Westward Ho, the Wagons! *** (1956, Fess Parker, Kathleen Crowley, Jeff York) – Classic Movie Review 7155
Director William Beaudine’s 1956 Westward Ho, the Wagons! is a Walt Disney Wild West adventure for family consumption that lacks both the kind of vim and grit we expect from Westerns but it is entirely […]

Mohawk * (1956, Scott Brady, Rita Gam, Neville Brand, Ted de Corsia) – Classic Movie Review 3496
Director Kurt Neumann’s 1956 Western adventure is a soppy, risible, penny-pinching little movie with more accent on love tangles than on gun-slinging action. It pushes its luck by re-using extensive archive footage from the outstanding John […]
