Denver Pyle

Maverick -- A riverboat poker tourney promises a winner-take-all $500,000...and Bret Maverick aims to be the winner who does the taking!

Escape to Witch Mountain -- Two orphans with powers discover the truth about their past.

The central performances of Fred MacMurray as a U.S. Marshal and Robert Vaughn as a psychopathic killer make this an unusual and absorbing Western. MacMurray must prove his charismatic young captive guilty of murder against much opposition.

A judge teeters on the brink of insanity... a town on the edge of revolt. And only one man stands between them in this powerful western featuring two of Hollywood's greatest leading men. Glenn Ford delivers a mesmerizing performance as Owen Devereaux, a sadistic Civil War vet who continues to kill for the joy of it even after he becomes a judge. William Holden is outstanding as Del Stewart, Devereaux's marshal and ex-army pal who tries to restrain the judge's violent nature. When Devereaux's psychotic behavior forces the townspeople to take up arms against him, the former friends are pitted together against each other in a brutal conflict with fatal consequences. The suspense never falters in acclaimed director Henry Levin's tightly woven tale which delves into the devastating psychological effects of war.

With the integrity and depth of an epic, Shenandoah tells the dramatic story of a man caught in a dilemma. James Stewart stars as a Virginia farmer during the Civil War. He refuses to support the Confederacy because he is opposed to slavery, yet he will not support the Union because he is deeply opposed to war. When his son is taken prisoner, Stewart goes to search for the boy. Seeing first-hand the horrors of war, he is at last forced to take his stand.

The past—and the future—close in on a reformed gunslinger. Like Alan Ladd's Shane, Gregory Peck's The Gunfighter and Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, The Lonely Man belongs to that saddlebag full of Westerns about a gunslinger to coming to terms with his infamous past and uncertain future. Jack Palance stars as Jacob Wade, a notorious outlaw trying to ride the trail of respectability. But where Wade goes, his reputation follows. And so does trouble. Fearful citizens are quick to turn him out of their town. Vengeful killers have vowed to stalk him to his grave. And Wade's son (Anthony Perkins), embittered over his father's long absence, cannot quell the pain and hate in his heart. Neville Brand, Lee Van Cleef, Claude Akins and Elisha Cook co-star in this spare, ruggedly entertaining sagebrush saga.

Based on an actual Civil War incident, The Horse Soldiers tells the rousing tale of a troop of Union soldiers who force their way deep into Southern territory to destroy a rebel stronghold at Newton Station. In command is hardbitten Colonel Marlowe (Wayne), a man who is strikingly contrasted by the company's gentle surgeon (Holden) and the beautiful but crafty Southern belle (Constance Towers) who's forced to accompany the Union raiders on perhaps the most harrowing mission in the war.

Paul Newman portrays the frontier hero with gusto and charm in this comedic, high-spirited look at the legendary western adventurer. Co-stars Harvey keitel, Burt Lancaster and Shelley Duvall.

Gambler Maverick aims to win a riverboat poker tourney that promises $500,000 to the winner. But first he must cope with the hangman's noose, a wily Indian chief, outlaws, and more close calls than a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.

But then IT happens! Someone with even greater powers takes over and leads the children - and the audience - into a dazzling and unexpected experience...one that is truly out of this world!
