Ben Johnson
Ben Johnson is one of the should-have-been stories of the Western genre.His laconic, easy going charm, coupled with astonishing horse riding skills,makes him stand out in the John Wayne buddy school.He always seemed to be half-smiling wryly at productions he was in, as if to say,"Yup;this ain't nuthin' but my film"
Always watchable, a Western gentleman of the 'yes ma'am' type,Johnson should have been king of the Westerns; he was eased out by giants of the Wayne calibre.
