In 1953, U-I put her in Douglas Sirk’s All I Desire. Her first film was Bend Of The River, followed by Ma And Pa Kettle At The Fair and Francis Goes To West Point (all 1952). Nelson signed a seven-year contract with Universal-International. Soon after, she was crowned Little Miss America. Her family moved to Hollywood when she was four. Thanks to (birthday boy) John Knight for the tip! While packages like this tend to lead to some duplication in your DVD/Blu-Ray collection, they offer up some really good stuff. It’s been on my Want List for quite some time.Īlso in the set are Jacques Tourneur’s Canyon Passage (1946), George Sherman’s Comanche Territory (1950), Douglas Sirk’s Taza, Son Of Cochise (1954), Smoke Signal (1955), Lonely Are The Brave (1962) and The Ride To Hangman’s Tree (1967). Jesse Hibbs’s Rails Into Laramie (1954) is a cool, sadly under-seen 50s Western with a really terrific cast. There are two Audie Murphy pictures, Jesse Hibbs’s Ride Clear Of Diablo (1954) and Gunpoint (1966). Universal’s German “branch” has announced an upcoming nine-movie Blu-Ray set featuring a good, but somewhat random, selection of Westerns - many available on Blu-Ray for the first time.
