I never have been a big fan of westerns, but this movie quickly became a favorite! The fact that it is presented from the point-of-view of the "bad" guy, creates an interesting perspective. I do enjoy this movie immensely, and this is partly why. By the end of the film, I found myself sympathizing with the "bad" characters, despite the fact that they were thieves and cheaters. The plot was simple, but didn't need more. I did find some parts of the film unique. This is refreshing in a time when movies are so often alike. If you are looking for a movie that's good fun, and solidly acted, this is the movie for you! Even if you don't like westerns!

Previous rating 4 stars
Going through my bookshelves doing the annual clean up, as you do, I came across my well worn copy of Robbery Under Arms (one of the few novels I will never 'clean out'). I got to thinking, what rating did I give this and did I ever review it. So on here I come, to see a 4 star rating and no review of one of my all time favourite Australian classics. Up it goes to 5 stars, followed by a review.
I have read this story from cover to cover 3 times. It is a slow paced story in its essence. The reason for this being that in order to immerse oneself in the good old Australian way of live before the turn of the 20th Century one must enjoy the bush life. Bush rangers, cattle thieves and of course, those upright and tight citizens of colonial times. The description is unlike that of anything you will read today because being written in 1888 the Australia as we know it did not exist. Hence the slow pace. Life was slow then compared to now. This does not make it boring by any stretch of the imagination.
Based on the Marston family and their progression from the life of farmers to that of highway men, this story craftily intertwines them with Captain Starlight. When published in the newspapers, in installments, Browne (Bolderwood) had characterised Starlight and Co. to a point where the public thought him and them real. This was due to his first hand experience with bush rangers. It is this real life experience that comes through, grabs you and sucks you into the story to such a level that you can vividly picture settings, characters and plot line or you just damn well want to be there!
I am all for this becoming a set text in the classroom once again!

For a story about bushrangers this sure was boring. Also racist and sexist, even for the time period it was written in. I believe at one point the narrator says that women need to be starved like dogs to appreciate what they have. Also apparently women are only capable of experiencing two emotions while men are much more complex. No thanks.

My impression of Robbery Under Arms is one of appreciation that such a book exists. Boldrewood (or Browne, as that was his actual name) captures the setting and spirit of colonial Australia during the middle of the 19th Century, as it happened. The book captures the feeling of that remote colony and his writing captures the dialect of a people that worked apart from the Old World to make Australia their home.
From there, there is a feeling of kinship that grows from the similarities that exist between the history of the American West and those of this then-distant land. This book is filled with cattle, ranchers, horses, towns, cowboys, ranges and mountains. Had the story been set in Oklahoma the spirit these things would have changed very little. But while the actions that drive this book could have been written by Elmore Leonard or Zane Grey, they weren't. This book, through-and-through, is uniquely Australian.
The central theme gives rise to considerations of justice. Does the doling out of punishment that simply fits the crime, regardless of circumstances, truly balance the scales held in the hand of justice? Or are the scales held aloft as a distraction for that other item she holds in her other hand? Society controls punishment and those outside of society have little say in it's application. Thus, mercy is more of a man-made miracle with respect to just punishment and the finger of society forever rests upon the scales.
The tone of the book is truly sincere. It's no spoiler to say that the story is told from the first-person perspective of a condemned man and from his narrative the reader grows to understand this man's path towards his fate. The narration is matter-of-fact and deliberately avoids gimmicks such as mystery, suspense, and over-played action. This approach allows the reader to focus on the acts and circumstances of the characters and to better understand the story of the condemned.

For all his cross doings, Dick Marston will be hanged in a month.
Die--die--yes, die; be strung up like a dog, as they say. I'm blessed if ever I did know of a dog being hanged, though, if it comes to that, a shot or a bait generally makes an end of 'em in this country. Ha, ha! Did I laugh? What a rum thing it is that a man should have a laugh in him when he's only got twenty-nine days more to live--a day for every year of my life.
Dick has ruined many lives besides his own. There is enough adventure in this book for 10 westerns. In addition to the crimes and getaways, Dick often ruminates on his life. His ruminations are an odd mixture of fatalism, regret, and solipsism.

To enjoy this book, read a chapter a week. That's about a pleasant pace. Put it down often and really try to imagine the society sights, the sounds, and even the smells.
Don't rush it, don't obsess, I've cost myself some sweet dreams by slogging it out. Not that that was my original intention, my mind changed after finding the story content contemptibly familiar. I wish the author had written more about music, how that was back 150 years beyond my imagination.
Not the best aussie book I've read, The Amazing Life & Adventures of William Buckley takes that trophy.
A novel in the Social Realist style (I reckon). Ironically, it is less realistic for the effort. Depictions of attitudes are rather expressions of platitudes, those lonely souls in the bush who take to drink to escape the boredom rarely reflect upon themselves as they are drinking, as lonely souls in the bush who took to drink to escape boredom. When they drink wouldn't it be sex & violence on their minds? To be clear, the honest effort really does come out of these pages, wildlife and customs, sounds and societies of the gold-fields and such-like are encompassed in the effort by Mr. Boldrewood to describe the totality of his experience.
Two major crimes are covered, let me now share these two delightful pieces of Australiana. The first is the theft of 1,000 cattle. This is an approximate number, and the convicts who undertook this act of villainy were captured & convicted by evidence in the form of a white bull. Mr. Boldrewood seems to have a over-balanced view of the crime, tar on all and targets for all. The second crime, is the robbery of the bank. The real equivalent was the Kelly Gang, who first bound all the local police before robbing the bank and perhaps had a few beers at the town's public house before departing.

Unexpectedly wonderful! I just adored this book about the exploits and fates of a group of bushrangers in New South Wales in mid-nineteenth century Australia. I found the characters, the story, the portrayal of colonial Australia and the language of the time mesmerising.
The bulk of the action takes place around 1851 and is narrated by the central character Dick Marston while he is in gaol awaiting death by hanging. From the beginning you know that Dick ends up a condemned man and from there he tells the story of the events that led to that fate.
I found the characters to be wonderfully written and they felt real to me. I cared about them and kept hoping against all probability that things would turn out right for them. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time that I read this book, fearing that at any minute Dick, his brother Jim and the leader of the gang of outlaws - Starlight - would meet their fates. I found the ending highly satisfying as well.
This book is a wonderful insight into Australia at this time in its history and I highly recommend it.

"Robbery under arms is a bushranger novel by Thomas Alexander Browne, published under his pseudonym Rolf Boldrewood, It was first published in serialized form by The Sydney Mail between July 1882 and August 1883, then in three volumes in London in 1888. It was abridged into a single volume in 1889 as part of Macmillan's one-volume Colonial Library series and has not been out of print since." (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbe... 28 May 2019)
In this famous Australian novel, a young man, Dick Marston, who has been condemned to hang, writes down the sorry tale of his drift into crime and outlawry. This is a ripping yarn of cattle-duffing (rustling, in American parlance), gaol-breaking, bank robbery, highway robbery, and audacious confidence trickery, leavened with a good deal of Dick's rather monotonous lamentation of the poor choices he has made in his life. Marston's partners in crime are an English gentleman known as Captain Starlight, Starlight's sinister aboriginal servant Warrigal, Dick's decent but haplessly loyal brother Jim, and his reprobate father, a transported Lincolnshire poacher, every single one of them a consummate bushman and horseman.
An important challenge, for a novelist constructing a narrative from the point of view of a felon, is to engage the sympathy of normally law-abiding readers, to make the reader's guilty pleasure in audacious crime feel less guilty. Boldrewood's chief protagonists, though outlaws, are constructed according to approved 19th-century norms of masculine virtue: Starlight is every inch a gentleman, by birth and in his conduct; the Marston brothers, though of more humble origins, are presented as young men of thoroughly decent feelings and character. Masculinity is constructed in a very conventional way; courage, fortitude, honour, and chivalry. The notion of chivalry informs all relations, good and bad, between the sexes. Young men may fall in love, but there is nary a whiff of actual sex anywhere in the narrative. The conduct of even the worst of men in the presence of women appears pretty tame: when Moran, Burke, and Daly hold the Whitman women at gunpoint, the boorish Moran at first confines himself to compelling the eldest Miss Whitman to play the piano and sing, while he and his companions drink themselves into a stupor; later when Moran, demanding a dance from Miss Falkland, puts his arm around her, he crosses a line beyond which Boldrewood will not permit him to go, and Jim gallantly rescues her, knocking Moran's head so hard against a wall that he falls down unconscious.
While readers may wink at cattle-duffing, gaol-breaking, and tying up bank-clerks and troopers at gunpoint, it is more difficult to deflect the gravity of murder. The survivors of the bounty hunters who have come close to discovering the Marston Gang's life-saving bolt-hole, the Terrible Hollow, are killed in cold blood by Dan Moran (who remains unaware of what he is protecting). Though Starlight and the Marstons are tainted in the eyes of the public by this crime, only Marston senior was actually there. The murder of Sergeant Hawkins is quite a different case. The robbery of the Turon Goldfield escort began with an ambush; many shots were fired and Sergeant Hawkins, who was driving the wagon, was shot dead in the first volley. Dick later rationalizes the killing: "We were all sorry for Sergeant Hawkins, and would have been better pleased if he'd been only wounded like the others. But these sorts of things couldn't be helped. It was the fortune of war; his luck this time, ours next." His justification is that, as outlaws, the gang are at war, and combatants are licensed to kill enemy combatants by whatever means serve that end. I don't buy it. This is cold-blooded murder, and grievous bodily harm to the troopers who weren't killed. Nobody was forced to fire on the escort. I know nothing of the revisions which were made between the original serialized Robbery under Arms and the single-volume 1889 edition, but I'd place a small bet that the scene at the Turon Goldfields (which is never really explained), in which Moran fixes his gaze on the trooper (a sergeant) driving the escort wagon, was added later to suggest to the reader that Hawkins' murderer is Moran: "As for Moran, we could see him fix his eyes upon the sergeant who was driving, and look at him as if he could look right through him. He never took his eyes off him the whole time, but glared at him like a maniac". Thus the Marstons and Captain Starlight are exculpated in the mind of the reader, and they remain acceptably wholesome characters for whom allowances may be made.
High adventure has been an almost exclusively masculine affair in English-language fiction until quite recently, so it is to Boldrewood's credit that there are so many women in the novel, some of them quite strong and active characters. Aileen Marston, sister of Dick and Jim, works the family farm, rides well, knows her own mind, and is capable of making bold decisions; while I suspect some feminists will deplore the fate that the novel assigns to her, it is plausibly a fate of her own choosing, given her background and the times, and in no sense an emblematic punishment for presumptuous agency. Women within the Marston circle, with the single exception of Kate (explicitly presented as a bad lot), have hearts of gold and are unfailingly loyal to their menfolk. When men and women relax together, they mostly sing around the piano and make jolly banter. I suspect that English readers of Robbery under Arms would have found these colonial women attractively free of airs and pretense.
The novel's single indigenous character is not sympathetically presented, always seething with ill-concealed hostility to the Marston brothers. His name, Warrigal, is a Dharuk (Eora) word meaning "wild dingo", but which in Australian English may be loosely applied to wild horses, wild dogs, wild men, or even uncultivated plants (Tetragonia tetragonoides a.k.a. warrigal greens). The parallel between Starlight's servant Warrigal and Marston senior's dog Crib is not easily missed; both are reckoned to have a more than common degree of intelligence and initiative ("sagacity" was once a popular word for such qualities in an animal), both suffer occasional harsh beatings at the hands of their master, and both are loyal to the point of adoration. I don't think I'm stretching a point if I state that Warrigal is presented as an intelligent and useful working animal, like Crib. Apart from Warrigal, Australian indigenous people exist in the novel only as trackers assisting the police. Boldrewood was a man of his time.
The adventures and escapes of the Marston Gang make very entertaining reading, and Dick Marston's narrative voice, while sometimes a little quaint, carries the tale along well. The gentleman highwayman may seem a bit of a cliché, but perhaps it wasn't so when this was written. It is no surprise that Robbery under Arms has never been out of print. It's a thoroughly enjoyable adventure story with a range of well-drawn bush characters, and town ones too. If it's a bit operatic in places, I won't knock it for that. If you're looking for a cracking good adventure story, this is hard to beat.

I have been travelling solo the last few days and took along this CD audio abridged edition for the long 7 hour drive to Albury NSW. What a treat this turned out to be and for a bit of serendipity the story is set around the very area that I travelled and then stayed. The Snowy Mountains provides beautiful scenery with its stark and rocky landscape and I could imagine Captain Starlight and his bushrangers riding through the hills on their many adventures and escapades. Actor John Stanton provides the narration and delivers a very lively rendition of this classic Australian story.

This is a beaut Aussie tale of bold, bad bushrangers which reads surprisingly well for its age. See http://anzlitlovers.wordpress.com/200...

A great work of Australian writing. Filled with adventure and is also a moral story.
April 23, 2023
I really enjoyed this old-fashioned tale set in the mid-1800s in colonial Australia with adventures in bushranging and goldmining. The story explores themes of family, pursuit of adventure versus the 'settled' life, and the nature of justice in a surprisingly sophisticated manner. I really liked the way the book captured the Australian landscape, everyday life, as well as the customs and language of people at that time, noting that it was first published in the 1880's. The book is over 400 pages, and times I found it a little slow, particularly some of the introspection of the protagonist. However, there was real value in spending time working through his musings and reflections on choices rather than just focusing on the 'what happens next' elements of the story. The characters were well developed, credible and engaging and the adventures and action parts of the story were handled well, and not 'over-dramatised'. The simple language and authentic tone made this an easy and enjoyable read.

This is a long story told by a protagonist on death row who deserved to be where he was. The story is deliberately rough in its language, and is complex, human and credible. The characterisation is convincing with variety and intrigue, with few stereotypes, which that era was understandably prone to. I learnt a fair bit about early Australian (European) life. I note one reviewer disliked "sexist" passages, however, if the story, told by a dark character in Victorian times, had displayed modern egalitarian views it would have totally lacked credibility. Genteel readers beware. The end was relatively long giving the author plenty of time to blow it and spoil the book, but he didn't, and produced an ending that stirred me at least.

I love this book. I read it many years ago, and thinking about it still fills me with warmth, as the characters are so enjoyable to read. Although, it is sometimes a dark story, set in a bleak Australian world, where cattle rustling is a part of everyday life, and so has many obvious dangers attached.
A very gripping book.
November 29, 2022
Told in a colloquial and Australian manner, which perfectly suited the time and theme of the story, giving a very authentic feel. The tale was gripping and exciting from start to finish, driven by a strong plot.
I found myself becoming attached to the main characters, and while the final shootout was occurring my heart was in my throat - definitely the sign of a great book.

