Robert Duvall! Dobe Carey! The Carradines! Western Legends with Walter Hill

Award winning writer director Walter Hill returns to A WORD ON WESTERNS with a fresh take on brothers playing brothers in the classic western "The Long Riders" (1980) and recalls directing the successful and Emmy-winning mini-series with Robert Duvall, "Broken Trail" (2006), the show that changed the way AMC programed the network. How did the Carradine brothers hook up with James and Stacy Keach to portray the Younger-James Gang? Who were the other siblings who also portrayed real life brothers? When did Walter meet John Ford stock company performer Harry Carey, Jr and what was the first film they did together? Remember the knife fight between David Carradine and James Remar in "The Long Riders"? It almost didn't work. Why and whose appearance helped the performers? Find out from Walter as he looks back at two of his most unforgettable works. Recorded April 18, 2017.
