TCM is showcasing Woody Strode today and starting at 8 PM EST are two of his better roles in:
Spartacus.
Sgt. Rutledge.
If you have not seen Sgt Rutledge, its a great John Ford western and courtroom drama combined. Its well worth your time.

I’m watching it now. I’ve seen it several times before but it is still worth staying up late to watch again. Wonderful scenery of Monument Valley and the San Juan River Valley.

Never really thought about him until I bought a DVD of "Once upon a time in the West' and was watching the version with comments on it. I thought this was just showing various scenes from the movie with a voice over from industry 'experts' I was half way through the movie before I realized it was the entire film with voice over comments. Anyway... Strode is in that first scene with Jack Elam and another guy on the rough train platform when they meet Bronson... "no, you brought two too many"