This is classic Australian literature in its finest form. Follows the life of Dick Morton, captain starlight, Jim Morton and their father Ben.
Written around the 1860s, it’s stylist typical of the period. In spite of its age, the story is riveting and reflective of the era.
Deathly a worthwhile read.
June 22, 2020
Well, that was a long, slow, gruelling read. A classic of Australian literature, yes, but slow going, and written in an almost incomprehensible dialect. I ended up learning a lot about Australian dialects and bushrangers' cant in the process.
August 23, 2021
What a fantastic book!!! A fast paced story of Bushrangers - stealing, holding up coaches, etc. And set in the local area where I live. Which made it all the more interesting to read. Highly recommended.
July 8, 2022
Enjoyed the book and its tales of bushrangers in the late 1800's, but the book was long, long, long with repetitive tales of close-calls with the police and subsequent escapes to their hideaway valley. It could have done with some editing to trim it down.
July 13, 2023
Loved the sweeping saga of the writing. Language is dated and some references would be unacceptable today. The redemptive tones are interesting as are the enduring bonds of family and friendship. Recommended for those who like classics. Reminded me of LORNA DOONE.
December 10, 2021
Don't think this is so dated that it's not worth reading. Much of formative Australia is on show. It's well-written and introspective. Much worthwhile here on the Australian character.
December 10, 2023
This was a very long read, and I almost gave up.
If you are struggling, it is worth remembering this was originally printed a chapter at a time, so it was helpful to read at chapter increments

True to form. Cowboy culture down under and a good story to boot.

Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood
At the young age of 29 Dick Marston is sitting in Sydney jail 29 days away from being hung for “robbery under arms” and “bush ranging”, for holding up a convoy carrying bullion from the goldfields during which a policeman is killed. Books have helped him come to terms with his imprisonment, but they have also brought home to him the life he could have had if he had not ended up living a life of crime. So he decides to write an account of his life because “maybe it’ll save some other young chap from pulling back like a colt when he’s first roped, , setting himself against everything in the way of proper breaking, making a fool of himself and generally choking himself down as I have done.” Originally published in 1888 in serial form the book is a real page turner, richly evoking pioneer Australian life.
Dick’s father, Ben Marston, had been transported to Australia for poaching but once he had been released from servitude he obtained some land in the bush of New South Wales, built a hut by a creek for his wife Norah and their growing family and began to farm cattle. Dick is the oldest and he is joined by a brother Jim, two years later and a sister Aillen four years later. In deference to his wife’s Roman Catholicism ben allows her to raise Aileen as a Catholic while the two boys are raised Protestant like their father. By the time they are teenagers the boys have become stockmen running the farm during their father’s frequent long absences. They did receive six years of education because the publican in the nearest village hired a teacher for his six children and invited all the other local children to participate but this ends when the teacher dies and is not replaced.
The sons sense that people pity them for having the father they do even though they don’t really understand why, but they do begin to question the origin of some of the cattle their father brings with him on his visits home. What makes this book so enthralling is that as Dick grows up there are so many points when a different choice would have kept him on the straight and narrow or would have enabled him to get back onto an honest path. Dick realizes that his father must be a rustler, but his father does not pull him into his criminal business. It’s more that Dick wants to connect with his father, to know him and his world and so, reluctantly at first, his father takes him to the secret valley where he and the gang hide stolen cattle and horses and re-brand them before driving them to distant markets for sale.
That initial experience is exhilarating. They make camp in a cave and their father provides “the best meal I’ve ever tasted since I was born.” But now Dick looks back bitterly at this as the turning point when he turned away from working to achieve stability and raise a family instead of going after easy money and a good time. He also told himself in the beginning that he was just helping his father out temporarily, that “I could draw back in time, just after I tackle this job.” It is in the secret valley that he first meets” Captain Starlight”, the charismatic leader of the rustlers. The captain urges the boys not to follow their father but to go back home and lead an honest life before it is too late.
Captain Starlight is just one of the characters in the novel who seek to put the boys back on an honest track. From time to time they get real jobs as sheep shearers and stockmen and when they work in the gold fields, they make good money. But their outlaw past is always about to catch up with them or at least they believe it is. Dick and Jim dream of leaving Australia and making a new start far away, but it never quite works out despite the best efforts of people who know the good side of them and would do anything to save them.
This book is a real page turner. The author, Ralph Boldrewood (real name Thomas Alexander Browne), came to Australia as a child and grew up to run a large farm in Queensland for several years. He worked in the gold fields as a cop and then a commissioner. His love of the outback lifestyle and the untamed landscape, and his years in the goldfields is evident in his writing which encompassed short stories, memoirs and over 20 serialized novels. He was writing at a time when there was an enormous appetite among readers for books that celebrated bush life and the strength and stoicism of the people who were exploiting what Australia had to offer. His descriptions of the landscape and the people draw you in, the characters like Captain Starlight, sister Ailene who never gave up on them, half-caste Warrigal and their wiry determined mother make this a fascinating book even before you experience their dramatic exploits and narrow, mostly, escapes.
A very good read!

It isn't spectacular, but I enjoyed reading it. A fairly simple tale of a rural boy going down the path of a criminal, but who finds redemption in the end (at great cost). The writing itself is also simple, but it fits the setting and the characters involved, and it's fun finding old Australian slang this many centuries later.
The book has a bit of a problem with its morality, I think - specifically, when it wants to apply it. It dances between castigating the main characters (the Marston brothers, their father, and the leader of their gang of bushrangers, Starlight) and singing their praises. They're criminals, but they don't do the really bad stuff. The newspapers praise how well-mannered they are after having killed policemen in shootouts, and there's a running theme of 'playing fair' with the police with the implication that it makes it more above board. The book also becomes ambivalent about the cause of their criminal downfall - whether they were forced into it by obligation to friends and family, whether they had a choice at every step and made the wrong one, or whether it was inherently built into them to become rough types or not.
I also found the story of the protagonist's brother, Jim Marston, pretty frustrating. He is essentially used as the punching bag for the story to punish the protagonist's more impulsive actions, and is dragged along and has his life destroyed, each time essentially in reaction to Dick's own choices. It ended up feeling contrived and and cruel, but that may have been the point.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

This is a deceptively small volume, hardy and ideal to take travelling, very much in keeping with its subject matter. The style may seem long-winded to the modern reader, and it is definitely a product of its time. Thomas Wood's introduction picks up on some of its shortcomings, chiefly the author's tendency to moralise through his protagonist, but that strangely provides another point of interest: the study of a man who chooses a path he knows to be wrong, and self-defeating. In fact the author captures very well the inconsistencies that exist within our human nature, the inner conflicts that we deal with either by suppression or distraction, transference or projection or a myriad of other defences, and rarely find resolution for. And this is something he applies across the cast of characters. Noone's goodness guarantees their happiness, and noone's moral failings guarantee their downfall. Life, as it is protrayed in these pages, is difficult and complicated, full of choice but also strangely constricted too. So it is a book that is hard, compelling and enjoyable that raises many questions. It would make an excellent film too, if done well. I have got a lot more out of it than I expected and I hope it travels widely and gives enjoyment and food for thought for many more readers.

You know how it goes. The mastermind emerges from the underground, schemes an entertainingly complex and clever scheme, finds his – almost always his – expert hired hands to carry out said entertainingly complex and clever scheme, lays it all out for them and for us. They go do the heist, unexpected bumps in the road threaten to knock everything off course, and we wait to see whether they get away with the loot.
Since they grew out of film noir, heist movies have been one of film's most enduringly excellent genres. Since day one, they've had an absolutely platinum-plated structure, and the great thing about such a solid skeleton is it gives writers and directors a great platform to subvert and innovate while knowing that however far off base they go, it'll be there to keep things moving in the right direction.
There's something deeper than that at work though. In the Sixties, a campier, more playful sensibility in films like Basil Dearden's The League of Gentlemen invited us to allow ourselves to be charmed by the roguish, charismatic schemers liberating cash from people who could afford it. The thieves became the clever ones, the funny ones, the wry, snappy, stylish ones; the law and the guy being ripped off were out to stop their – and our – fun.
That's why it endures: there's an element of wish fulfilment in every heist film, or at least the fun of dissecting where it went wrong, and how you could pull off your own perfect job.
Ruben Brandt, Collector (2018)
This inventive animated movie is as much a psychological portrait of a man unravelling as it is a heist. Brandt is a psychotherapist by day, but he finds himself under psychic attack. The works of artists including Magritte, Warhol, Botticelli, Gaugin, Hopper and Picasso are crying out to him, and the only way he can work out of stilling his anxiety is to steal the paintings which demand his attention. To get hold of the 13 paintings he wants, he grabs some of his more criminally talented patients and sets off around the world. Things go well – in fact, they go too well, and soon half of the criminal underworld is on the tail of the man the press have dubbed 'The Collector'. It makes an interesting companion piece with Into the Spider-Verse – both have a rich and densely layered animation style, but here it's an expression of how trapped Brandt is by his visions.
Bob the Gambler (1956)
Or Bob le Flambeur, as it was when originally released. Bob Montagne is the good-time guy of Montmartre, an ex-con who's charmed his way back into polite society by keeping his nose clean for 20 years and holding onto a sense of honour. But when the cards stop falling Bob's way in the Paris casinos, he gets wind of another way to make ends meet. On the day of the Deauville Grand Prix horse race, there will be 800 million francs in a safe. The heist is on. But as Bob starts putting his crack team together, word gets out to some of the less honourable types around the city and Bob gets into a race of his own. As light on its feet as Bob is light-fingered, it's a fascinating link between the Rat Pack movies and gangster flicks Hollywood had been turning out, and the next great leap forward in the French New Wave.

