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:

—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Fair nymph, if fame or honour were
To be attained with ease,
Then would I come and rest me there,”
