He stood tall in the saddle and was always ready to rumble. He could also grow a nice thick wire moustache like Zachary Scott and Lee Van Cleef if called upon. What are your favourite memories of Rory Calhoun?  Thanks! |

I know I'm supposed to like him in the westerns, and I do, especially River of No Return and Way of a Gaucho. But one of my favorites is his unlikely role in How to Marry a Millionaire. Interesting bit of casting, that. 'How To Marry A Millionaire' co-stars Rory Calhoun and Cameron Mitchell appeared together that same year in the western 'Powder River' (1953). |

Honestly this is all I've seen of Rory Calhoun.

Interesting thread. I always thought he was quite good as Darios in Colossus of Rhodes. It's a very fun film.

Interesting thread. I always thought he was quite good as Darios in Colossus of Rhodes. It's a very fun film. That was a good one. Rory Calhoun movies were in the theaters when I was growing up. He was near ubiquitous in the early Sixties, whether on the big screen or the little one, in his western TV series The Texan or Saturday Night At The Movies. I remember him on the big screen in Marco Polo and the small budget Korean war film The Young And The Brave. He had a kind of bad boy background, like Robert Mitchum, never made it to the top but did pretty well for himself all the same. If I have a favorite memory of Rory Calhoun it would be his performance in River Of No Return, as an urbane bad guy to Robert Mitchum's rugged good guy. He managed to be charming and yet dangerous in that one, but never truly mean, just greedy  . |
