BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: This collection features three rousing westerns starring American hero Audie Murphy:

WALK THE PROUD LAND (1956) – His Faith Built a Fortress in a Wilderness of Hate! Audie Murphy (Posse from Hell), the most highly decorated soldier in U.S. history, aptly portrays a “very special hero and the central figure in one of the most interesting stories of the American frontier” (The Hollywood Reporter). Appointed as an Apache Agent in 1874 by the Department of the Interior at the age of 23, John Philip Clum (Murphy) is sent to a reservation in San Carlos, Arizona, to take over the Army’s position. After trying to empower and teach self-governing principles to the Apaches, he is faced with opposition not only from the Native Americans but also from the men in charge of the Army troops. Helmed by Murphy’s frequent director Jesse Hibbs (To Hell and Back, Ride a Crooked Trail) in gorgeous Technicolor and CinemaScope; and with a cast featuring the legend Anne Bancroft (The Restless Breed) as Clum’s housekeeper and ally, Pat Crowley (The Square Jungle) as his wary new bride, and Jay Silverheels (The Lone Ranger) as the great Geronimo.

SEVEN WAYS FROM SUNDOWN (1960) – He stalked him...fought him...befriended him...but in the end he knew he’d have to kill him! Audie Murphy (Hell Bent for Leather) is Seven Jones, a Texas Ranger so green he doesn’t even know how to use a six-shooter, and his first assignment is to accompany the veteran Sergeant Hennessey (John McIntire, Apache) on a mission to capture the notorious gunslinger Jim Flood (Barry Sullivan, Forty Guns). Despite his inexperience Jones manages to capture Flood—and the two form an unlikely friendship as they encounter vicious bounty hunters and vengeful locals on the rugged journey to the jailhouse. This whip-smart western written by Clair Huffaker (Posse from Hell) has some surprises from the cunning Flood that will push the newfound skills of Jones to their limits. Directed in blazing color by Harry Keller (Quantez) and featuring Venetia Stevenson (Day of the Outlaw) and Kenneth Tobey (Gunfight at the O.K. Corral).

BULLET FOR A BADMAN (1964) – He had to kill or be killed . . . as he fought the deadliest duel in frontier history! Once a Texas Ranger, now a hunted killer, Sam Ward (Darren McGavin, TV’s Kolchak: The Night Stalker) is on a warpath for vengeance and he has his ex-partner Logan Keliher (Audie Murphy, No Name on the Bullet) dead in his sights. Married to Ward’s ex-wife Susan (Beverley Owen, TV’s The Munsters) and stepfather to his son, Keliher is a man of honor—a retired ranger, forced to face off against his former brother-in-arms. But when the two men are attacked by Apaches, they must join together to survive against incredible odds. Bullet for a Badman is a terrific tale of gritty frontier redemption where friends can turn deadly enemies in the wink of an eye and the quick-draw of a six-gun. Directed by R.G. Springsteen (Showdown) and co-starring Ruta Lee (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), Skip Homeier (The Tall T), George Tobias (Rawhide) and Alan Hale Jr. (Destry).

New on Blu-ray: AUDIE MURPHY COLLECTION II (Sierra, Kansas Raiders, Destry)

BUY FROM AMAZON

Product Description: This collection features three western 1950s classics starring screen legend Audie Murphy:

SIERRA (1950) – Adventure… Raging to the Very Peaks of Excitement! Ring Hassard (Audie Murphy, Ride a Crooked Trail) and his father Jeff (Dean Jagger, Rawhide) live in a hidden mountain valley where they capture and tame wild horses. When Ring comes to the rescue of Riley Martin (Wanda Hendrix, Prince of Foxes), a lawyer who has lost her way on the trail, it leads to a romance between them—but also opens an investigation into Jeff’s shadowy past. Even more trouble comes when they encounter a gang of horse thieves led by the dastardly Big Matt Rango (Richard Rober, Jet Pilot). Directed by Alfred E. Green (Four Faces West) in dazzling Technicolor, Sierra features a villainous early role for Tony Curtis (Son of Ali Baba) and a jolly performance by Burl Ives (The Big Country), who performs several frontier ballads. And Hendrix, who was married to Murphy at the time, makes a fierce and fetching heroine.

KANSAS RAIDERS (1950) – The Furious, Fighting Story of Quantrill’s Guerrillas! During the Civil War, young Jesse James (Audie Murphy, The Duel at Silver Creek), his brother Frank (Richard Long, The Stranger) and their soon-to-be-legendary gang ride into Kansas on the trail of Colonel William Quantrill (Brian Donlevy, Canyon Passage). Seeking revenge against the Union, Jesse wants to join Quantrill’s Raiders, who are plotting to claim Kansas for the Confederacy. The more time Jesse spends with Quantrill, however, the more he realizes that the colonel isn’t a hero fighting for the South, but a bushwhacking madman. Directed by Ray Enright (The Spoilers), Kansas Raiders blazes with bold Technicolor and brilliant supporting performances by Marguerite Chapman (The Amazing Transparent Man), Scott Brady (Undertow), Tony Curtis (Flesh and Fury), Richard Arlen (Thunderbolt), James Best (Seminole) and Dewey Martin (The Big Sky).

DESTRY (1954) – The Classic Story of the West! Ruthless gambler Decker (Lyle Bettger, All I Desire) and his cronies are causing unrest in the sleepy frontier town of Restful. After the local sheriff dies under mysterious circumstances, Decker arranges to have the town drunk (Thomas Mitchell, Stagecoach) appointed sheriff, thinking he will be easily controlled. But the new sheriff sends for Tom Destry (Audie Murphy, No Name on the Bullet), son of a famous two-fisted lawman, to be his deputy. When Tom arrives, he isn’t exactly the swaggering hero the sheriff had in mind. In fact, Destry doesn’t even carry a gun. But the new deputy’s mild exterior masks a wild determination to see justice done, as Decker and the other locals soon discover. Directed by George Marshall (When the Daltons Rode), Destry is a glorious Technicolor retelling of Marshall’s own 1939 gem, Destry Rides Again, starring Marlene Dietrich and James Stewart.

As the big fight approaches, however, he begins to have second thoughts. Directed by Jesse Hibbs (Ride a Crooked Trail), World in My Corner is a bang-up drama with a hard-hitting performance by Murphy.

From Don Siegel, the legendary director of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Lineup, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Dirty Harry, Charley Varrick and The Shootist, comes this two-fisted, action-packed western, starring celebrated war hero turned movie star Audie Murphy (Night Passage).

After losing the use of his famed trigger finger in a shootout, Lightning deputizes the sharp-shooting Silver Kid (Murphy), whose own father was killed by the gang, to help bring the outlaws to justice.

This scheme goes dangerously awry when Tessa (Gia Scala, The Price of Fear), a former flame from New Orleans, shows up in town and is persuaded to pose as his wife. The couple's masquerade is further complicated by the arrival of Sam Teeler (Henry Silva, Code of Silence), Maybe's rival in crime, who plans to rob the bank with his own gang of outlaws. A fast-paced action-adventure full of unexpected plot twists, Ride a Crooked Trail also displays a surprisingly light comic flair which is capped by Walter Matthau's delightful, rambunctious performance as the wily Judge Kyle.