Out of Sight (1998)
This primo slice of Steven Soderbergh crime thriller is the ur-George Clooney text. Smoother than an otter slicked in E45 and almost painfully dashing, this is where the Clooney of mega-watt stardom first cohered post-ER. His Jack Foley is a bank robber who manages to escape from prison and promptly goes on the hunt for a cache of uncut diamonds he's heard about while inside. "Your first time being robbed?" he asks a nervous cashier mid-burglary. "You're doing great." On his tail is Jennifer Lopez's marshal Karen Sisco and a rival gang who want the diamonds for themselves. Soderbergh and Clooney would go bigger with Ocean's 11, but this is where it started.
The Duke (2020)
The final Roger Michell, of Notting Hill and Le Week-End, completed in his lifetime, The Duke is a true story about a Geordie deep into middle age who managed to steal Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery. The motive wasn't money or even the thrill of the heist; he was protesting about pensioners having to pay the BBC license fee. It gets the atmosphere of London at the turn of the Sixties spot on – grubby, coal-blacked, withered – and Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent have warmth and companionable bickering to spare. A very Sunday afternoon kind of a heist film
Ant-Man (2015)
Way back in the mists of time, as Marvel's Phase Two turned into Phase Three, the megalithic juggernaut was dipping its toe into genre cinema. We had spy thrillers homaged by Robert Redford in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. We had knockabout . And we had the zippy, eminently likeable gang heist of Ant-Man. One of recent cinema's most tantalising coulda-beens was the version of Ant-Man Edgar Wright wanted to direct and co-wrote. Odd touches of Wright and co-writer Joe Cornish remain – see the needle-drop for The Cure's 'Disintegration' during one fight scene – but Paul Rudd and the gang's sprint into the quantum realm is still deeply charming.
Victoria (2015)
It's rare that a single-take film turns out to be a genuinely single-take film. (Yes, we're looking at you, 1917.) It's even more rare that that single-take film is actually any good. Sebastian Schipper's twisting, barreling tale of a night out that gets extremely out of hand is exactly that though. Victoria is a Spaniard in Berlin who, after a night in the club, bumps into four young men and shares a spliff with them. As it turns out, they're a gang who are getting ready to do a bank heist. Victoria joins the gang, but soon everything goes badly wrong. Schipper only had budget for three takes: the first was dull, as the actors tried to avoid dropping a bollock; the second was far too wild. Before the last, Schipper gave the cast a "hairdryer speech". It worked.
Bottle Rocket (1996)
Wes Anderson's feature-length debut isn't just one heist movie; it's a load of heist movies in one. Dignan (Owen Wilson, also making his big screen bow) busts his mate Anthony (his brother Luke) out of a psychiatric unit, and they set about several increasingly elaborate heists, starting with one of Anthony's own family's house. It's a peppy blast of originality which served notice of a unique new voice in cinema. Scorsese was a big fan: he named Bottle Rocket as one of his favourite films of the Nineties, and told Esquire in 200o that he liked how Anderson could "convey the simple joys and interactions between people so well and with such richness".
Le Cercle Rouge (1970)
This Parisian thriller packs in a lot of things we like. An extremely stylishly put together heist sequence. Lots of shots of the French capital looking haughtily gorgeous. Alain Delon smoking cigs while wearing a mac. When his Corey leaves prison early after good behaviour, he immediately gets a tip-off about a jewellery shop that's just crying out for a robbing. What's a man to do? The concluding heist sequence is a full 30 minutes long, and the tension is slowly, beautifully ratcheted up.
Bande à Parte (1964)
Sami Frey, Claude Brasseur and Jean-Luc Godard shooting of Bande A Part in France, 1964
Jean-Luc Godard's muse Anna Karina is Odile, a young woman who meets a guy called Franz (Sami Frey) who knows where there's a gigantic wedge of cash just waiting to be snaffled. Franz ropes in another friend, Arthur (Claude Brasseur), but soon the secret's out and the plan has to be stuck on rollerskates if they're going to get anywhere near it. If you like your heist films to come with an intensely French love triangle and shot through with a playful kind of darkness, try Bande à Part. Quentin Tarantino loves it – the dance sequence in Pulp Fiction comes straight from the café boogie in this one.
Payroll (1961)
Even before Michael Caine jumped on the East Coast mainline and started smacking Geordies about and demanding his bevs in thin glasses, Tyneside was a place which had a strong tradition of muscular, knees-to-the-asphalt noir thrillers. Payroll is one of the best: four would-be crims plan a raid on a payroll van. Sadly, everything goes horribly wrong and the gang and the vultures who want a slice of their spoils end up scrapping between themselves in the Norfolk wilds. There's a hard edge to it, and Newcastle and Gateshead prove as cinematic a setting as San Francisco or Sicily.
WATCH NOW
The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)
Robert Mitchum, at this stage in his career the archetypal menacing predator type after Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear, is a gunrunner for the Irish mob in Boston named Eddie Coyle. When the gang he's supplying jumps a bank manager and makes off with the loot, everything's looking up for Coyle. But a second job goes terribly wrong, and Coyle comes under more and more pressure to deliver sacrifices for a lawman who he's collaborating with to run down a sentence hanging over him. The grinding tensions come to a head in a third, desperate bit for more cash. This is one of Mitchum's best roles: careworn and exhausted, but sinewy and tough.
American Animals (2018)
The farcical true story of a gang of four Kentucky college students who stole valuable library books from their school is the basis of this heist in which the jaw dropping stupidity of the group really makes the story sing. Director Bart Layton, who was behind the 2012 documentary The Imposter, turns a story that could be slapstick into a genuinely dramatic escapade, using both real-life characters and a cast that includes Evan Peters and Barry Keoghan.
The Town (2010)
Ben Affleck's sophomore directing effort is arguably his very best, exposing the underbelly of Boston's Charlestown via the story of a gang who don nun masks to rob banks, eventually setting their sights on the big bucks at Fenway Park. Their efforts are compromised when Affleck's character falls for the bank manager they tie up on a job, leaving him torn between the prospect of escaping the town he's trapped in and the childhood friends who won't let him go so easily.
Jackie Brown (1997)
The only film which Quentin Tarantino has adapted from another writer's work, this Nineties classic more than holds its own against the director's other films. Starring Pam Grier, Jackie Brown is a riff on Seventies Blaxploitation movies like Foxy Brown, in which Grier also starred. After being caught smuggling gun money on a flight, the film's titular air hostess is forced to choose between keeping quiet and doing time or busting her arms dealer boss and cooperating with the police.
Drive (2011)
A modern classic of the genre, Ryan Gosling's killer jacket and the scintillating soundtrack made Drive a cultural moment that everyone was talking about. In it Gosling plays a getaway driver slash stuntman who falls in love with the wife of a criminal – an excellent Carey Mulligan – forcing him to reevaluate his criminal allegiances. The violence is dialled up to eleven, especially in one almost unwatchable lift scene, but the more tender moments are equally memorable too.
Layer Cake (2004)
Best known for being the screen performance which reportedly nabbed Daniel Craig the job as 007, Matthew Vaughn's portrait of England's seedy criminal underworld is nostalgic hit of Noughties excess. Craig is on fine form as a drug dealer who wants out and is forced into two daunting tasks by his unimpressed boss, and who could forget Sienna Miller's dancing in one of the best nightclub scenes in cinema history.
Sexy Beast (2000)
Sexy Beast is a work of British cinema history in which a mobster tracks down a former employee to force him out of retirement. Ray Winstone is on fine form as Gal, the laidback ex-criminal who just wants to be left to chain smoke around his shiny swimming pool, and who gets pushed over the edge by his maniac boss in a moment of passion. Sexy Beast functions like a play in two acts: the first setting the scene of the Spanish paradise being invaded, and the second the heist that threatens to bring Gal and his life down. It also features, for our money, Ben Kingsley's most iconic role. Everything from the calamari starters to the villa decor to the short-sleeved shirts is pure 2000.
Heat (1995)
Heat might not have been recognised at the Oscars, but the 25 years since its release have seen Michael Mann's crime thriller cemented as the classic of the genre. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are a formidable pair in this story of a detective trying to catch a seasoned criminal pulling his very last heist. Mann spent nine months shadowing an LAPD officer every Friday and Saturday night in the run up to Heat, responding to calls across the city to get a taste of what the crime there really looked like. The result is a film which exploits every hidden corner of the city in a relentless game of cat and mouse.
Logan Lucky (2017)
Steven Soderbergh, the 'master of heist' behind the Oceans trilogy, is at the helm for this dark crime comedy about two men trying to steal their way out of middle of nowhere America. The story follows the Logan brothers, – played by Adam Driver and Channing Tatum – who plan an elaborate scheme to rob a racing circuit in North Carolina, and the tangled web they get caught in through trying to evade the FBI. It also showed, before he did so in Knives Out, that Daniel Craig does funny very well indeed.
The Usual Suspects (1995)
The film which did confusing flashbacks and tricks with time before Nolan was at it, and the story which made Keyser Söze a name to be feared, The Usual Suspects is a mysterious thriller which pulls you into a confusing maze. In the wake of a deadly siege on a burned-out ship which leaves 27 dead, just two figures are left to piece together what happened: the problem is how much you can believe of what they tell you.
Baby Driver (2017)
A former getaway driver is blackmailed to take part in a job, or else his girlfriend will be hurt, but things go very wrong when their arms dealers turn out to be undercover officers. A gem from Edgar Wright, the cult director behind Spaced and Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver is a high octane chase which barely lets up, as well as featuring a very strong soundtrack behind all the screeching brakes.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Six anonymous criminals known only by pseudonyms (Mr Pink, Mr White, etc) attempt a huge diamond steal together, only to have the police show up and sow suspicion about who ratted them out. Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi and Michael Madsen are especially excellent in this cult heist film which is threaded with paranoia and rising tension. Tarantino's first, and still his very best, don't @ us, Reservoir Dogs is a film which has left its fingerprints on all of the heist stories which came after it. A bloody, maniacal laugh, set to the jaunty music of Stealers Wheels.
Inception (2010)
Christopher Nolan's thoughtful crime story did for the heist genre what he went on to do with Tenet for the sci-fi genre, and it's a testament to how complicated the latter is that Inception has aged as relatively straight-forward to follow. The film follows Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) a criminal who steals information by entering his victim's dreams in a realm in which five hours of real time accounts for fifty years in the dream world. Presented with an offer he cannot refuse, Cobb must perform an inception on his competitor's ill child in order to have his criminal past wiped clean.
Quick Change (1990)
Bill Murray's jaded Grimm executes the perfect heist along with his girlfriend and accomplice. It's beautiful, it's ingenious, and it nets him a million dollars. Now all he needs to do is jump on a plane and – finally – get out of New York. It's the getaway where things get sticky though. Missing street signs, muggers, paranoid tenants, fires, cab drivers and mobsters all conspire to stop the three thieves from making their flight, but there's still a chance they might get out of the city scott-free.
Thief (1981)
Michael Mann's feature debut casts James Caan as the closed-off, emotionally cold jewel thief and former convict Frank, who's increasingly torn between his (extremely dodgy) businesses and his yearning for a normal family life with his new partner Jessie. Frank's life is one of double-crossing, triple-crossing and occasional quadruple-crossing, which is really starting to get him down, and he's ready to get out. Until – of course! – there's one last big score to snag. If you like your heists satisfyingly accurate to life, Thief is your film. The Tangerine Dream soundtrack is a belter too.
The Killing (1956)
The first of Stanley Kubrick's mature films is a tightly wound and rock-hard-boiled noir thriller built around experienced crim Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden, later to become Dr Strangelove's Jack D Ripper) swinging at one last job to set himself up for life. There's $2 million waiting to be swiped at a racetrack, and he pieces together an unlikely crew to do it: a corrupt cop, a sharpshooter, a bookie, a bartender, and a pro wrestler. Clay's wife Sherry is pretty sick of Clay's schemes not delivering her the riches she was expecting, and sets up a competing heist to get the cash from him.
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
This one minted so many bits of the heist movie narrative that it's hard to imagine the genre without it: a hand-picked crew of specialists pulled together by a newly liberated mastermind; the big scene where the brilliant plan is outlined; a vault they said couldn't be broken; an invisible security system to be broached; and a gradual unravelling of the plan which tests the accomplices' allegiances. With its hard-boiled script and heavy shadows it's a descendent of noir crime thrillers, and the very young Marilyn Monroe appears, too. She was initially turned down for a small role as a lawyer's mistress, but the way she flounced out convinced director Jack Huston to call her back: she was, he said, "one of the few actresses who could make an entrance by leaving the room".
Ocean's 11 (2001)
Well, obviously. The starriest of starry ensembles – George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Lennox Lewis, Don Cheadle's sub-Dick Van Dyke cock-er-nee chewing – get together for Steven Soderbegh's update of the 1960 Frank Sinatra vehicle, intending to empty the vaults of not one, not two, but three Vegas casinos on the same night, using the heavyweight title fight as their cloak and a Chinese acrobat as their dagger. There's not much to be said about it that hasn't already been said, other than that it's probably the film which birthed the Brad Pitt second act, where he looked like a Robert Redford-esque classic leading man: laconic, wise-cracking, and usually with a burger in hand.
Rififi (1955)
"Out of the worst crime novel I ever read," Francois Truffaut said of Rififi, "Jules Dassin has made the best crime film I've ever seen." Its greatest sequence, the half-hour robbery set-piece which is entirely dialogue- and music-free, remains an staggering heist in itself, a daring bit of surely-they-won't-get-away-with-it bravado which gets away clean every time. Dassin seems to be winkingly saying that he, the hand on the camera, is as much a master of misdirection as the reprobates trying to steal the jewels from a Parisian dealer's apparently impenetrable vault.
Widows (2018)
Steve McQueen's classy thriller follows four women whose husbands died at the hands of police during an attempted heist as they attempt to settle their sadly exploded partners' debts. To pay back $2 million to a crime boss the husbands had ripped off, they plan to make off with $5 million using a plan from one of the deceased's notebooks. Led by Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki and Carrie Coon, Widows is a sparky, intelligent and urgent film whose heroines aren't just out for a laugh – they're just trying to survive.
Ronin (1998)
Robert de Niro's mid-Nineties second wind tends be seen to hinge on Heat and Jackie Brown, but Ronin is equally impressive. He's ex-CIA guy Sam, a mercenary who's now leading a bunch of specialists including Jean Reno, Stellen Skarsgard and Sean Bean, who are on the trail of a mysterious suitcase. Jonathan Pryce, playing an IRA operative, has other ideas though. Ronin's grittily convincing car chases still stand out, and Bean is particularly good as the out-of-his-depth weak link. He gets one of the greatest lines in his filmography too: "Almost a little bit of raspberry jam, eh!"
Inside Man (2006)
Wonderful as Spike Lee's second golden run of films has been to witness, it's slightly gutting that Inside Man stands as his last big-budget mainstream success. The heist itself comes early, and it's a complex one involving thieves dressed as decorators, an elaborate hostage-shuffling system and recordings of the dead Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha. As such, it quickly turns from a howdunnit into a whydunnit, with Denzel Washington and Chiwetl Ejiofor bearing down on Clive Owen's criminal ringleader. As you'd expect of Lee, it's a superior, intelligent blockbuster of a thriller, and nobody shoots New York with the energy and wit that he does.
Set It Off (1996)
Four friends in LA (Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A Fox and Kimberley Elise) are at rock bottom, scrubbing floors together for a pittance. After a police shooting, they decide to take their destinies into their own hands, robbing a string of banks with some insider info and stacking up a pretty gigantic wedge apiece. But after they're double-crossed, they're drawn back in for one last hoorah. F Gary Gray's film feels fresh still, and though the first half hour is a little up and down, things quickly kick into gear.
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
At the outset of Sidney Lumet's film, Al Pacino's gang look like the kind of take-no-prisoners bruisers common to the heist genre. But then, almost immediately, their plan completely falls to pieces. They're no kind of criminal outfit. They're a rag-tag bunch of misguided chancers. Over the course of 12 hours, Pacino's Sonny accidentally becomes a counterculture folk hero while trying to get money together for his lover's gender-affirmation surgery and gradually losing his marbles as he keeps multiple plates spinning.
The Lavender Hill Mob (1951)
Every British heist film which followed The Lavender Hill Mob owes it an enormous debt. The charming, urbane mastermind character probably hit its absolute peak with Alec Guinness's Henry Holland. Sitting in a Rio de Janeiro bar, he recounts a big job he did in London. Holland has been an honest John for 20 years, looking after gold bullion deliveries, until a long-brewing plan to make off with some finally finds its last missing piece. It's an Ealing Studio lark, but viewed 70 years later, there's a darker undercurrent too. Like other British post-war crime thrillers like Night and the City, the location shooting in London shows not a triumphant victor of war, but a bomb-site city still dragging itself, disfigured and sad, out of the rubble.
Bound (1996)
Even before the Wachowskis made The Matrix, they were bending the rules. Their debut feature takes a pulpy heist set-up and runs with it, and much like The Matrix, it's now far more obvious that the Wachowskis laced the whole thing with allusions to the lesbian and trans experiences. Bound riffs on the traditional gender roles of the heist genre, casting Gina Gershon as Corky, the archetypal hard nut seduced by Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and convinced to steal from her mob boss boyfriend. Corky and Violet are constantly underestimated by the men around them, and the directors later said that everyone in Bound is fighting against the "sort of trap that they were making out of their lives". It's a stylish, confident opening to a brilliant filmmaking career.
Dead Presidents (1995)
This is one of the films which plays most freely with the heist structure. Unusually, we start at the aftermath of the job itself, with burning dollar bills and a sense that everything has spun out of control, before whipping back to 1968 to explore exactly how these men came to be so desperate that they had to hit a bank.
The Hughes Brothers' direction is expressive and comes with an emotional wallop – there's an especially extraordinary jump cut which takes Larenz Tate's Anthony from sprinting across back yards in the Bronx to sprinting through the jungle of Vietnam. It's about a lot more than just the job – and turns a heist film into a treatise on how America mistreated Black veterans and communities after their return to an ungrateful nation.

