<<Are there any hard-boiled westerns?>>
Luke Short (pseudonym of Frederick Glidden) wrote
westerns with a hard-boiled style. Novels and short stories.
Most of his novels are easy to find at libraries and used
bookstores. Many of his stories can be found scattered in
various anthologies assembled by the Western Writers of
America and others over the years.
A number of films were based on his books, including
the following, which have some Hollywood names we frequently
associate with noir films:
Ramrod (1947), directed by André „e Toth and starring
Joel McCrea and Veronica Lake. Blood on the Moon (1948),
directed by Robert Wise and starring Robert Mitchum, Barbara
Bel Geddes, Robert Preston, Walter Brennan, and Phyllis
Thaxter.
Station West (1948), directed by Sidney Lanfield and starring
Dick Powell, Jane Greer, Raymond Burr, and Agnes
Moorehead.
Vengeance Valley (1951), directed by Richard Thorpe and
starring Burt Lancaster, Robert Walker, Joanne Dru, and Ray
Collins.
Silver City (1951), directed by Byron Haskin and starring
Edmond O'Brien and Yvonne De Carlo.
Ride the Man Down (1952), directed by Joseph Kane and
starring Brian Donlevy.
The Hangman (1959), directed by Michael Curtiz and starring
Robert Talor, Tina Louise, Fess Parker, Jack Lord, and Gene
Evans.
