Rory Calhoun

Discovering the wonderful world of canned peaches.

POWDER RIVER (1953)
A peace-seeking man returns to the gun when his partner is murdered.

RED SUNDOWN (1956)

After a friend dies saving his life, a gunman tries to change his life.
Solid and likable western
with Dean Jagger as a sheriff named Jade
and Martha Hyer as his handsome daughter.
Best line from the song:
"Till I come for you in the light of the red sundown... "

APACHE TERRITORY (1958)

Rory Calhoun takes charge of a motley group
besieged by Indians at a watering hole,
while five credited writers try to prove
that a drifter can undergo character development.
Yet another western where you wish the weighty Leo Gordon
weren't cast as a heavy; Frank de Kova is given the chance,
and proves that a Pima can be a mighty likable and dependable friend.
Perennial romantic reject John Dehner delivers a line
that Gunsmoke fans will find allusive:
"We're getting out of this pest hole tonight."

The host of the 1963 reruns of Death Valley Days,
in its syndicated incarnation as Western Star Theater.

Alas for Rory fans and Bigfoot followers,
this movie is impossible to find,
probably because of its high artistic quality.