This article was originally published September 4, 2019 and has been updated to include additional movies.
America can only claim a few art forms as its own. Jazz, for sure. Comic books, certainly. It’s probably safe to add the Western to that list, too, even if — like jazz and comics — the Western has roots around the globe and has since been adopted in many lands.
The history of movie Westerns more or less begins with the end of the Old West itself. Westerns thrived in the silent era, and though the genre’s popularity has ebbed and flowed ever since — largely fading from view in the ’80s but enjoy several resurgences in succeeding decades — it’s never threatened to fade away. The Western is a vital genre with the habit of reinventing itself every few years that doubles as a way to talk about America’s history while reflecting on its present. A strand of violent, psychologically complex Westerns that appeared in the 1950s, for example, captures both changing attitudes toward the settlement of the West and the treatment of Native Americans while channeling the spirit of a country still recovering from a devastating World War. And while there are certain themes and elements that define the genre, it’s also proven to be flexible, capable of playing host to many different stories and an infinite variety of characters. In Paul Greengrass’s film News of the World, for instance, Tom Hanks plays a traveling newsreader whose attempt to return a girl to her family doubles as a tour of a country whose divisions look like clear roots to some of our current national troubles.
This list of the 50 greatest Westerns reflects that wide legacy from the very first entry, a film directed by a Hungarian and starring a Tasmanian. It’s been assembled, however, working from a fairly traditional definition of the Western: films set along the America frontier of the 19th and the first years of the 20th century. That means no modern Westerns, no stealth Westerns starring aged X-Men, and no space Westerns with blasters instead of pistols. (We did, however, make an exception for a certain comedy that concludes with its stars attending its own premiere.)
That, of course, still leaves a lot of great Westerns. More, of course, than could possibly fit on a top-50 list interested in capturing the full scope of the genre. As such, not every John Ford film made the list. Anthony Mann and James Stewart made eight Westerns together. Any of them could have been included, but not all of them have been. This list is designed to double as a guide to the genre’s many different forms in the hopes it will send readers to corners they might not know and reconsider some classics they might not have seen before.
So with all that said, let’s kick it off with a trip to an especially rowdy Old Western town.
50.
Dodge City (1939)
Some of the greatest Westerns ever made tweak the genre’s traditions and expectations — traditions and expectations created by countless films that like their good guys to wear white hats, their bad guys to be instantly identifiable villains, their saloons to play host to barroom brawls, and their climactic shoot-outs to be rousing. Dodge City has no interest in subverting any of that. Directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland — a team that had recently enjoyed great success with films like Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood — the film wants nothing more than to be a traditional Western on the grandest scale imaginable. Flynn plays a man compelled to clean up the lawless cattle town of Dodge City. De Havilland plays the woman who loves him (eventually), and Bruce Cabot plays a lawless tough guy. The rest, as the saying goes, writes itself, but the film’s so entertaining that the familiarity of it all doesn’t matter. Flynn and de Havilland transport the chemistry of their swashbuckling adventures to the Old West, while Curtiz makes brilliant use of Technicolor and a big budget. Anyone new to the Western or just wanting to see a Hollywood Western in its most basic form executed at the highest possible level should start here. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
49.
The Sisters Brothers (2018)
At the other end of the spectrum lies what back in the ’60s used to be called “the revisionist Western,” though its influence has so permeated the genre that it’s hard to tell where traditionalism ends and revisionism begins. Put simply, the revisionist Western steers away from, or plays against, formula, refusing to romanticize the Old West or depict it as a place with clear good guys and bad guys. It also tends to emphasize the grimier, more unpleasant aspects of life in the American West. One litmus test: If you see flies buzzing around a corpse, you’re probably watching a revisionist Western.
There’s grime aplenty, but also unexpected sweetness, in The Sisters Brothers, in which John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix play brothers who work as hired assassins, despite being temperamentally unsuited for the job. Hired by a rich man to take out an inventor named Warm (Riz Ahmed), they run into mission drift as they get to know both their target and the other man tracking him down, a private detective named Morris (Jake Gyllenhaal). Adapted by Jacques Audiard from a novel by Patrick deWitt, the film didn’t find much of an audience when it played in theaters. But it’s a cult classic waiting to happen, a cockeyed look at a time and place in America when the rules hadn’t yet hardened and seemingly anything could happen — for good and for ill. It also features a breathtaking ending that’s unlike anything another Western has dared. (Available to stream on Pluto TV, Tubi, and Plex.)
48.
Buck and the Preacher (1972)
Watch enough classic Westerns and it’s easy to conclude — leaving out a few exceptions — that African-Americans rarely had a role to play in the Old West, or at best kept to the margins of the stories that defined it. That doesn’t square with history, and Sidney Poitier’s directorial debut shines a light on just one underrepresented Old West story via the tale of some Black migrants fleeing the brutality of Reconstruction life to find a new life in unsettled territory — only to find that prejudice and other perils await them on their journey. Poitier stars as Buck, a former soldier who escorts wagon trains for pay but comes to find he has a deeper stake in the well being of those he protects. A virtually unrecognizable Harry Belafonte co-stars as Preacher, a scraggly, traveling man of God/con man who, eventually, throws in with Buck. Joined by Ruby Dee, they make a fun buddy team. Their chemistry provides a light counterbalance to the film’s exploration of the complicated racial dynamics that defined the West, including the party’s tense arrangement with the Native Americans who never let the migrants forget they’re only visitors as they pass through their territory. (Available to stream on Prime Video and Tubi.)
47.
Day of Anger (1967)
The Western genre got a shot of new ideas starting in the early ’60s thanks to the proliferation of European Westerns, many of them made by Italian directors using stretches of Italy and Spain that mostly looked like the Old West — not to mention a mix of American and European stars. The master of what would come to be known as Spaghetti Westerns was Sergio Leone, whose breakthrough film, 1964’s A Fistful of Dollars, made a movie star out of a TV actor named Clint Eastwood and helped spark a boom that would lead to hundreds of such films in the decades that follow. (More on Leone, Eastwood, and A Fistful of Dollars below.) With their askew takes on the American mythos, twisted characters, inventive scores, vivid imagery, and florid violence, the Spaghetti Western developed into a rich subgenre that could easily fill a top 50 list of its own, one that rewards those who venture away from Leone. One example: Day of Anger, directed by Leone’s former assistant director Tonino Valerii. Giuliano Gemma stars as Scott, a lowly street sweeper whose status starts to change when Frank Talby (Lee Van Cleef, an American actor whose career got a second act thanks to Spaghetti Westerns) takes him under his wing. But he soon learns that there’s a price to be paid by those who would use a gun to move up in the world. Clearly inspired by Leone — they’d work together again on the fun My Name Is Nobody in 1973 — Valerii mixes cutting black humor with scenes of violence, blending enthrall with revulsion as we see what it means to make one’s reputation by shedding blood. (Available to stream on Plex and Tubi).
46.
The Great Train Robbery (1903)
Consider this: When Edwin S. Porter made The Great Train Robbery, using New Jersey as a stand-in for the American frontier, the Old West wasn’t even that old. Most historians use 1912, when Arizona and New Mexico became states, as the closing of the frontier. But, as with the dime novels that made heroes and legends out of its inhabitants, the West was already passing into myth when Porter made this violent, crisply edited film in which bandits meet a bad end after robbing a telegraph office (but not before thrilling audiences with their daring and ruthlessness, like so many heroes and villains to follow them). The final shot, in which the lead bandit takes aim at the audience, is its own kind of wonder, implicating viewers in both the threat and the thrill of what they’d just seen. (Available to stream on YouTube.)
45.
Broken Arrow (1950)
If the Western genre has an original sin, it’s the portrayal of Native Americans, treated by many films alternately as buffoons and subhuman savages. The demeaning depictions have ties to some of the ugliest chapters in American history. And just as the country at large is still reckoning with the consequences of its conquest of the West, the Western genre will always have to grapple with its most thoughtless and hateful portrayals. Some films tried to offer correctives, though they usually weren’t without their own sorts of awkwardness. Directed by Delmer Daves, Broken Arrow loses points for casting white actors in most of its Native American roles, a once-common practice that now seems baffling. But it scores points for weaving a message of tolerance into an effective, fact-inspired adventure story in which James Stewart plays Tom Jeffords, an ex-Army scout who befriends the Apache chief Cochise (Jeff Chandler) and works to defuse tensions in the area. The film both helped nudge the Western’s depiction of Native Americans in a more sympathetic direction (though not every film responded to that nudge) and — with Winchester ’73, released the same year — helped confirm Stewart as one of the key stars of the new decade, thus bringing about a more complex, conflicted sort of Western hero. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
44.
One-Eyed Jacks (1961)
Marlon Brando only directed one movie and it didn’t exactly do his career any favors. He went over schedule, and over budget with One-Eyed Jacks, which premiered to mixed reviews and commercial indifference. The release of a restored print in 2016 — shepherded by admirers like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg — helped confirm what the film’s partisans had argued all along: Brando knew what he was doing behind the camera. Scorsese described it as “represent[ing] a sort of bridge between two eras in moviemaking: the production values of old Hollywood and the emotional values of the new Hollywood,” an apt summation of a classic-looking Western anchored by Brando’s tortured performance as Rio, an outlaw determined to exact revenge on an older partner he calls Dad (Karl Malden) who’s gone straight and become a lawman — a plan made all the more complicated when Rio falls for Dad’s stepdaughter (Pina Pellicer). The production was dogged by stories of Brando wasting time waiting for just the right waves to appear for a shot, but the film itself bears out his instincts. Sometimes you just have to wait for the right wave to suggest the roiling emotions of a bad guy trying to decide if he wants to follow his instincts to their violent ends. (Available to stream on Pluto TV, Tubi, and Plex.)
43.
Little Big Man (1970)
Few revisionist Westerns took the task of demythologizing the West as literally as Arthur Penn’s Little Big Man, which is narrated by the 121-year-old Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman, under extremely impressive aging makeup) who tries to set the record straight by telling a historian what really happened in the Old West. Crabb has an unusual perspective. A white kid raised by the Cheyenne, he bounces back and forth between the white and Native American worlds over the course of the film, finding abundance of absurdity on both sides but an overabundance of hypocrisy and cruelty on only one. Penn balances comedy against tragedy, depicting Crabb bungling his way through stints as a gunslinger and a soldier then refusing to look away from the massacres he witnesses, scenes Penn fills with echoes of the Vietnam War. Even those who remember the past sometimes live long enough to see it repeated. (Available to stream on Prime Video.)
42.
The Left Handed Gun (1958)
Speaking of Penn, years before he made Bonnie and Clyde sympathetic outlaws, he did much the same for Billy the Kid with The Left Handed Gun. As played by Paul Newman, William Bonney is a trigger-happy hothead who’s more misunderstood than evil. Taken in by a cattle boss, he becomes enraged when a competing bunch of cattlemen kill his mentor. The anger ultimately leads to his downfall, but not before he starts to see his own short life start to become legend. Working from a take on Bonney originated by Gore Vidal, Penn and Newman treat him as a rebel with an overdeveloped sense of justice and underdeveloped impulse control. It serves as a showcase for a complex, twitchy performance for Newman, who was just coming into his own as a major movie star, and for Penn, whose directorial debut captures a director ready to question received American myths from the start. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
41.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
A similar impulse drives Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, but rather than fill the film with restless energy, as Penn did, Dominik opts for a more meditative approach. Brad Pitt plays James opposite Casey Affleck as Robert Ford, an admirer and gang recruit who ultimately turns against his idol. Aided by stunning Roger Deakins cinematography and an entrancing score from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Dominik’s film locks into the rhythms of another time, letting sharp moments of violence interrupt long, slow passages that wouldn’t be out of place in a film by Terrence Malick (one of Dominick’s obvious reference points). The film had a difficult journey to theaters where it drew only small but devoted audiences, yet even then it seemed destined to be regarded as a classic unappreciated in its time. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
40.
The Shootist (1976)
John Wayne might not have known the end was near when he agreed to make The Shootist for Don Siegel, but he must have had his suspicions. Wayne, who died in 1979, had fought cancer since the early ’60s and had been finding it increasingly hard to work due to his physical limitations. The story of a gunfighter facing down death, The Shootist didn’t begin as an elegiac tribute to the star — a number of other, younger actors passed on the part — but it works beautifully as Wayne’s swan song, giving him a character who’s lived long enough to become a Western legend only to learn that that status has more detriments than benefits. Filled with familiar faces — James Stewart and John Carradine among them — and set in 1901, it also captures the passing of one era and the coming of another. Wayne’s character, J.B. Books, becomes the idol of a teenage boy named Gillom (Ron Howard), but the film’s ultimately about how the sort of life Books lived has no place in the world that’s coming. Nor did Wayne, but Siegel’s film gives him a fitting good-bye. (Available to stream on Showtime.)
39.
Blazing Saddles (1974)
Filled with deep knowledge of and affection for the classic Western, and a willingness to blow raspberries at it anyway, Blazing Saddles finds Mel Brooks (and a writing team that included Richard Pryor and Andrew Bergman) deploying every sort of gag known to comedy, from dark, anachronistic asides (“I must’ve killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille”) to a concerto of bean-assisted farts. But it might just have been a fun romp were it not for the social commentary central to the story of Bart (Cleavon Little), a black man sent by the corrupt Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman) to stir up trouble in the town of Rock Ridge so it can be demolished to make way for a railroad line. It’s silliness with a purpose, and the film weaves the jokes and the pointed jabs together brilliantly. Brooks directs with an understanding of how classic Westerns work, but the film is driven by a need to tell the sort of story they never could. (Available to stream on Paramount+.)

