The 1960s ushered in the beginning of the death knell for the <\/b>Hollywood Western Movie. <\/b>You had to blame TV really.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the UK we only had two channels in 1960 but both were awash with the likes of Wagon Train, Bronco, Cheyenne, Sugarfoot, Rawhide, Bonanza, The Lone Ranger, Laramie, The Range Rider, Boots and Saddles \u2013 the list goes on forever.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hollywood had to up its game to beat the threat of television but in the end, it was a one-sided battle, and by the end of the decade, the days of the Hollywood cowboy genre were well and truly numbered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Of course, I didn\u2019t know that at the time. I just tried to catch every Western going from the age of eight onwards, so here\u2019s another trip down memory lane as I review ten of the most memorable horse operas I saw in the 1960s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Before I start, for those of you looking for reviews of any of the Sergio Leone Dollar trilogy movies, I\u2019m keeping my powder dry on that subject for a future article on the Westerns of Clint Eastwood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
