Go West (1925): Keaton & His Cow
4 Star Films Posted by 4 Star Film Fan on Mar 11, 2021
“Go West Young Man. Go West.” – Horace Greeley I had to refresh my memory on Horace Greeley because he’s as much a mythic figure — supreme champion of manifest destiny — as he is a mere historical figure. During the mid-19th century, he was a sometime political st read more
Bill and Carole go west, costumed...but who's with them?
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Apr 23, 2020
As actors, Carole Lombard and William Powell knew the power of costumes, and took advantage of it at parties, both while married and afterwards. Take this pic of them above at a Kay Francis-hosted event in the fall of 1933, for instance, less than two months after their divorce. Or these photos from read more
Go West, if you Mae, with this auction

Carole Lombard is pictured on the Paramount lot in the mid-1930s...but had it not been for the actress below, the studio's fortunes -- and hers -- might have been considerably different.Is it an overstatement to say Mae West saved Paramount? Perhaps, but it's no doubt that her films, released at the read more
Bob and Fay, part 2: Wray and Riskin go West(wood)
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Mar 7, 2019
Of late, it may seem as if this Carole Lombard site has been hijacked by Fay Wray and Robert Riskin. If so, we're willing accomplices, since their daughter, Victoria Riskin, recently released a well-reviewed biography of her actress mother and screenwriter father.Tuesday night, I met Victoria at a W read more

To celebrate and share this musical love, here is my weekly feature about musicals. This week’s musical: Go West, Young Lady (1941) read more
Go West, Eddie Albert!

Eddie Albert as Daniel Bone.
I fully expected The Dude Goes West (1948) to be a knock-off of Bob Hope's Paleface movies. To my surprise, it turned to be a bright, original Western comedy that opts for clever humor instead of broad gags.

Go west, bad Carole
Carole & Co. Posted by carole_and_co on Nov 16, 2017
"The Arizona Kid" (1930) has a rather unusual spot in the Carole Lombard oeuvre. Let us explain why:* It's the only surviving film, and her lone talkie, from Fox Studios, where she toiled as a starlet for several silents in 1925 before an auto accident sidelined her and led Fox to decline to renew h read more

In 1914, six-year-old Jane Alice Peters (whom the world would eventually come to know as Carole Lombard) moved to Los Angeles with her mother Elizabeth and older brothers Frederic and Stuart. In 2014, this writer is hoping to do likewise.The centenary is merely a coincidence; I am at the stage of my read more
Classic Films in Focus: GO WEST (1925)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jun 18, 2013
Although it’s set in its own modern day, Go West (1925) provides Buster Keaton with the opportunity to exploit the comic possibilities of Western staples like cattle drives, cowboy life, and the cultural conflict between urban and rural perspectives. These elements give the silent comedy its u read more

Buster Keaton in Go West Attention all you Blu-ray owners (of whom I’m becoming increasingly envious, by the way) Kino is all set to release Buster Keaton’s Go West and Battling Butler on Blu-ray on September 27. Both of these Keaton gems have had some restoration work, new scores, and read more
Review: Kino Classics' "Go West" & "Battling Butler"
Curtains Posted by Janelle Vreeland on Sep 14, 2011
It wasn't until just before his death in 1966 that Buster Keaton began to receive the attention and respect he deserved as the genius of silent film that he was. Unlike some of his contemporaries, time has been kind to Keaton and his work. Most of his films have survived the nitrate-fueled fires tha read more

MacGuffin Movies Posted by RBuccicone on Feb 17, 2011
Go West (1940) Still working my way through a stockpile of Marx Brothers movie recordings, Go West was my most recent endeavor. Coming off Horse Feathers, however, I was a bit let down by this one. Unlike the earlier, college-based comedy, Go West lacked the extensive verbal repartee and cleve read more
