The Ranown Cycle Westerns Collection

The Ranown Cycle of Westerns is the designation critics have awarded to a remarkable series of low-budget Westerns from the late Fifties, starring Randolph Scott and directed by Budd Boetticher. The Ranown films have gained in critical popularity over the years and the Criterion Collection has recently (2023) released the Ranown Westerns boxset bringing together five of the films. Each film within the collection boasts a brisk runtime, a breezily melodic score and a rising tension that pays off with an explosive conclusion.
