Randalph Scott was star of many westerns movies in '50s and along with James Stewart revitalized that genre before the John Wayne made westerns fashionable.
As oppose to [bigger than life] Wayne film persona, Scott's charactor is very low keyed, vulnerable and down to earth. And at same time smart and witty. Many of his films are called "B" westerns, but they offer great entertainment value.
Warner studios has released some Scotts better westerns on DVD as triple pack features for under $10 and picture quality is top notch with great quality transfer. Although the movies are in 4:3 ratio, the colors are vivid and pop on screen. Picked this up for $5 :)
