Ride Lonesome
James Coburn made his film debut as a naive gunslinger in one the finest of Budd Boetticher’s laconic series of sparsely stylish low-budget Randolph Scott Westerns, shot mostly in and around Lone Pine, California. Burt Kennedy’s ironic script has Scott playing another vengeful loner, this time a bounty hunter trying to take Lee Van Cleef’s outlaw brother, James Best, to face justice in Santa Cruz. The Ranown series, as it’s called, was little noted in its day, but over time has come to represent the apex of the B western.
