  • Canutt Saddle Wes Cowan
    Episode 901, Story 3 – Canutt Saddle Wes Cowan: This case asks if this saddle helped carry the all-American cowboy onto the silver screen. Archival film: “Cʼmon, get in your saddle. We gotta go tell this chief!” Wes: In 1930s Hollywood, audiences thrilled to death defying stunts. Rhett Butler leading Scarlett OʼHara out of a burning Atlanta in “Gone with the Wind,” angry Indians attacking the Ringo Kid in “Stagecoach,” and the cowboys who leaped, punched and tumbled in scores of films. What part did one man play in all these iconic action scenes? Now, Terry Garber from McCall, Idaho wonders if this saddle was ridden by a man who may have created the Hollywood stuntman. Iʼve got a few questions for Terry. Wes: Hey, Terry. Terry Garber: Hi, Wes. Wes: Oh, wow. let me help you there. Terry: I got it out of a bar in Weiser, Idaho. Wes: Now, are you a saddle collector then? Do you collect Western memorabilia? Terry: Yeah, I do. I collect lots of Western things. 1 Wes: So, what attracted you to this saddle? Terry: I bought it because of the name on the cantle. Wes: So, CANN-UTT. And then thereʼs a Y-A-K in the middle. Yak Canutt. Whoʼs Yak Canutt? Terry: Yakima was a world champion rodeoer. I heard heʼd moved to Hollywood and did stunt work. Wes: Terryʼs done some digging, and he believes Yakima Canutt was a stuntman in Hollywood movies, but I have to admit, Iʼve never heard of him Wes: So you think this was Yakima Canuttʼs saddle then? Terry: I hope so.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone.

Massood Marc Dolan THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii ABSTRACT Manifest Density: Decentering the Global Western Film by Michael D. Phillips Advisor: Jerry W. Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth. This perception persists despite its inherent shortcomings, among them its inapplicability to the many instances of filmmakers outside the United States appropriating the genre and thus undercutting this view of generic exceptionalism.

  • Uncivil Liberties and Libertines: Empire in Decay
    Uncivil Liberties and Libertines: Empire in Decay MARIANNE MCDONALD 1. I’ve been a film nut from the time my parents would park me in a film theatre as their form of baby-sit- ting. My father invented phone vision, which was an early version of cablevision that allowed us to see newly released movies at home on our round television screen, which looked like an old Bendix washing machine. I wrote one of the earliest books on classics in cinema—and soon after, more books on the topic followed mine.1 I looked forward to seeing the films described in Ancient Rome, many of which I had not seen because I have avoided blood-fest films which invite being described with gore-filled ecstasy. (I have also avoided slasher movies, holocaust movies, and kiddie movies because they disturbed my possibly misguided sensi- bility.) The choices of films in Elena’s Theodorakopoulos’ book are all the work of interesting directors—some better than others, but the quality is, for the most part, high. The writ- ers for all these film scripts are generally outstanding. Good photography also seems to be a given. As we are told in the conclusion, “Whatever the story, spectacle is never far from Rome.” The key to assessing these treatments lies in the interpreta- tion of the portrayal of violence. Are we, the audience, ad- miring it? Calling for it, as we call for it in films by Quentin Tarentino, beginning with Reservoir Dogs (1992), or the se- ries called Saw, the seventh version (2010) now in 3-d?

  • Gene Autry and the Phantom Empire Gene Autry and the Phantom Empire (1935): the Cowboy in the Wired West of the Future Ron Briley
    Briley: Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire (1935): The Cowboy in the Wired West of the Future Ron Briley 44 ProducedGene by The Autry Berkeley attempts Electronic to control Press,a Muranian 2010 robot while being stalked by rebel forces. 1 Used by permission of the Autry Qualified Interest Trust and the Autry Foundation Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 10 [2010], Iss. 1, Art. 5 Gene Autry and The Phantom Empire (1935): The Cowboy in the Wired West of the Future In 1935, budding cowboy singing star Gene Ron Briley Autry appeared in the Mascot Pictures serial The Phantom Empire. The film offers a blending of the Western and science fiction genres, and Autry employs such modern devices as aircraft, radio, television, and even laser rays to protect Radio Ranch from the predatory designs of evil scientists and business interests seeking to exploit the radium deposits found in the subterranean city of Murania, located below the ranch. Autry is able to save the ranch from these threats, both alien and domestic, by completing his scheduled radio broadcasts. The premise of the film is that 45 the Western environment may only be preserved through an adaptation to modernism, which will reduce regional isolationism and ensure the overall survival of the American West. Thus, as the protagonist of The Phantom Empire portraying himself, Autry appears as somewhat of a New Deal cowboy protecting the common people of 1 the West from greedy outside business interests. In his post World War II career as an entertainer and entrepreneur, Autry maintained the Hollywood cowboy image he had successfully cultivated throughout the 1930s.
