Movies starring Hank Worden

The Big Sky (1952)

140 mins     Adventure , Western      

"The Big Sky" has a lot of big names attached to it, it is directed by Howard Hawks, it stars Kirk Douglas, Arthur Hunnicutt and Hank Worden and even the story is a big story a big adventure. But here is the thing Howard Hawk...

The Indian Fighter (1955)

88 mins     Western      

There is a scene in "The Indian Fighter" where having taken a shine to Onahti Johnny forces himself on her to steal a kiss. Now not only would that scene cause some unrest if it was put in a movie these days but I remember ot...

Forty Guns (1957)

79 mins     Drama, Western      

Watching "Forty Guns" some 50 years after it was released it's impossible to ignore that there is a lot of cliche going on, lawman rides into town and ends up sorting out the bad guys who are starting to ruin things. But at t...

Dragoon Wells Massacre (1957) - A prison wagon, a stage coach and an Indian trader all find themselves under attack from warring Indians...

The Buckskin Lady (1957)

66 mins     Western

"The Horse Soldiers" is a nicely made movie with some nice moments of action and a simmering tension between John Wayne and William Holden as Col. John Marlowe and Maj. Henry Kendall and to be honest you expect nothing less f...

The Alamo (1960)

167 mins     Action , Western      

John Wayne's "The Alamo" is what I refer to as a cheeky western, an adventure movie which takes its lead from the history books but embellishes the fact with fiction to create a movie which blends action, with drama and a tou...

Big Jake (1971)

110 mins     Western      

Whilst not John Wayne's last western there is something about "Big Jake" which feels like a last hoorah, as if Wayne himself felt that he wouldn't make many more westerns and so do one more with the old gang. By the old gang ...

Every Which Way But Loose (1978)

110 mins     Action , Comedy      

Even die hard fans of Clint Eastwood will say some of his movies were really not that good and one of those is "Every Which Way But Loose". Now before you say what, let me explain as whilst "Every Which Way But Loose" is ente...
