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:
“Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.”
—Maria Weston Chapman (1806–1885)
“Alas, we are the victims of advertisement. Those who taste the joys and sorrows of fame when they have passed forty, know how to look after themselves. They know what is concealed beneath the flowers, and what the gossip, the calumnies, and the praise are worth. But as for those who win fame when they are twenty, they know nothing, and are caught up in the whirlpool.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
