1955ref. 156909Burbank CA: Warner Brothers 1955. Draft script for the 1956 revisionist Western. Near the end of Randolph Scott's career producer Harry Brown Scott and director Budd Boetticher began work on a series of intelligent films that would combine Scott's minimalist acting style with Boetticher's lean approach to filmmaking.

Boetticher's approach to storytelling was traditional in the sense that it involved traditional Western characters but revisionist in that his protagonist invariably worked alone and sought his own brand of morality rather than one established by tradition government and family. Apart from ardent fans of Westerns these films went unrecognized by most until Martin Scorsese made a case for them in his 1995 BFI documentary "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies."
