The Top 10 Glenn Ford Westerns

Glenn Ford (1916-2006) made 27 westerns during his long film career. Here are those we considered the best.
Cowboy

  • COWBOY (1958) Jack Lemmon, Brian Donlevy, Richard Jaeckel. Director Delmer Daves. One of the great trail drive movies of all time.
  • 3:10 TO YUMA (1957) Van Heflin, Felicia Farr, Richard Jaeckel. Director Delmer Daves. The real one, written by Elmore Leonard. Two guys in a hotel room – great psychodrama.
  • THE ROUNDERS (1965) Henry Fonda, Chill Wills, Edgar Buchanan, Sue Ane Langdon, Denver Pyle. Great western comedy. Ford and Fonda are great together.
  • JUBAL (1956) Ernest Borgnine, Rod Steiger, Valerie French, Noah Beery Jr., Charles Bronson, Richard Jaeckel. Director Delmer Daves.
  • FASTEST GUN ALIVE (1956) Broderick Crawford, Jeanne Craine, Russ Tamblyn, John Dehner. Director Russell Rouse.

Where, oh Where has our Facebook Gone?

We have been notified that Voices of the West has had its Facebook account permanently disabled.

Why?

We don’t know. FB never is straight with its customers.

All the company says is there’s been a violation of its Terms & Conditions–but which one(s) is never clear.

We don’t even have the opportunity to go to FB “court” to learn more or even appeal their decision. Just “you’re outta here,” and don’t let the barn door hit you on the backside on your way out.

Thanks to all of our former FB friends for your support. And, to FB and META–go pound sand.
