  1. While tumbleweed is iconic in Westerns set in the Americas, the plant is originally from eastern Europe.

    The tumbleweed (or ‘Russian Thistle’) didn’t arrive in North America from Europe until the 1870’s, most likely with shipments of seeds.

  2. #TheThicket is based on a book by #Lansdale! I am unarmed. You think I care? I don't know the original, but there are #films where you know after a few moments that you're going to like them. This looks like one of those. I like #neo #westerns like #WindRiver, etc. #Movie #filmsky #Western

  3. The Hangman (1959) is a slightly odd but very good psychological western with Robert Taylor as a Deputy Marshal who has to bring in a wanted man but he has no idea what the fugitive looks like. Tina Louise could identify the man, but will she?

  4. Audie Murphy made some great westerns. The Duel at Silver Creek (1952) is not one of them. It does however look great and is fun in a movie junk food sort of way. Don Siegel directed so there's plenty of fine action. I enjoyed it.

  5. William Wyler's Hell’s Heroes (1929). Three outlaws in the desert find themselves saddled with a baby. Saving themselves will be hard enough. A visually impressive western. Not a bad movie but much too sentimental for my tastes.
