Movie Legends - Randolph Scott

[LivingMindfully1975]

He was Cary Grant's lover.......seriously!

[Featureman]

Randolph Scott and John Wayne and Tom Mix each looked so genuine in the saddle. Randolph was great in his movies.

What beautiful music to go with this tribute - what is the piece? Is it available, somewhere, as a mp3 downlaod?

[basilnelson]

@carossi54 The music is 'Precious Memories' play by Floyd Cramer. You could perhaps try Amazon.

[010bobby]

i always admire Randolp Scott especially his westerns...they are not hookey like the rest...he stood tall in the saddle and what i perceived as a "cowboy" should be...

[MrJMontrose]

Thanks - a fav of mine. See yah on the open plain someday Randy.

Randolf Scott was my biggest hero, growing up in the 50's and 60's. He was one of a kind. JB

[Starjammer74]

No discussion of Randolph Scott is complete without mention of his final -- and one of his finest -- roles, as Gil in Sam Peckinpah's 1962 classic "Ride The High Country." Starring alongside fellow legend Joel McCrea, this movie illustrates a dignity and strength of character in its two leading men that is sadly all-but-nonexistent in today's world of cookie cutter blockbusters. A truly beautiful film.

Dear Basil, I keep following your fabulous works on YT and here I discovered amazing tribute to Randolph Scott, whom I really like a lot.

He was very handsome man and firstly catched my eye in the movies "The Spoilers" and "Pittsburgh" with John Wayne and Marlene Dietrich. He was also great with the great Cary Grant in "My Favorite Wife".

So far I haven't seen any of his Vesterns, but I defenitely should!

Very interesting, beautiful face and as always, great choice of pictures, dear Baz!

[basilnelson]

@irinagarbo Nice to hear from you Irina and you are welcome anytime! Yes, Randolph Scott's early films were quite different from his Westerns. After 1950 all his films were Westerns playing tough solid characters and he became one of the leading actors of this genre. BAZ

I shook Mr. Scotts hand in 1954 in Springfield Missouri. He was there for a Premier of his latest Western. In it his charactor rides a bull in a rodeo. I asked him if it was him on the Bull. He smiled and said, "No son, they wont let me do that anymore." I remember that even though a young boy, he impressed me as a handsome man. Ah youth, it passes so fast!

[SandLuvsCorps]

Thank you! To this day Randolph Scott still mesmerizes me. One of my favoritesis: The Tall T. I've walked every inch of the Alabama Hills. Stood where he filmed The Tall T among others. Kind of got lost in my thoughts, pictured Randy standing there beside me.

Again, thank you

[mrmanrules]

i think margaret mitchell was right , randolph should of played ashley wilkes.

[melollylolly]

to lowellgrippo....i too am a native north carolinian; and the next time i go home to visit; i am definitely going to pay a visit to his gravesite......

[010bobby]

@melollylolly .....where is he from in North Carolina??

[Edivaldo724]

We cannot speak in Western if doesn't speak of Randy Scott. Randolph Scott is intimately linked to the Western... The decade of 50 was the golden era of the Western. On this decade Randy Scott was the actor that more starring Westerns. In total of 27 Westerns. The best were the ones directed by Bud Boetticher. Seven Men From Now and Tall T are best...

[frankthetank112244]

I always admired this noble character hero.

[lowellgrippo]

Though Scott was born in Virginia, (his mother was visiting relatives there), he always considered himself a North Carolinian. He is buried in Elmwood Cemetary in Charlotte. A few years back, my wife and I stopped by to see his grave. It was a somewhat humbling experience to see first hand the grave of the greatest cowboy star to ever grace the screen. He will live on for generations in the 200 films he made. As far as I'm concerned, Ben Brigade still rides lonsome!

[songspiritUSA]

Virginian Randolph Scott - he should have played Robert E. Lee - he could have done the man justice.

[JSStroup1]

Thank you for the tribute, it was so great!

[frostypo]

The Last of the Mohicans. After seeing the movie, I rented the book from the library. No one else can ever portray "Hawkeye" for me

[conway177]

thanks for this, I grew up on randolph scott movies, he was my first hero, and no one else has ever come close.

[grannydyess]

handsome and a great actor. my favorite is ride lonesome and the tall t.

[westphillybob]

He was quite the gentleman in his movies, always had class,felt like he was right out of the old south. This is a great tribute you put together. My favorite is Western Union.

[niceguy63073]

Randolph Scott was in some great Westerns! I just saw "Western Union" recently and loved it!

[twerpy7]

Many thanks for compiling this wonderful tribute to Randolph Scott.

As a boy I loved going to Randolph Scott movies. Brings back happier times.

[beeba77]

I'm surprised at the low count of views to this video. Everything about the video is excellent! I' m sending it onward to my friends to enhance their day. Beautiful job--And thank you!

[vt32943]

Randolph Scott starred in dramas, comedies, war and musical films. His most enduring image is that of the tall-in-the-saddle, western hero, he displayed an easy going charm and courtly southern draw.

Trivia: Randolph Scott rode a beautiful blonde sorrel horse named "Stardust".

Baz, Love the music! Floyd Cramer was the best! Fondly, Hedda

[lowellgrippo]

A very nice tribute to him! Thanks for all your hard work! My two favourite Randolph Scott quotes, (and I'm paraphrasing) are: "There are some things a man can't ride around!" The other is: "Where I come from, we don't celebrate doing what's right!" My favourite Randolph Scott pictures: "The Tall T." and "Seven Men From Now." My daughter is seven years old and loves these films too! When you talk of the old time Hollywood cowboys, Randolph Scott stands alone at the very top in my book!

[Gaotview]

I loved the ending to that movie with Maureen O'Sullivan (is that the right Maureen?) when he puts his arm around her shoulder as they walk off saying, after killing three guys, "Now stop that. It's going to be a beautiful day."

[MOGGS1942]

I really love this man.I was a regular cinema

goer as a small boy,and the highlight of the week was a Randolph Scott movie.

He always seemed to get the girl,and looking at these images,I can see why.

[misspaddylee]

Nicely done. I play a little game trying to guess as many of the movies as I can. The world's a better place when I can kick back and enjoy a Randolph Scott movie.

[mrgbennet]

It certainly does suit the subject.

I agree with the 2elvislovers - An excellent tribute. Thank you for your contribution to the world of art.

[mrgbennet]

Randolph was the greatest American, Hollywood movie star and cowboy who ever lived. Noone comes close.

[aatef1981]

@mrgbennet no no not that much ,where wayne and stewart,cooper ,etc.....

[2elvislovers]

He was a really great actor! wonderful tribute:)