The Tall T (1957)
Between 1956 and 1960 director Budd Boetticher, writers Burt Kennedy and Charles Lang, and star Randolph Scott teamed up for six films that came to be known as the Ranown Cycle — tough, tight, morally complex stories of the Old West and the difficulties of being a person of conscience while living within it. All beautifully crafted and carefully considered, any of them would make a fine addition to this list (and there’s one more a little further up the line). Adapted from a story by Elmore Leonard, The Tall T casts Scott as a down-on-his-luck cowboy who ends up in the middle of a scheme to ransom a wealthy woman (Maureen O’Hara) newly wed to a coward. Boetticher keeps the suspense high in a film deeply interested in what it means to be an honorable man under impossible circumstances, a struggle Scott depicts less through words than actions and the emotions he feels but never expresses. (Available to stream on Plex, Starz, and Tubi.)
37.
Django (1966)
Undoubtedly the most influential Spaghetti Western not directed by Sergio Leone, Django takes the ugliness and violence of Leone’s films up several notches for a story that pits an ex-Union soldier named Django (Franco Nero) against the Klan and other foes. Sergio Corbucci — who also contributed memorable entries like Navajo Joe and The Great Silence to the Spaghetti canon — directs like Leone without the lyricism, putting the emphasis squarely on violence and absurdity. But his approach, and Nero’s performance, serve the lean, mean, bloody story well. The film has one official sequel but dozens of unofficial follow-ups with titles like Django, Prepare a Coffin and A Few Dollars for Django. It also has even more imitators who found varying degrees of success by combining a mysterious hero with ever-escalating violence. The original, however, remains a dark delight. (Available to stream on Peacock and Pluto TV. )
36.
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
The ’50s and ’60s found international filmmakers engaging in a fascinating cultural exchange. For his 1954 classic Seven Samurai, Akira Kurosawa looked to the American Western — especially the films of John Ford — for inspiration. The American Western repaid the tribute with this remake of Seven Samurai directed by John Sturges. Sturges’s film lacks some of the surprise and depth of Kurosawa’s film, but it’s as entertaining as big Hollywood Westerns get, putting Yul Brynner in charge of a mismatched band of gunfighters (whose ranks include Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn) as they defend a Mexican village plagued by bandits under the command of a sadistic leader played by Eli Wallach. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
35.
Bend of the River (1952)
The West held the promise of reinvention, serving as a place where those who wanted to start a new chapter in their lives could forget the past. But does a fresh start always change the contents of a person’s heart? That’s the question at the center of this Anthony Mann Western in which James Stewart and Arthur Kennedy both play former border raiders who, in the years after the Civil War, have started to create new lives for themselves on the frontier. For Stewart’s character, that means helping a wagon train find its way to Oregon. For Kennedy’s that maybe means the same thing. But maybe not. Mann’s film explores what it takes to redeem the bad actions of the past while depicting the corrupting influence of wealth, watching as the discovery of gold turns almost everyone into monsters and the Edenic Oregon Territory into a land ruled by greed. It’s a complex, gripping drama that’s unafraid to send some likable characters down dark paths, and it all plays out against stunning Pacific Northwest scenery (some less-convincing-than-usual soundstage sequences aside). (Not currently available on streaming.)
34.
A Bullet for the General (1966)
The Spaghetti Western’s offshoots include the Zapata Western, which set stories against the background of the Mexican Revolution. This often provided filmmakers the chance to offer coded (and sometimes not so coded) commentary on the politics of the 1960s. Among the first of its type, Damiano Damiani’s A Bullet for the General mixes rousing action with a story of betrayal and political assassination that ends with an unambiguous call for the underclass to take up arms. Unsurprisingly, its screenwriting team includes Franco Solinas, the Marxist co-writer of The Battle of Algiers, but Damiani effectively folds the film’s political agenda into an exciting narrative filled with memorable action scenes that exemplifies how popular entertainment can often be the best way to deliver a message. (Available to stream on Plex and Tubi.)
33.
Vera Cruz (1954)
Spaghetti Westerns didn’t come out of nowhere. Their precursors include this Robert Aldrich film, in which a financially struggling plantation owner named Ben (Gary Cooper) seeks to bail himself out any way he can by seeking his fortune in Mexico. There he teams up with Joe (Burt Lancaster), the morally suspect leader of a band of outlaws (a band that includes Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson and others), to make off with a fortune in gold coins. Aldrich brings a surplus of visual flair to a sweat-soaked film in which Cooper’s character looks like a good guy only in contrast to the even worse guys around him. Cooper’s tight-lipped performance leaves Lancaster plenty of room to play the colorful rogue, a man who can keep up a charm offensive up to the moment he puts a bullet in your back. (Available to stream on MGM+, Pluto TV, and Tubi.)
32.
Ride the High Country (1962)
Budd Boetticher moved on from movie Westerns after Comanche Station in 1960, focusing instead on TV work and a documentary about matador Carlos Arruza. Randolph Scott, on the other hand, made one more Western, the 1962 film Ride the High Country. The first Western film directed by Sam Peckinpah, it plays a bit like the passing of the torch. Scott and Joel McCrea co-star as aging cowboys who take on the job of guarding a gold shipment. They’re men past their prime in a world that’s passing them by, and they know it, but they’re determined to make the most of their last ride. Peckinpah would soon make movies that would upend the Western genre with their balletic violence and dirt-caked vision of the West. Ride the High Country finds him exploring some of his pet themes — particularly the end of the West and what it means to be a man out of time — via a much more traditional style and using major stars of a not-quite-but-almost-bygone era. A lovely, quietly mournful film, it, too, would be one of the last of its kind. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
31.
The Shooting (1966)
Some films never fully give up their mysteries. The Shooting, one of two low-budget Westerns that Monte Hellman made back-to-back in Utah for an uncredited Roger Corman, is one such film. Working from a script by future Five Easy Pieces writer Carole Eastman (working under a pseudonym), Hellman turns the story of two gunslingers (Warren Oates and Will Hutchins) accompanying an unnamed woman (Millie Perkins) through an unforgiving desert while being trailed by a man in black (a menacing Jack Nicholson). Artful and at times almost abstract, it strips the Western down to its fundamental elements and then strips away some more as it builds to an ending as mysterious in its own way as the end of Don’t Look Now (or Hellman’s own Two-Lane Blacktop). For a long time, The Shooting seemed almost more like a rumor than a film. It never played theaters and aired just a few times on TV. But those who saw it kept its flame alive, and it’s rightfully received a second life thanks to home video. The film’s more conventional companion piece, Ride in the Whirlwind, also starring Nicholson and Perkins, is also very much worth a look. (Available to stream on Peacock, Prime Video, Max and Tubi.)
30.
The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)
Clint Eastwood’s fifth film as a director has tangled origins. It began as a film by Philip Kaufman, who took on the job of adapting a book by a man who called himself Forrest Carter, who’d later write the memoir The Education of Little Tree recounting his upbringing in the Cherokee tradition. Kaufman lost his job while shooting the film and Carter would later be exposed as a fraud — a former member of the Klan and a speechwriter for George Wallace. Despite how it got started, The Outlaw Josey Wales ended up as very much a Clint Eastwood film, and a more mature consideration of the genre than he’d managed with its dark, violent, and deeply satisfying predecessor High Plains Drifter. Trading in a story of revenge for one of reconciliation, Eastwood stars as Josey Wales, a member of a pro-Confederate militia who heads West to escape a bounty on his head. Having lost his wife and child to pro-Union forces, he expects his journey to be a lonely one, only to pick up a kind of surrogate family that includes an aged Cherokee man (Chief Dan George), a mute Navajo woman, and others. Eastwood doesn’t skimp on the violence, but the film ultimately cares more about what happens after violence ends, and how a country patches itself together after a divisive war, a theme that resonated with mid-’70s America. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
29.
The Ox-Bow Incident (1943)
A tight, chilling cautionary tale about the dangers of mob mentality and rushed judgment, this William Wellman film stars Henry Fonda and Harry Morgan as cowboys who drift into a new town and find themselves drawn into a posse seeking justice for the murder of a rancher. They find some likely suspects, or at least suspects that seem likely enough to a bloodthirsty crowd. Always efficient, Wellman’s film is short and to the point, but it moves to deliberate rhythms, conveying the speed and urgency of the posse’s hunt but slowing down as their suspects endure the torture of knowing that their time on Earth may have reached an end. In a genre with no shortage of blazing guns and casual killing, The Ox-Bow Incident makes every death sting. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
28.
For a Few Dollars More (1965)
The middle entry in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy — we’ll be hitting the others a little further up the list — For a Few Dollars More sometimes gets overlooked, sandwiched as it is between the tight, revelatory breakthrough A Fistful of Dollars and the sweeping The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. In many respects, it falls squarely between those two poles, but it’s also the most emotionally rich of the three. Eastwood returns, this time playing a bounty hunter who joins forces with a former Army colonel who keeps his reasons for seeking revenge to himself until the film’s finale, reasons that add a poignant undercurrent to a film that ups the violence and grunginess of its predecessor and sets up an even more ambitious follow-up. (Available to stream on Max.)
27.
Winchester ’73 (1950)
James Stewart didn’t have the easiest time returning to work after World War II. The charming comedic parts he’d specialized in before his time in the Air Force, an experience he had difficulty discussing, didn’t seem to suit him anymore, and his first film back, It’s a Wonderful Life, flopped even though it showcased a skill at playing troubled characters rarely glimpsed before. However, 1950 was a breakthrough year. He dazzled in Harvey, but it was a pair of Westerns that confirmed that he’d be a major force in the genre for years to come: Broken Arrow (see above) and this first pairing with Anthony Mann. Here Stewart plays Lin McAdam, the central figure in the story of a rare, coveted gun’s journey through the Old West, as it passes from Lin’s hands to that of an outlaw, a Native American (Rock Hudson), and others. It’s a clever device that allows Mann to explore several corners of the West and, in the process, tell a variety of stories while setting up both director and star as important voices in the genre. (Available to stream on Starz.)
26.
True Grit (2010)
John Wayne shook up his image with the 1969 film True Grit, an adaptation of a Charles Portis novel in which Wayne played the cantankerous, usually drunk U.S. Marshal “Rooster” Cogburn. It’s a fine film in its own right, but Joel and Ethan Coen’s second pass at the story is even better. Jeff Bridges takes on the Cogburn role, playing him as equal parts curmudgeon and hero as he helps the spirited, teenaged Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) track down the villain (James Brolin) who killed her father — with some help from a boastful Texas Ranger (Matt Damon). The results, which bring more of the novel’s eccentric touches to the screen, suggest Portis’s book was always meant to be a Coen brothers movie, creating a vision of the West as a weird, darkly comic place, one that requires an almost inhuman amount of dedication to bend it to its will. It gets points for keeping Portis’s bittersweet ending, too. (Available to stream on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.)
25.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
In an instantly infamous interview with Marc Maron, Sam Elliott likened the cowboys of The Power of the Dog to “those dancers, those guys in New York that wear bowties and not much else.” He meant Chippendales dancers, and though Elliott was generally wrong in his assessment of Jane Campion’s haunting, darkly funny adaptation of the 1967 Thomas Savage novel, he’s onto something by suggesting the film’s cowboys are playing a role. The brilliance of Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as the sadistic, ultra-macho Phil Burbank is in Phil’s phoniness. He’s not a cowboy by birth, but — in attempting to live up to the cowboy ideal of his idol, the late Bronco Henry — he’s determined to live (and overplay) the part to the bitter end. In Peter Gordon (Kodi Smit-McPhee), the effete stepson of Phil’s brother George’s (Jesse Plemons) new bride, Rose (Kirsten Dunst), he finds a target for his brutality: someone who’s not quite helpless as he appears against the backdrop of a Montana that’s reluctant to embrace the 20th century and say good-bye to the ways of the Old West. (Available to stream on Netflix.)
24.
The Gunfighter (1950)
“Well, there was this movie I seen one time about a man riding ’cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck,” Bob Dylan sings on his 1986 track “Brownsville Girl,” a song co-written by Sam Shepard. Then, without warning, he goes on to spoil the plot of this 1950 Henry King film, in which Peck plays a gunfighter whose prowess with a gun has made him a legend while putting a target on his back for any young gun hoping to make a name for himself. Dylan can’t quite remember the name of the movie, but it’s clearly made a deep impression on him anyway, no doubt in large part thanks to Peck’s haunted performance as a man for whom fame has become a trap and the reasons for that fame a source of shame that stands between him and the righteous, settled life he wants to live. It’s yet another 1950 Western that signaled a shift in the genre. Drawing on noir, it helped set the stage for a decade filled with haunted men shadowed by a past they can only dream of escaping. (Available to stream on Peacock and Tubi.)
23.
Dead Man (1995)
That same sense of fatalism hangs over every frame of Jim Jarmusch’s journey through an old, weird American West, which alternates between gritty revisionist sequences and increasingly surreal passages as it sends a Cleveland-born accountant named William Blake (Johnny Depp) on a journey toward death. Along the way he encounters everyone from a pitiless industrialist played by Robert Mitchum to a cross-dressing trader played by Iggy Pop — and, most importantly, a Native American man named Nobody (Gary Farmer) who guides him on his journey in part because he suspects Blake is the reincarnation of the poet who shares his name. A languorous Neil Young score sets the tone for a film in which Jarmusch uses starkly beautiful black-and-white images, dry humor, and Depp’s deadpan performance to create a dreamlike journey beyond the boundaries of Old West myths. (Available to stream on Max.)
22.
7 Men From Now (1956)
The first Budd Boetticher, Burt Kennedy, and Randolph Scott collaboration set the pattern for those that followed, and a high standard for them to match. Boetticher reportedly described their unifying feature as common setup: “Here comes Randy. He’s alone. What’s his problem?” Here Randy’s problem’s especially tough. Once the sheriff of Silver Springs, he now hunts for the seven men responsible for a robbery that left his wife dead, a pursuit that puts him in conflict with a tough character played by Lee Marvin and a young married couple whom he suspects might not survive their journey West without his help. Whether or not that’s his problem proves central to the plot, and more complicated than it first appears. The subsequent twists allow Boetticher and his collaborators to explore the complex matter of what it means to live justly in a dangerous world while still surviving to see the next day — a question they try to answer with this and the brisk, action-packed, but always reflective films that followed, rarely arriving at any easy answers. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
21.
A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
The film that made Clint Eastwood a movie star, revealed Sergio Leone as a peerless stylist, and inspired hundreds (thousands?) of imitators, this breakthrough Spaghetti Western offers a bloody, enthralling reinterpretation of the American Western as viewed from afar, with a plot on loan from Akira Kurosawa’s samurai hit Yojimbo. (The cultural exchange between Kurosawa and the Western didn’t end with The Magnificent Seven.) Eastwood plays the Man With No Name (though he’s known here as “Joe”), the character he’d spin variations on in the film’s two (loosely connected) follow-ups. A drifter and gifted gunslinger, he strolls into a town controlled by two warring factions and proceeds to play them against each other to his own benefit, saying as little as possible and letting them make assumptions about his plans. Though he ultimately takes a stand for good, the Man With No Name seems happily amoral for much of the film, less a white-hatted good guy than a disillusioned anti-hero with no interest in propping up a corrupt system or the men who run it. It’s no wonder the ’60s embraced him and Leone’s irreverent, thrilling take on the genre, one scored by Ennio Morricone’s equally groundbreaking music. (Available to stream on Max.)
20.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949)
Playing older than his years, John Wayne stars in the middle chapter of John Ford’s Cavalry Trilogy (sandwiched between Fort Apache and Rio Grande) as a soon-to-retire captain whose final days in service find him reflecting on what it all meant as he tries to prevent a new outbreak of fighting in the days after Custer’s defeat at Little Bighorn. Shooting in stunning Technicolor in his favorite location, Utah’s Monument Valley, Ford fills the film with lyrical passages while valorizing a soldier whose primary concern is preventing bloodshed rather than facilitating it. Short on plot but no less memorable for it, the film inspired critic Dave Kehr to call it “perhaps the only avant-garde film ever made about the importance of tradition.” (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
19.
Shane (1953)
The fundamental conflict at the heart of the classic Western pits civilization against lawlessness and the notion that might makes right against order and justice. But not all those who fought to make the West safe for law-abiding citizens got to live in the world they helped shape. Characters who realize they have no place in the changing West float through many of the greatest Westerns (including a bunch further up, and atop, this list).
If there’s an archetypal version of that character, it’s Shane, the hero of George Stevens’s film of the same name. Played by Alan Ladd, Shane has a past he’d rather not talk about but sees the possibility of a better future in the Wyoming Territory, where settlers find themselves harassed by a land baron with no respect for their legal claims on the land. It’s there Shane befriends a local family (headed by Van Heflin and Jean Arthur) and tries to put his gunfighting ways behind him but is forced to call upon his old skills for the sake of his new friends and the life they’re trying to forge.
Stevens makes beautiful use of location photography while asking whether it will be a plough or a gun that defines the West in the years that come. A veteran of World War II, Stevens returned from the conflict determined never to make movies that glorified violence. Even while making Shane’s choices seem unavoidable, Ladd brings a tragic heaviness to his defense of the settlers and a sense that even necessary violence goes against what’s best in the human spirit. The final shot is one of the Western’s most famous images — and one of its saddest. (Available to stream on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.)
18.
3:10 to Yuma (1957)
A similar conflict between a desire to live a quiet, settled life and the need to do whatever it takes to survive plays out in Delmer Daves’s 3:10 to Yuma (the first adaptation of an Elmore Leonard story that inspired a strong remake in 2007). It even shares a cast member with Shane, Van Heflin, who plays Dan, a rancher who witnesses a stagecoach robbery but just wants to stay out of it. He’s desperate for money, however, and thus susceptible to the promise of a reward for helping ensure that Ben Wade (Glenn Ford, leering but charming) doesn’t escape before boarding a train that will take him to jail for his crimes. As they wait for the train, and the arrival of henchmen determined to set Wade free, the film explores the nature of justice and morality in an untamed land and the possibility of redemption for even the worst of men, all building to an explosive finale that takes some unexpected turns. (Available to stream on Prime Video.)
17.
High Noon (1952)
One of the most divisive of all the classic Westerns, High Noon inspired Howard Hawks to make Rio Bravo because he “didn’t think a good town marshal was going to run around town like a chicken with his head cut off asking everyone to help.” (You’ll find Hawks’s film a little higher on this list, but don’t take that as a slight to High Noon.) Others’ reasons for disliking it were more complicated, wrapped as they were in the politics of the day, which led screenwriter Carl Foreman to leave the country for Britain before its release, rightly assuming he’d soon be blacklisted for failing to cooperate with HUAC. That same political environment undoubtedly inspired the film, in which Marshal Will Kane (Gary Cooper), just as he’s about to retire, discovers that no one will help him against a gang of outlaws out for revenge. Letting the action unfold in something close to real time, director Fred Zinnemann builds the tension slowly, letting Kane’s mounting desperation, rather than gunfights and acts of heroism, push the film along. By the climax, it’s become a drama about a brave man — never mind Hawks’s reading — who learns just how cowardly everyone else can be when they have something to lose, and how quickly a nice town can revert back to savagery no matter how much work has been put into taming it. (Available to stream on MGM+, Paramount+, and Prime Video)
16.
Forty Guns (1957)
Director Samuel Fuller loved big emotions and shocking imagery. Forty Guns unites those passions, pitting a former gunslinger named Griff (Barry Sullivan) against a local landowner who holds power by controlling a cadre of men, the 40 guns of the title. It’s a classic Western setup complicated by the landowner being the commanding and beautiful Jessica Drummond (Barbara Stanwyck), who inflames Griff’s passions and he hers. Fuller fills the film with heated drama and bold flourishes — like a dinner table where Jessica shares a meal with all 40 of her enforcers — as well as some deeply Freudian gun talk with a beautiful gunsmith, a tracking shot that seemingly runs the length of a town, and a showdown filled with extremely tightly close-ups. (Leone was doubtlessly taking notes.) It’s brash and satisfying on every level, from the action scenes to the complex, sexually charged central romance. (Available to stream on Plex and Tubi.)
15.
Johnny Guitar (1954)
Then again, when it comes to sexual chemistry and fluid gender roles, Forty Guns looks pretty tame compared to Nicholas Ray’s Johnny Guitar, released a few years earlier. Joan Crawford plays Vienna, a saloon owner who dominates everyone she meets with her imperious attitude. (“I never met a woman who was more man,” her bartender says.) Well, almost everyone. The film puts Vienna up against Ward Bond’s John McIvers, but McIvers mostly seems to act as a cat’s-paw to Emma (Mercedes McCambridge), who hates and obsesses over Vienna. It’s all quite overheated even before the arrival of the eponymous Johnny Guitar (Sterling Hayden), when director Nicholas Ray turns up the heat even further — almost literally in a fiery climax. The film confused audiences at the time, but it’s rightly emerged as one of Ray’s most daring attempts to push the boundaries of film drama via heightened emotions and brash visuals. In a 2008 appreciation, Roger Ebert dubbed it “one of the most blatant psychosexual melodramas ever to disguise itself in that most commodious of genres, the Western.” Ray discovered just how beautifully the two could fit together. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
14.
My Darling Clementine (1946)
Westerns tell some stories again and again, few as often as the confrontation between the Earps and the Clantons at Tombstone’s O.K. Corral. Though John Ford claimed to have based the fight on Earp’s account, an account Ford heard from Wyatt Earp himself, My Darling Clementine fudges a lot of the details in the interest of good storytelling. Starring Henry Fonda as Wyatt Earp, Ford regular Ward Bond as his brother Morgan, and Victor Mature as “Doc” Holliday, it’s very much a “print the legend” version of the Tombstone story, to borrow a phrase from a later Ford film.
But what a legend: In Ford’s hands, Earp’s story embodies the clash between order and chaos at the heart of the Western, a tale in which the courage of a few brave souls makes the West safe for civilization. Ford shapes it into a film filled with rousing sequences, but also lyrical asides and gentler moments that establish why the struggle matters. The title reveals a lot. Where other versions of the story bear names like Tombstone and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Ford’s emphasizes the character who symbolizes civility and the possibility of a better world to come, even if that world might have no place for men like Earp in it. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
13.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969)
Some films were even more explicit about how changing times left some with nowhere left to call home. Released at the end of a tumultuous decade and deeply concerned with how eras end, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid brings a light touch to a story of a pair of outlaws who find themselves headed toward a dead end they didn’t see coming. Butch (Paul Newman) and Sundance (Robert Redford) have grown accustomed to living well as renegades but find that the closing of the frontier and the arrival of powerful businessmen with the deep pockets to fight back against outlaws have limited their options. Directed by George Roy Hill from a script by William Goldman, it’s a film so charming — those stars help a lot — that its fatalism sneaks up on you. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
12.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
The final entry in Leone’s Dollars trilogy takes everything that’s come before and makes it bigger, bolder, meaner, and even more breathtakingly exciting. Telling the story of three men — played by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach — who alternately team up and betray each other in the hunt for a fortune, the film finds Leone seeing how far he can take his trademark aesthetic. Sometimes it plays like a pop-art Western, reducing the genre’s iconography to its splashiest imagery. Sometimes it plays like the Western as opera, building arias of violence and suspense with editing timed to the rhythms of Ennio Morricone’s score. It’s also ridiculously entertaining from start to finish, packing seemingly everything Leone ever wanted to do with the Western into one movie. Leone wasn’t quite done with the genre, however, as this list will attest. (Available to stream on Max.)
11.
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
John Ford made all sorts of movies, but he kept circling back to the Western. Maybe that’s because he kept finding more to say with the genre, and finding more ways to express himself through it. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance feels like no other Ford film. A return to black-and-white photography on soundstages, it’s a more intimate, psychological drama than Ford’s other Westerns. The choice suits the material, a study in contrasts between two men trying to tame the West: Ranse Stoddard (James Stewart), an idealistic young lawyer, and Tom Doniphon (John Wayne), a tough rancher. Both find themselves at odds with local cattle barons who hire the blackhearted gunfighter Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin) to prevent Stoddard’s attempts to earn statehood for the unnamed Western territory that serves as the film’s setting. The film lets Ford pair two of the Western’s most iconic stars as they play their personas off one another while considering how the stories that shape our understanding of history get written, and who gets forgotten in the process. (Available to stream on MGM+, Paramount+, and Prime Video.)
10.
Meek’s Cutoff (2010)
Kelly Reichardt’s radically unromantic tale of survival on the Oregon Trail sweats the details, focusing on the arduous day-to-day routines involved in moving across the Oregon high desert in search of a better life. It’s a tough existence even when things are going well, and in Meek’s Cutoff they’re not going well at all. A party led by Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) starts to suspect that their leader doesn’t know what he’s doing but does nothing until the situation has already started to spin out of control. Reichardt makes their lives look exhausting, conveying the high stakes that play into every decision and the panic that sets in when those decisions seem to be leading everyone astray. In her second collaboration with Reichardt, Michelle Williams delivers a complex performance as Emily, a woman who seemingly has no say in her fate — at least at first. Reichardt’s film works both as the story of a specific wrong turn with terrible consequences and as an expression of the awful feeling created by following leaders who seem to have lost their way. (She wasn’t done with the genre, either: Reichardt returned to the West just this year with the excellent First Cow, a story of friendship and hardship among two marginal characters watching civilization take over the far frontier.) (Available to stream on Tubi.)
9.
The Naked Spur (1953)
In Anthony Mann’s The Naked Spur, Ralph Meeker plays a character dishonorably discharged from the cavalry on the grounds of being “morally unstable.” (That’s a label that might easily apply to most of the characters in the film, not to mention Mann’s other Westerns.) Meeker plays one of several characters drawn into bounty hunter Howard Kemp’s (James Stewart) attempt to collect an enormous bounty on Ben Vandergroat (Robert Ryan), a murderer and rapist wanted for killing a marshal. Vandergroat’s awful, but Kemp’s no less twisted up inside, driven by revenge, manipulating others into helping him, and unsure what to do about his attraction to Vandergroat’s companion Lina (Janet Leigh), who has conflicts of her own. No one’s purely on the side of good here, and the characters torture each other as Kemp’s obsession grows more intense and his chances to start over begin to dim. Mann and Stewart made eight raw, psychologically complex Westerns together, but none quite match The Naked Spur in intensity, or embody so thoroughly how Mann’s ’50s work transformed the genre. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
8.
Rio Bravo (1959)
Howard Hawks worked in virtually every imaginable film genre, but in each he tended to favor stories about camaraderie between disparate groups of people united for a common cause. In Rio Bravo he found a story he liked so much that he more or less remade it two more times, as El Dorado and Rio Lobo, both of which also starred John Wayne and both scripted, like Rio Bravo, by Leigh Brackett. Here, Wayne plays the wonderfully named Sheriff John T. Chance, whose defense of his drunken friend Dude (Dean Martin) pits him against some less-than-law-abiding ranchers. The film builds to an exciting climax but takes its time getting there, letting Chance and Dude rebuild their relationship as Dude crawls out from under the bottle; bringing in colorful supporting characters played by Ricky Nelson, Angie Dickinson, and others; and occasionally pausing the action for a song or two. Yet Hawks never wastes a moment. It’s the time spent getting to know Rio Bravo’s characters that lets us worry about their fates, and that reveals what matters most to them in the life they’re fighting to protect and the laws they’re determined to uphold. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)

