Visually and aesthetically, Ride Lonesome more than justifies New York Times critic Richard T. Jameson's assessment of the entire Ranown cycle as "the most remarkable convergence of artistic achievement in the history of low-budget moviemaking (rivaled only by Val Lewton's 1940s horror films for RKO)." Shot in a mere seventeen days for under a half-million dollars, Ride Lonesome is a masterpiece of cinematic minimalism, at once epic and austere. Running a tight 73 minutes, Boetticher turns traditional Western tropes into rituals of re-enactment and revenge"--

No Jacket. Albuquerque. 2023. March 2023. University of New Mexico Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780826364616. Reel West. 5 × 7. 43 halftones. 184 pages. paperback. keywords: Film American West Western. DESCRIPTION-Ride Lonesome, the fifth film in the Ranown Cycle, is both the best and most representative of the whole cycle, which has been called the most remarkable convergence of artistic achievement in the history of low-budget moviemaking. Director Bud Boetticher captures the alienation and loneliness of an America faced with the Cold War and the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. Shot in seventeen days for under a half-million dollars, Ride Lonesome is a masterpiece of cinematic minimalism. Veteran screenwriter Kirk Ellis brilliantly unpacks the themes, narrative, visual language, and editing in this seminal film. In Ride Lonesome he not only shows how this one film embodies a turning point for the Western, but he also explores the unique vision and contributions of director Boetticher and his writing partner Burt Kennedy. Ride Lonesome offers fresh insight into the careers of screenwriter/director Burt Kennedy and legendary film auteur Budd Boetticher, as well as a blow-by-blow account of the making of Ride Lonesome, one of the great American films. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Western movies. —W. K. Stratton, author of The Wild Bunch. inventory #42405.
