DVD Reviews of The Proud Ones
DVD Review: The Proud Ones
Summary: 5 Stars
The Proud Ones is an excellent western which stars Robert Ryan and Jeffery Hunter. Ryan is a small town sheriff and, an one time, shot and killed Hunter's father who was a gunslinger for the saloon owner in another town, at another time. Hunter arrrives in Ryan's town with a trail herd and decides to stay. He is aware that Ryan killed his father. The saloon owner, Middleton, from the other town also arrives in Ryan's town and opens another saloon. He ran a crooked saloon in the other town and will do the same in Ryan's town. Ryan tries to convince Hunter that his father was a killer, while at the same time tries to deal with the saloon owner again. A great movie. Ryan is wounded (grazed by a bullet) in the head and has temporary minutes of loss of sight. I don't want to ruin the ending for any one who wants to purchase and see the movie, but it was a good western.DVD Review: good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A feel good movie classic. My customer satisfaction is at a high. Will buy again.DVD Review: A Memorable Performance by Robert Ryan
Summary: 5 Stars
Robert Ryan was one of Hollywood's finest actors.
He gives one of his more memorable performances in THE PROUD ONES (1956), playing an honest lawman who must deal with a crooked gambling hall owner (Robert Middleton) who has hired some top gunmen to kill him, a corrupt city council and his own deputy (Jeffrey Hunter) who would like to see him dead.
If that isn't enough, Ryan also has received a gunshot wound that leaves him temporarily blinded at the most inopportune moments.
Robert D. Webb directed the tight script by Edmund North and Joseph Petracca. Virginia Mayo, Walter Brennan, Ken Clark and Arthur O'Connell co-star.

DVD Review: Ryan in a rare role
Summary: 3 Stars
The late Robert Ryan rarely played sympathetic characters since he was usually relegated to the vicious, bigoted villain you'd loved to hate. This fine little B-western was an exception. In this film and later in "Lawman", he plays an ageing marshall who is slowly losing his sight and knows his days as a lawman are numbered. He is looking forward to retiring with lady love (a gorgeous Virginia Mayo) but the evil forces of the town won't let him until one day a young man (Jeffrey Hunter) rides into town with thoughts of revenge toward Ryan. How he confronts his dilemna with Hunter and Robert Middleton as an evil saloon owner is intriguing to watch. If you are like me, and am a fan of this greatly under-rated actor--you'll like this little Western. DVD Review: Man who knows his job

Description of The Proud Ones
When a flood of lawless gunmen invades his once peaceful town, Marshal Cass Silver (Ryan) knows it?s up to him to force them out. But the only chance he might have is to gain the help of a gunslinger named Thad (Hunter), who wrongly believes the Marshal is responsible for his father?s death. To save the town, Silver will have to earn the aid, and trust, of a man sworn to send him to his grave!The main draw (and quick draw) of this 1956 Western is the marvelous presence of Robert Ryan in the lead role. This underappreciated actor plays a Kansas marshal with a history of perceived cowardice in his past. Everything comes to a head in a single week: a cattle drive ends in town, bringing shootin' and hollerin'; Ryan's nemesis, a casino-runner played by veteran bad guy Robert Middleton, arrives to soak the suckers; and young hotshot Jeffrey Hunter, whose father was killed by Ryan, arrives with revenge on his mind. Oh, and Ryan himself begins to suffer from blinding headaches. Despite the crowded plot, the results are Fifties Western boilerplate, with few distinguishing features beyond the cast. But the supporting ranks are crowded with essential horse-saga actors: Walter Brennan, Arthur O'Connell, Rodolfo Acosta, and of course the bearded, lizard-eyed Middleton. Virginia Mayo plays Ryan's hotel-keeper ladyfriend. Ace cinematographer Lucien Ballard gets a few good outdoor CinemaScope set-ups into the generally backlot feel of the thing. But the reason to see the film is lanky Robert Ryan, whose compelling mix of neurosis, gentleness, and fury is on full display here. --Robert Horton
