The director Budd Boetticher knew something about bullfighting, and he made two great movies on the subject in the nineteen-fifties, “The Bullfighter and the Lady” and “The Magnificent Matador” (they’re not on DVD). John Wayne, who produced the first, later recruited Boetticher for the Western “Seven Men from Now” (which I discuss in this clip), the first of Boetticher’s seven remarkable collaborations with the actor Randolph Scott. I emphasize the connection between Boetticher’s direction and his editing, his imaginative deployment of Scott’s stolid demeanor, and his exceptionally generous apportionment of screen time to the villain, played by Lee Marvin. It turns out that Boetticher himself discusses these very matters in a set of interviews with Sean Axmaker. The discussion is frank and nuanced; Boetticher saw much, judged sharply, knew where he stood, and told it all well. If there’s an entire book of interviews with him, it would make for a treasure trove of cinematic insight and Hollywood lore. (There is, apparently, an autobiography, which is out of print and rare.)
