cigarjoe Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Been watching Death Rides A Horse, there is a great little scene at the card game before John Phillip Law shoots Cavanaugh where the camera looks like its sitting in the middle of the card table as it pans all the way around the players. We get great close ups of all the players and a couple of "dance hall girls/ladies". Now thought it is done very well you can just barely notice the cuts. This is a great example of the artistry that went into these films none the less, you didn't see any thing close in a contemporary American Western. Here, they were just turning out B material with plug in actors, the only standouts where the ones with good story lines and the great ones had both the story lines and some above average cinematography, but even so most was not as good as even this little stylistic piece of Death Rides A Horse.
