ONE EYED JACKS
Not only did Marlon Brando star in this compelling and fascinating 1961 Western, but it is also the legendary actor's only directorial effort. In the old West of 1880, Kid Rio (Marlon Brando) and his partner "Dad" Longworth (Karl Malden) are discovered robbing a bank on the Mexican border. Longworth abandons the young man and escapes with the loot, leaving Rio to be captured and jailed. After five long years, an unrepentant Rio is released and, with a new gang, plans a bank robbery in the town of Monterey. However, Rio is surprised to find that Longworth has since become a respectable sheriff in the California town. Though always living in fear of Rio's return, the older man has married and become stepfather to the woman's grown daughter Louisa (Pina Pellicer). Rio feigns forgiveness, but all the while plots revenge against his double-crossing former partner. More complications arise when Rio falls in love with the beautiful Louisa. The emotional and power struggles begin to turn as Longworth suspects Rio's true motives!
HOT LEAD
This is two episodes of the TV series "The Virginian" edited together - CHARLES BRONSON.
DEADLY COMPANIONS
The former Union army sergeant Yellowleg played by Brian Keith is out to track down a Rebel deserter named Turk (played by Chill Willis). Before he settles the score with Turk, he needs his and his lowbrow buddy's help robbing a bank. When the robbery goes awry, the young son of a dancehall girl (played by Maureen O'Hara) is killed. Guilt-stricken, Yellowleg pledges to take the young woman to bury her son next to his father's gravesite.
PROUD REBEL
Proud Rebel Alan Ladd doggedly wanders the land looking for a doctor who can cure his mute son.
The warmth of a father's love and faith, the devotion of a boy for a dog, the understanding of a strong woman, portrayed by 2-time Academy Award winning actress Olivia de Havilland, along with Academy Aware winning director Michael Curtiz, combine to make Proud Rebel one of the most dramatic and emotional Westerns in film history
CRY BLOOD APACHE
A gang of gold-hungry cowboys slaughters a small band of Apaches. During the massacre, an Indian woman promises to lead them to a hidden gold mine if they will spare her life.
As they journey to the mine, they are pursued by the only surviving Apache warrior. They soon discover that Apache revenge is painful, slow and fatal!
