge for his wife’s murder. Tense and filled with surprising reversals and double-crosses, Ride Lonesome is the best of the collaborations between star Scott, writer Burt Kennedy, and director Budd Boetticher made at Columbia Pictures.

About This Series

70 Years of Cinemascope

The moviegoing experience changed in 1953 with the release of the first films shot in Cinemascope. Almost doubling the width of the conventional cinema image, filmmakers could now challenge the ubiquity of television with images that far exceeded those audiences could get at home.
