Tom Mix was never like this. As illustrated in this scene from Mulholland Drive, you don't have to be big and beefy or holding a weapon to be menacing.
Sixth in a series.
BONUS:
The most delightful use of a Linda Scott song ever.
OK, D:
I've just gone through all 6 in series to date. "The Cowboy" is one of the creepiest characters I have ever seen in cinema (or anywhere for that matter), and on that hook I bit and just finished viewing the other 5.
I'm pondering. Powerful/emotionally shocking scenes all. Intense musical scores. Most creepy/scary/mad. Each unforgettable once you've seen them. Is that the theme?
Please provide clues or another example, but for God's sake, no more of the Cowboy!!
I agree, no more....
I'm a Gunsmoke fan. I've watch Matt, Festus, Doc, Miss Kitty and the rest every Saturday morning for more than 10 years, with very few repeats. Best western drama ever.
I do wish the Marshal would have shown more affection to Miss Kitty though.
