Description: Seven [7] Men from Now (Original screenplay for the 1956 film) Author: Budd Boetticher (director); Burt Kennedy (screenwriter); Randolph Scott, Gail Russell, Lee Marvin (starring) Title: Seven [7] Men from Now (Original screenplay for the 1956 film) Publication: Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers, 1955 Description: Draft script for the 1956 revisionist Western. Near the end of Randolph Scott's career, producer Harry Brown, Scott, and director Budd Boetticher began work on a series of intelligent films that would combine Scott's minimalist acting style with Boetticher's lean approach to filmmaking. The result was a series of films today referred to as the "Ranown" cycle, a rich canon that formed a strong stylistic whole. Boetticher's approach to storytelling was traditional in the sense that it involved traditional Western characters, but revisionist in that his protagonist invariably worked alone, and sought his own brand of morality rather than one established by tradition, government, and family. Apart from ardent fans of Westerns, these films went unrecognized by most until Martin Scorsese made a case for them in his 1995 BFI documentary, "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies."