The Wild Bunch (1969)
Released the same year as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, a far more genial if no less doom-laced story of outlaws facing the end of the road as the Old West era draws to a close, Sam Peckinpah’s landmark Western attracted controversy for its graphic violence, some of it depicted in agonizing detail through slow motion. Was he making audiences consider the ugliness of taking a life? Making bloodshed look disturbingly beautiful? Could he be doing both at once? Ugly, brutal, but not without its dark allure, this was the vision of the West that Peckinpah had been building toward since Ride the High Country. Here he populates the film with a band of outlaws, led by William Holden and Ernest Borgnine, charming enough to make it easy to forget — at least for long stretches — how they make their living and why they’ve come into such dire straits as they try to make one last score before calling it a day. Yet beneath the violence and gritty atmosphere — aspects of the film that would be much imitated in the years that followed — The Wild Bunch builds a story about how honor matters even to those on the wrong side of the law, and the ways even bad men can be haunted by the moments during which they’ve let greed and fear overwhelm their sense of duty. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
6.
Red River (1948)
Like Rio Bravo, Red River is a film only Howard Hawks could have pulled off. Set largely during a long, troubled cattle drive from Texas to Abilene, the film stars John Wayne as Thomas Dunson, a cattle rancher with a tragic past who grows increasingly stern and unforgiving as the drive progresses. As he threatens to turn into an Old West Ahab, his adopted son Matt (Montgomery Clift) grows increasingly concerned, and more resistant to his authority, until a confrontation becomes inevitable and a tragedy the likely outcome. Ultimately, however, Hawks has other plans, and it’s Red River’s humanity — in addition to its sweeping action — that makes it extraordinary. Hawks plays with Wayne’s persona, drawing out the shadows beneath his heroic persona while also emphasizing its tender side via Dunson’s relationship with Matt. It’s one of the most complex characters Wayne would ever play, and here he gets to play it against a backdrop of tremendous danger that threatens to destroy everything he’s built — or push him to tear it apart himself. (Available to stream on MGM+, Pluto TV, and Tubi.)
5.
McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971)
Many of Robert Altman’s films, particularly in his first run of success in the early ’70s, find him putting his own spin on famous genres, be it the detective film or the war movie. With McCabe & Mrs. Miller Altman turned his attention to the Western and made one like no other before, a wistful, funny, heartbreaking film about one man’s doomed pursuit of happiness in the remote Washington town of Presbyterian Church. Warren Beatty plays McCabe, a drifter and fast-talker who falls in with, and falls in love with, Mrs. Miller (Julie Christie), a madam who offers to improve business at his low-rent brothel. They find success, but their newfound wealth attracts the attention of a mining company that initially wants to buy him out but uses even stronger tactics to take what it wants. Filmed in snowy Vancouver and set to some of the most melancholy songs Leonard Cohen ever recorded, the film lets a sense of fatalism hang over even its lightest moments. Beatty plays McCabe as a character too charming to lose all the time, but destined to lose big when he does. His short time on top in Presbyterian Church captures the freedom and possibilities of the American frontier, and the promise of America itself. His fate suggests that there might be less to that promise than advertised. (Available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Google Play.)
4.
Stagecoach (1939)
Is there such a thing as a perfect movie? If not, Stagecoach comes pretty close. John Ford’s film made a star of John Wayne as the Ringo Kid, a fugitive from the law who’s called upon to protect a stagecoach traveling through dangerous territory. That it contains nothing less than a cross section of Old West humanity — from an alcoholic doctor to pregnant Army wife to a prostitute and so on — suggests that Ford has ambitions beyond merely staging an exciting story. Stagecoach works first as just that, but it brilliantly weaves its characters’ personal journeys into the action as the journey becomes ever more perilous. This was Ford’s first trip to Monument Valley, which would become his favorite Western location, and his first important collaboration with Wayne, whose onscreen presence he’d help shape and change over the years, giving him more complicated characters as he aged. Here he lets him play the white-hatted hero to tremendous effect in the middle of one of the most influential Westerns ever made, a tremendously entertaining, richly realized film that laid the groundwork for Ford’s future efforts in the genre and inspired countless others to take the Western in new directions. (Available to stream on Pluto TV, Prime Video, and Tubi.)
3.
Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)
After completing the Dollars trilogy, Leone returned to the Western minus his signature star but with a renewed sense of ambition, twisting together an epic story of greed and revenge bigger than anything he’d attempted before. Charles Bronson plays a gunslinger known only as Harmonica (thanks to his musical instrument of choice) who’s locked into a battle of wills with Frank (Henry Fonda), a merciless hired gun with whom Harmonica has a mysterious history. Without losing his trademark dark humor, Leone couples the stylistic bravado of the film’s predecessors to a sense of tragic somberness, focusing on the sacrifices asked by the West and what gets lost as history moves on. He also brings a sense of patience, letting the story play out at a stately pace (at least in the director’s preferred cut) and giving space to co-stars Claudia Cardinale and Jason Robards to develop what might otherwise have been stock characters. It’s audacious, too, casting Fonda as not just a bad guy but a sadist and opening with a wordless showdown for which the term “slow burn” is an understatement. It’s Leone’s masterpiece, the film in which he packed everything he wanted to say about the West and its myths. (Available to stream on MGM+, Paramount+, and Prime Video .)
2.
Unforgiven (1992)
In his Best Picture–winning 1992 film, Clint Eastwood plays William Munny, a gunfighter who, inspired by his late wife, has abandoned his old ways for the righteous life of a farmer. Financial troubles compel him to again take up bounty hunting so he can collect a reward posted by a group of prostitutes, who are seeking justice after a pair of ranch hands mutilate one of their own. Working from a screenplay that he’d held on to until he had aged enough to play Munny, Eastwood delivers a meditative, morally complex Western filled with characters who sometimes commit awful acts for righteous reasons, those who commit horrific crimes for no reason at all, and those who just do what they have to do to survive. Munny has been, at varying points, all of the above, and he’s haunted by each experience. It’s left him wondering what all the killing he’s seen and done means, if it means anything at all. Eastwood dedicated Unforgiven to the two directors who’d most shaped his career: Sergio Leone and Don Siegel, neither a stranger to this list. But while their influence can still be seen in Unforgiven, it’s an Eastwood film in every frame, the culmination of his career-long relationship with the genre, and his mixed emotions about the way it mixes heroic iconography, violence, and the sense that a man with a gun can deliver justice. (Available to stream on Apple TV.)
1.
The Searchers (1956)
John Wayne and John Ford made great movies — together and apart — after The Searchers, but that doesn’t make it any less of a culmination. Both had worked in, and thought about, the Western for years by the time they shot this haunting film. Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, a man driven by a hate that’s inflamed when Comanches murder Ethan’s brother and other members of his family before kidnapping his two nieces. Ethan and his companions soon find one, Lucy, dead. The other, Debbie (Natalie Wood), they can’t find at all, leading Ethan to scour the West for her as he becomes increasingly twisted by his rage.
Wayne delivers a terrifying performance as a lost soul who uses revenge to excuse the darkness and prejudice already inside him. Through that prejudice, Ford began to address the genre’s treatment of Native Americans, not by softening the actions of the Comanches but by having Ethan respond to monstrous acts with even more monstrous behavior. In one chilling scene, he mutilates a corpse, thus condemning his victim, by Comanche belief, to travel the afterlife blind. But as Martin Scorsese observes in his documentary A Personal Journey Through American Movies, Ethan is just placing his own curse on the corpse because “he’s a drifter, doomed to wander between the winds.”

