Rise To Fame
Boetticher finally achieved his major breakthrough when he teamed up with actor Randolph Scott, producer Harry Joe Brown and screenwriter Burt Kennedy to produce the seven films (last in 1960) that came to be known as the Ranown Cycle. (The name "Ranown" came from RANdolph Scott and Harry Joe BrOWN.) Even though his films were hailed at the time by some critics, including French critic André Bazin, who praised the first, Seven Men from Now (1956), as an "exemplary Western", they were largely forgotten until a new generation of scholars and critics championed them in the 1970s.
Boetticher's other most important films include The Tall T (1957), Buchanan Rides Alone (1958), Ride Lonesome (1959), and Comanche Station (1960).

Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or fame:
“From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
“The fame of heroes owes little to the extent of their conquests and all to the success of the tributes paid to them.”
—Jean Genet (1910–1986)
