Ep. 63: Winchester ’73 or ‘Mann of the West’

Zach enlists podcaster Darrel Lantz (Buck Benny OTR Podcast) to help him track down the trail of a “One of A Thousand” rifle and all those who had a claim to it as they saddle up for a deep dive into Anthony Mann’s 1950 Western Classic, ‘Winchester ’73’.

Store your arms at the door of Wyatt Earp and be nice and friendly like while you listen to these two cowhands discuss the wild origins of the project, become fascinated with the history of Anthony Mann and his prior works, revel in how those prior works influenced his approach to the western, marvel at the films every angle from camera to performance, reckon with more than one troubling issue of the past, become aghast at the deal Jimmy Stewart made to make the picture, and find themselves cheery over the many ways in which the film has influenced all kinds of film ventures seen today.

PLUS: Jimmy Stewart in ‘A Christmas Story’.