I first saw this film when still at school, in my final year. At that time, I thought it was a passable "western" but it lacked the Hollywood glitz to which I'd become accustomed and acculturated.
Fifty years haven't dimmed my appreciation of the story and film, but those years have readjusted my focus on the quality and veracity of the production. By today's digital standards, the colour saturation is just too pronounced, but given the times, it was ideal to convey the stark contrasts of the Australian outback the parched land, the unrelenting sun and the tough times experienced by the settlers.
The story is basic: two brothers get caught up in cattle rustling with Captain Starlight (Peter Finch) who gets caught eventually, while the brothers escape to go off to the Bendigo gold fields to make honest money, they hope. Unhappily for them, they get embroiled in a bank robbery staged by Starlight and his gang and, once again, are on the run, one and all.
And, that sets up the final action sequence whereby a large body of troopers attacks the mountain hideout of Starlight's gang, with inevitable results. That shootout is still one of the finest ever put to film: realistic and beautifully photographed from many camera angles, providing the viewer a box seat of what such a battle must be like.
Peter Finch acts superbly: witty, urbane, considerate, competent and very tough all in one. Who really knows what the real Starlight was like, the one who actually roamed and robbed the areas around southern Queensland and northern New South Wales? I think Finch pulls off a reasonable portrayal.
The rest of the cast is adequate to very good, with Maureen Swanson the standout performer as Kate Morrison, the woman spurned by Dick Marston (Ron Lewis); not a woman to be tossed aside, as he finds out. David McCallum, in his fifth movie, plays the other brother, Jim Marston who gets involved with Kate's sister, Jean (Jill Ireland).
As a piece of Australiana, it's worth the time to see. As a story about the bush ranging days of early Australia, it has its moments, particularly the final shootout.
Recommended for all.

Alexander Baron was an author and screenwriter whose most acclaimed works captured and reflected his real-life experiences of warfare and the grittier aspects of life in London in the early 20th century. He was born Joseph Alexander Bernstein on 4 December 1917 in Maidenhead, but his family moved to Hackney a short time later. His father was a Polish-Jewish immigrant who originally settled in London in 1908 and eventually changed the family name to Baron; Alexander formally adopted the new surname in 1948.
Baron was a politically active man during the 1930s. He helped organise the Labour League of Youth, a group tied to the Communist Party of Great Britain, to campaign against fascism in the East End, and he edited the Young Communist League magazine, Challenge. However, Baron became increasingly disenchanted with far-left politics following the Hitler-Stalin Pact in August 1939 and broke ties with the Communist party following the end of World War II.
In the final months of 1939, Baron enlisted in the British Army and served in the Pioneer Corps. He was among the first Allied troops to land in Sicily during the Italian campaign and in Normandy on D-Day. He was injured towards the end of the war and was transferred as an instructor to a British Army training camp in Northern Ireland in 1945. He finally returned to London in 1946 and became the editor of the journal New Theatre.
Baron published his first and most acclaimed novel, From the City, From the Plough, in 1948. This book depicts the events leading up to D-Day and the Normandy campaign, and it is clear Baron drew from his personal experiences fighting on the front lines when writing this work. His military service and time as an instructor informed the themes of his other war-based novels, including There’s No Home (1950) and The Human Kind (1953).
Baron’s novels explored a number of themes, such as the relationship and place of the individual in society, relations between men and women, and aspects of London life. His most prevalent book about London was The Lowlife (1963) which explores the underground society of London’s East End.
In addition to his novels, Baron wrote film, television and radio scripts. He served as a regular writer on the BBC’s Play for Today, A Family at War series and drama programmes such as Poldark. He also wrote adaptions of literary classics such as Oliver Twist, Jane Eyre and Vanity Fair. In 1992, Baron was elected an Honorary Fellow of Queen Mary, University of London, in recognition of his contribution to the historical and social understanding of East London.
On 4 August 1960, Baron married Delores Lopes-Salzedo (1928-2012?), an advertising copywriter. They had one son. Alexander Baron passed away on 6 December 1999.

Mike's Take On the Movies

Going in to this Jack Lee directed flick, I assumed, based on the title that I was set to watch one of those British Noir/Gangster films of the period that I so enjoy. This time with Peter Finch in the lead. What I got was far from it. As it turns out I embarked on an entertaining coming of age Aussie western filmed on location with Finch playing a key role yet a secondary one. The real stars of the film are a pair of youngsters played by Ronald Lewis and David McCallum who fall in with a gang of cattle thieves led by Finch and Laurence Naismith who plays their father.
The year is 1865, the land is vast and baron. Lewis and McCallum are just coming off earning some honest wages and intend to spend it in the nearest town. Things go sideways when they make a decision to team with the aging Naismith in a large scale cattle rustling operation led by Finch that has them branding and driving a large stolen herd six hundred miles to market. One step ahead of a constable on their trail.
So far so good and after the pay off the boys leave the outlaw life and catch a schooner for Melbourne. On board they’ll will meet two sisters played by the fiery Maureen Swanson and the girl next door type, Jill Ireland. Lewis who plays his part with an Errol Flynn devil may care swagger possesses a fondness for both trouble and the ladies immediately takes to Miss Swanson and she’s more than receptive to his charms. While the pair embark on a tempestuous relationship, it’s a love at first sight romance for the quiet younger brother David and the genteel Jill.
But the past will haunt the boys when news of Finch’s arrest reaches them and they’re implicated in the theft. They’ll ditch the ladies and are back on the run heading to the hideout in the outback where they’ll reconnect with Naismith and the newly escaped Finch.
“We’re all committed men now.”
Stagecoach’s are the new target for easy cash but again the boys lose their taste for the life of an outlaw and will again leave Finch and Naismith behind in pursuit of riches in a newly discovered gold rush. It’s here that the pair will take on new identities and as fate would have it reconnect with the ladies. For the mild mannered David and Jill, it’s a time to renew their love for each other. For Lewis and Swanson it’s a time to renew their stormy romance full of jealousy where Swanson is concerned.
The goal is to dig up enough color and set sail for America taking Jill along now that she and David are married and Swanson when the time is right. This will become a major plot point as the film heads into the final reel.
So just when things look to be headed in their favor with a bankroll in hand, Finch and his gang ride into the boomtown with one thought in mind. The bank that houses the gold dust. It’s at this point things are going to turn sour for the boys ruining their plans for a life in the new world.
It’s a harsh take no prisoners final thirty odd minutes with a twist or two I really hadn’t expected. This only added to the realism and my admiration for the film based on a novel by Rolf Boldrewood first published in 1882. Little did I know this was an oft filmed novel dating back to the silent era (twice) and as recent as 1985 with Sam Neill in the Finch role.
Finch as Captain Starlight reminded me of the aging William Holden’s Pyke in Peckinpah’s Wild Bunch. The future Oscar winner, Finch, commands much the same way and knows there’s only one way this lifestyle will play out but that it will come to an end on his own terms.
Finch may have scored first billing but the film belongs to the younger Ronald Lewis not only looks like the hell raiser Flynn but seems to have channeled his spirit playing the part of the youngster tempted by the both the ladies and the exciting life of an outlaw. Aside from appearing in a couple of thrillers for Hammer (Stop Me Before I Kill & Scream of Fear) I’m not all that familiar with the career of Lewis and was saddened to learn he took his own life at the age of 53.
Character actor Naismith is one of those “faces” you’re sure to recognize. And why not. He’s appeared in most anything from Bela Lugosi’s Vampire Over London, opposite Olivier in Richard III to Harryhausen’s The Valley of Gwangi. I also enjoyed his recurring role on the short lived series The Persuaders with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. Born in England, he even squeezed in episodes of Bonanza, The Invaders and The Fugitive on to his resume. Not bad.
Of course the real trivia here for me is the appearance of Jill Ireland and her then husband David McCallum. They’d also appear in the superior, Hell Drivers, released the same year. Then in 1960 costarred once again in Jungle Street Girls. Jill would also guest in a number of Man From U.N.C.L.E. episodes opposite David and Robert Vaughn.
But it’s David’s appearance in the 1963 classic, The Great Escape, that brought the couple into contact with Charles Bronson who was steadily climbing up the ladder of success. According to legend Bronson jokingly told David that he would someday steal Jill away and marry her. It’s also interesting to note that David appeared in an episode of the TV series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters opposite cast regular Bronson. I’d be curious to know if Jill was on set for that shoot as well.
A side note on that…… If you’ve never seen Kurt Russell talk about giving Bronson a present for his birthday on the set of that TV show, youtube the Russell interview. Hilarious and it’s in keeping with the Bronson persona.
Five years later following her divorce from McCallum, Bronson, did just that and Jill became the mustached icon’s most frequent costar ending with her premature death at 54 following a lengthy and courageous battle against breast cancer.
A first time viewing for me, this version of Robbery Under Arms offered up a solid piece of entertainment with a great musical score, a vast location shoot and a cast worthy of your time. Recommended. Where to find it? I happened across a DVD released by VCI Entertainment.

p.433. Robbery Under Arms was acclaimed as an Australian classic almost immediately after it appeared in book form in the late 1880s. It was praised for its excitement, romance and authentic picture of 1850s colonial life. As the first writer to attempt a long narrative in the voice of an uneducated Australian bushman, Rolf Boldrewood had created a story with enduring cultural resonance. Its continuing appeal and popularity have seen the tale frequently adapted for stage, radio, film and television.

Dick Marston narrates the events of his and his brother Jim's association with notorious bushranger Captain Starlight.

en
|
https://www.austlit.edu.au/austlit/page/C252884
|
'This article examines a range of colonial Australian Irish bushranger narratives in terms of their investments in revolutionary republicanism, arguing that these become increasingly contested and compromised over time. Beginning with the anonymously published novel Rebel Convicts (1858), it looks at how the fate of transported Irish revolutionaries is imagined in relation to colonial settlement and the convict system. It then turns to Ned Kelly’s Jerilderie Letter (c. 1879), highlighting Kelly’s rhetoric of resistance and mapping his affinities with Irish American republicanism. John Boyle O’Reilly was a Fenian activist, transported to Western Australia in 1867. His novel Moondyne (1878, 1879), rather than unleashing an Irish revolutionary political agenda, is based instead on an English-Catholic bushranger, and its interest in republicanism is in any case displaced from its Australian setting. Ned Kelly’s execution in 1880 gave rise to a new wave of popular narratives, including James Skipp Borlase’s The Iron-Clad Bushranger (1881), which fictionalises Kelly’s career – embroiling him in Irish Fenian plots – and recasts his political affiliations as criminal characteristics. Rolf Boldrewood’s Robbery Under Arms (1882–3) was also published in the wake of the Kelly saga but is notable for its political conservatism, stripping its Irish-Catholic bushrangers of their revolutionary potential to better serve the interests of a powerful pastoral elite. This conservatism is both challenged and magnified in Rosa Praed’s Outlaw and Lawmaker (1893), which celebrates the career of John Boyle O’Reilly while also re-directing his political radicalism into romance. The article concludes that the revolutionary figure of the Irish bushranger is gradually divorced from any radical agency and relegated to a remote chapter of colonial Australia’s history.'

Australian bushranger movie. The first filmed version of Rolf Boldrewood's 'Robbery Under Arms' novel.
|
en
|
https://letterboxd.com/film/robbery-under-arms-1907/
|
Up to this point in film history everything was around 8 minutes long or shorter. The first “feature length“ film was “The Story of the Kelly Gang “ from 1906 followed by this film in 1907. They are both westerns with good hearted outlaws and amazingly, Australian. Neither one is very good but both are important first steps. This one suffers from having equal amounts of film and inter-titles. Everything had to be explained instead of telling the story visually. But hey. Baby steps people. We’re moving closer and closer to Hollywood and movie stars and “film”.

