Alias Jesse James
Film Bob Hope stars in yet another western spoof, this time playing an incompetent insurance salesman determined to retrieve the policy he unwittingly sold to outlaw Jesse James (Wendell Corey). Hope provides the jokes, while Rhonda Fleming supplies the pulchritude. The best moments are in the finale, though, when a host of cowboy stars (Roy Rogers, James Garner, Fess Parker) protect Bob from the killers.

The Last Hunt
Film Robert Taylor plays against his heroic, matinée idol image as a crazed, racist buffalo hunter who slaughters the animals, the tribesmen and anything else that comes close in an early "anti-western". Stewart Granger is another hunter, not quite in Taylor's league, who finally becomes disillusioned and steals pretty native American woman Debra Paget away from his partner. This remains a tough, unsentimental movie, with muscular direction from Richard Brooks who achieves much authenticity by staging the action in Custer State Park, South Dakota, during the annual cull of the buffalo herd.
