Bob Boze Bells Big Bad Book of Bad Diary Entries. November 1. 0, 2. Contrary to popular belief, when it comes to authenticity in Westerns, Hollywood gets it right more often than they get credit for. That is the premise of a big feature we are preparing for an upcoming issue of True West magazine. Here is a sneak peek at some of the contenders Doc Holliday Dennis Quaid and Big Nose Kate Isabella Rossellini   in Wyatt Earp 1. Quaid is fantastic as a lunger and although Val Kilmer gets all the raves for his work in Tombstone, Quaid captured the look of the emaciated Doc perfectly. Heres another photo from the set of Wyatt Earp. Dennis Quaid as The Man In Gray   A few Westerns we are celebrating were small at the box office but played really big, at least to those of us who like and appreciate the authentic, nitty gritty Old West. Culpepper Cattle Co. There are sleepers in our coverage, films that were so authentic looking, stills from the movie often end up in history books. The Covered Wagon 1. One of the advantages to the older films, like The Covered Wagon, above, is that the clothing, props and wagons were still around mere decades after the passing of the Old West and in many cases, still being usedI have seen the above photo and this next one, below, being passed off as historic photos, thats how good the authenticity is in these scenes. Brigham Young 1. It doesnt matter how accurate a story is if you cant keep awake through it. Henry Parke   Another early film pulled out all the stops to create a sprawling Old West town in what turned out to be the largest Western town set in American film history. Cimarron 1. Of course, the Western that I absolutely love on many levels is, in many ways, considered to be an odd one. Mc. Cabe Mrs. Miller 1. The authenticity of the town being built as the movie opens and progresses is quite authentic, with walls and roofs unfinished, and boards hanging out. I love it we see Mc. Cabe Warren Beatty sewing his shirt. Sewing When is the last time you saw Gene, or Hoppy, or the Duke for that matter, sewing Then, in the main saloon people are talking over each other and you can see their breath Its that cold. In fact, what I really love about Mc. Cabe is the weather, the snow, the freezing conditions and heavy overcoats. I think, for my money, its the most authentic weather in a Western, ever Some Westerns get dinged for having bad hats and incorrect weapons for the times they are portraying, but then the geography is dead on. Shane 1. Some of the early Westerns dont get credit for trying to be authentic, but here is another film that tried to get it right. Great look, at least in this still photo The Gunfighter Gregory Peck   And then there are Westerns that failed on so many levels but the look of one of the main actors is just about perfect Wild Bill Jeff Bridges   Of course, we havent even mentioned the film that our readers considered the most authentic of all, and, well, its not a secret, but I think you know which one that is going to be. Heres a hint Heroes are not giant statues framed against a red sky. They are people who say This is my community, and it is my responsibility to make it better. Studs Terkel. Drawing for beginners.