Robbery Under Arms was adapted from the classic Australian book of the same name written by Rolf Boldrewood, the pen-name for Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915). The subtitle of the book, A Story of Life and Adventure in the Bush and in the Goldfields of Australia, represents a fair summary of the drama, which has often caught the imagination of filmmakers. Before this 1985 version there had been five attempts to tell this story, the best known being the Australian–British feature film of 1957 starring Peter Finch as Captain Starlight.
The latest version has fine performances from Sam Neill as the elusive Captain Starlight with Steve Vidler and Chis Cummins as the wild colonial Marston boys. As well as evoking the difficult lives of frontier women, British imperialism is juxtaposed with the Irish Catholic colonial spirit. The issue of race is explored through the fraternal relationship between Captain Starlight and Warrigal (Tommy Lewis), an Aboriginal Australian, a relationship not so clearly defined in the 19th century novel.
No expense was spared with this lush recreation of colonial Australia during the gold rush era of the mid-19th century. The South Australian Film Corporation found half of the large budget of $7.3 million which was to be offset by the double profit opportunity of both a cinema and a television mini-series release. The rest of the budget was raised privately. The shooting took place over 20 weeks during 1984 and was filmed entirely in South Australia in the Flinders Ranges, the Adelaide Hills and the saltwater flats northwest of Adelaide.

Okay gang, let’s get down to business. I’d like to get one thing out of the way right at the beginning… this is a list ranking “heist movies,” not the heists that are in movies or movies that have heists in them (if it were, we’d include the opening of the original The In-Laws, where the big magnet on the crane picks the armored car up off the road and hauls it away to be raided).
I’d like to make this distinction at the outset because, also, some movies which seem to centrally feature heists are not actually “heist films,” but capers, which are ultimately their own genre, despite many similarities. We will be releasing an accompanying list of the Best Capers shortly after this one, so if you don’t see a film with a great heist in it, keep your shirts on, because it’s probably on the other list.
Okay, so what IS a heist movie? Good question! It’s a movie whose plot and theme centers around a large heist, or a series of heists. But “heists” have to play the weightiest roles in their films; a movie in which there are, say, a whole slew of bank robberies, but the whole thing is ultimately about the relationships between fathers and sons, is not a heist movie (in case anyone remembers The Place Beyond the Pines and thinks it belongs on this list, which it doesn’t).
And actually, I should just explain now why you won’t see The Sting or Hustlers on this list: a heist isn’t a con, either, even if it’s a Big Con. Indeed, Merriam-Webster defines “heist” as a straight-up robbery. In case you’re wondering, although we will get to this later, the dictionary defines “Caper” as an “amusing movie or story about… an illegal or questionable act or escapade” which is not necessarily limited to a robbery but probably is a robbery. Heists are action-packed, serious, and while they can be fun and there will certainly be moments of comic relief, these films are frequently on the darker side.
Indeed, many heist movies are also about failed heists, which begs some further clarification. A movie about a failed heist is a certified heist movie if the “heist” part is the main part. If the movie is mostly about some element surrounding a failed heist, like The Usual Suspects, or uses the setting of the failed heist to tell another kind of story, like Dog Day Afternoon or Goodfellas, it’s not on this list. Also, just to warn you, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is not on this list. It’s not a heist movie. I don’t make the rules.
Most importantly, heist movies frequently feature ensemble casts—these are often movies about working together as team, and splitting the prize. Partially because heists are often too difficult for one person to handle, and partially because the point of the heist is rounding up a crew of motley, misfit criminal savants with disparate skills and connections.
So, without further ado, let’s blow this popsicle stand.
50. Ocean’s Eight (2018)
The all-women Ocean-franchise reboot, Ocean’s Eight is a disaster, a heist movie full of squandered talent (Sandra Bullock! Cate Blanchett! Rihanna! Anne Hathaway! Awkwafina! Mindy Kaling! Helena Bonham Carter! Sarah Paulson! I’m irate!) that does nothing original and also tries to be way too contemporary, and, dare I say, feminine with its choice of target: the group robs the Met Gala. They steal a priceless Cartier necklace that they’ve managed to get on loan for the event, and then all the historic jewelry on exhibit in the galleries. Which is not the same as robbing casinos owned by tycoons, my friends. Robbing museums is kind of off-limits in these movies. (Hey, if you want to make a movie calling out how Western museums justify looting and inhumane mining practices, I’m here for it, but Ocean’s Eight is not that smart.) It’s boring. It’s not good. And also, for a movie that’s supposed to be propelled by so much girl power, there’s a really silly subplot all about getting revenge on Sandra Bullock’s ex, Richard Armitage. Just… no.
49. Now You See Me (2013)
Featuring an all-star cast which includes Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, this is a movie about four magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco) who team up to rob banks. How do they do it? Don’t know— the movie doesn’t reveal their secrets. This is infuriating because of one of the essential aspects of the Heist Film is to capture all the clever, outside-the-box scheming that goes into planning and executing a robbery. And movies about magic shows have that responsibility, in spades. Film isn’t a means to stealthily bypass or conceal praxis, it’s a way to expand the spectacle and then offer a visual explanation. Movies that chalk up their impossible feats to “sleight of hand” without showing you the goods are nothing but a con. There’s a sequel, but I’m not watching it.
48. Now You See Me 2 (2016)
Okay, well, I watched it. This time, the gang (minus Isla Fisher, plus Lizzy Caplan, plus also Daniel Radcliffe) has to steal a powerful chip that can control all the computers in the world. That’s right. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are back, but all the magic in the world can’t save this one. It’s actually worse than the first one, so why is it higher on the list? Because I’m punishing the first one for pulling a franchise out of its hat.
Sophia Coppola’s The Bling Ring, which is based on true events, tells of wealthy, celebrity-obsessed teenagers in Los Angeles who break into and plunder famous people’s homes and wear around their stuff. The movie tries to find depth in shallowness and doesn’t come close to striking it rich. Plus I personally found it unsettling to watch Emma Watson playing a non-nerd.
46. Heist (2015)
So, Heist seems like it’s about how Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Dave Bautista rob Robert De Niro’s casino, but then you find out it’s about how this plan fails and they have to hijack a bus full of people instead. So you start to think that the actual heist in the title is of “people” and not money, but then eventually you realize that the only hostage is actually 93 minutes of your day.
45. The Art of the Steal (2013)
Kurt Russell plays an art thief named “Crunch Calhoun” in this Canadian ensemble film that seems to have been jokingly named after Donald Trump’s book? Anyway, he and his brother Nicky Calhoun (Matt Dillon) are out for one last haul. The interesting thing about this movie is that (beyond stealing the title of a terrible book), the loot they want to steal is actually an old book. These are my only takeaways. These two different things about books and the name “Crunch Calhoun.”
44. Tower Heist (2011)
The actual heist of Tower Heist has very justifiable premise: payback! A bunch of normal guys discover that their superrich boss Alan Alda has been operating a Ponzi scheme, and since he’s managed their pension funds, has totally screwed them over. He gets arrested, but the case against him is not airtight, so the crew (Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Casey Affleck, Michael Peña, Gabourey Sidibe, and Matthew Broderick) decides to rob him. I really can’t figure out the target audience for this film—it’s a Ben Stiller movie, but it’s PG-13. I don’t know a single living soul who has seen this movie.
43. The Ladykillers (2004)
The Ladykillers is a strange movie, because it is so extra in its comedy, and so incredibly grim everywhere else. The Coen brothers are normally able to pull off this marriage of highs and lows, absurdity and profundity, lightness and darkness, but The Ladykillers strains and sags instead. Equipped with a Colonel Sanders drawl, Tom Hanks plays a silver-tongued flimflammer named Goldthwait Higgingson D’or who pretends to be a Professor and the conductor of a classical music ensemble in order to rent lodgings in the home of an elderly woman named Marva Munson (Irma P. Hall). He’s actually a bank robber, his musicians are a team of burglars, and the house is perfectly situated to dig a tunnel to the safe room of a riverboat casino. There are some funny moments (shout outs to J.K. Simmons as “Mr. Pancake,” a garrulous burglar with IBS, and Marlon Wayans, a nonstop force of comic energy, and the always-excellent Tzi Ma who does a LOT with a part that isn’t much), but the movie does traffic in racial stereotypes, and also shills an insulting representation of low IQ. Veteran character actress Irma P. Hall deserved better. (Like the original? It’s on our companion list.)
42. Ocean’s 11 (1960)
This original of all the Ocean’s heist movies stars five members of the Rat Pack (Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis, and Dean Martin) as old WWII buddies who gather to rob a ton of casinos in a single night. Which kind of seems just like a regular night for these guys, idk. (After I wrote this joke, I cruised over to the Ocean’s 11 Wikipedia page just for fun, and it informed me in a well-cited footnote that after Sinatra heard the plot he said, “Forget the movie, let’s pull the job!” THE DEFENSE RESTS.) Anyway, I wish it were a better movie. Ultimately it just seems like an excuse for all those guys to hang out in Vegas (didn’t they do this all the time anyway?)
41. The Newton Boys (1998)
Matthew McConaughey, Skeet Ulrich, Ethan Hawke, and Vincent D’Onofrio star in this obscure Richard Linklater flick, about the eponymous Newton Boys, four brothers who deftly robbed banks in 1920s America. Apparently their gang pulled off the greatest train robbery in American history. I’m reluctant to include a “train robbery” movie on this list, because that is a whole other list, but this film is very much about how a person becomes a bank robber, and follows the gang’s evolution as bank robbers as the heists get more and more sophisticated. It’s very much about the robberies at hand, so I have to include it. (In case you’re wondering at this juncture, no, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is not a heist movie, even though banks and trains are also robbed in it.)
40. King of Thieves (2018)
Michael Caine, who will say ‘yes’ to any movie you ask him to make, leads a crew of likeable British senior citizens including Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Paul Whitehouse, and Ray Winstone (plus Charlie Cox) in a major jewelry heist in London, based on actual events. Although the real event was a disaster, the premise is one of those reliably likeable gambits (they’re retired crooks out for One Last Job), and the story eventually becomes a tale of greed and deception. The problem is that for all its conflict, the movie doesn’t seem to have any tension? At all? For a crime that is so high-stakes, the movie is far, far too understated.
39. Flawless (2007)
Michael Caine’s in this one, too. He’s an amicable cockney custodian at a big London diamond company, and Demi Moore is an executive passed over for a promotion way too many times (she’s basically the only woman). When she’s dismissed, Michael Caine pities her and invites her into his scheme to steal just enough diamonds as will make them wealthy, but not so many that they’ll be noticed. Things go wrong, obviously, but these snags don’t make the movie any more exciting. It’s not an exciting movie.
38. The Maiden Heist (2009)
A daffy little movie about three museum guards (Morgan Freeman, William H. Macy, and Christopher Walken) who are dismayed to discover that their favorite pieces of art are being sold to another museum and so decide to steal them before they are shipped away. The sweetness that it represents in the guards’ love for fine art is undercut by the fact that William H. Macy’s appreciation of a particular statue gives him the pathological urge to take his clothes off in front of it. So.
37. Ocean’s Twelve (2004)
I’m always a fan of getting the band back together, but Ocean’s Twelve, the sequel to Steven Soderbergh’s clever Ocean’s Eleven, feels extra contrived in its excuse to do this. It takes place three years after Ocean’s Eleven, and features a very angry Andy Garcia (the villain who was robbed in the original) demanding full payback from the gang. So they need to reunite and pull off an even bigger score, somehow. But this time, an Interpol agent is on their trail, making things a little trickier. To its credit, it does accomplish the hardest thing any sequel can do, which is restore the entire original cast. It adds some new cast members, too, including Vincent Cassel as a smug French cat burglar, who jumps an intricate grid of lasers as effortlessly as that same scene jumps the shark.
36. Fast Five (2011)
It might shock you that there’s only one car chase in this fifth installment of the Fast and Furious series, but it’s true. Part of the franchise’s abandonment of the street-racing narrative of the first three movies, this is the second attempt to make the series about international espionage and stuff. In this one, former cop Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster have helped break Vin Diesel out of jail, and they’re on the run. Settling in Rio, and problematically noticed by a Brazilian drug lord, as well as tough-as-nails federal agent Dwayne Johnson, they decide to pull off a giant heist to secure enough cash to split for good.
35. Ocean’s Thirteen (2007)
The third in Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy is tighter than the second—a little less far-fetched, and it returns the franchise to home turf of Vegas and sets them at work defrauding another unscrupulous casino owner. It’s Al Pacino, which is fun, and he seems to have a good time chewing up the Strip scenery as a real-estate developer so underhanded and unprincipled that all the other villains from the previous movies show up and it doesn’t matter because he’s still much worse.

34. Ant-Man (2015)
Incredibly, yes, Ant-Man is a heist movie. And there are two heists in it! One at Avengers HQ and one at Pym Technologies. Including Ant-Man on this list almost feels like cheating, because it is really a heist if you can shrink to the size of a paper clip and squeak inside places easily?
33. The Score (2001)
This suave heist movie has Robert De Niro playing an older thief who wants to get out of the game, but is persuaded by his even older fence Marlon Brando (in his final film role) to take One Last Job. But he has to collaborate with arrogant young thief Edward Norton to do it. Only thing is… they don’t like one another and this probably will lead to some big development. Points given for a fantastic tagline: “there are no partners in crime.” Wow that’s good.
32. The Good Thief (2002)
One of many heist movies about American thieves in France, this stars Nick Nolte as an aging, heroin-addicted thief who needs to pull One Last Job. Based on Jean-Pierre Melville’s classic Bob le Flambeur, it’s directed by Neil Jordan and features unbeatable shots of Nice, France at night, lit up in neon.
31. The Italian Job (2001)
This is a decent, healthy remake of the original Italian Job (look for the original on our other list) that keeps almost nothing from its predecessor except the name “Charlie Croker” and the soul of the heist, which is a van robbery accomplished by creating a massive traffic jam and executed using mini Coopers. It features some lovely camerawork and production design (I really do love movies set among the wilting, sinking palazzos of Venice), and a mustachioed Edward Norton as the villain.
30. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
The movie that made Guy Ritchie Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham Jason Statham! A rigged game of three-card brag leaves four best friends seriously indebted to a local gangster, and in order to pay up, they decide to rob the gang who lodge next door. Sting, of all people, is also in this movie.
29. Ronin (1998)
Come for the heist story, stay for the elegant car chases through several French cities. Veritable, this movie might have the best car-chase camerawork on this list, if not the best cinematography, which was completed by legendary DP Robert Fraisse. Directed by John Frankenheimer, it’s about a group of former special-ops agents who are tasked with stealing a briefcase. But the real trouble is figuring out who among them remains loyal to the rest. Robert De Niro’s in this one, too.
28. The Bank Job (2005)
The Bank Job is a smooth, very classic, really smart heist film. Saffron Burrows recruits Jason Statham to rob a bank in London—in particular, a room full of safe deposit boxes. But safe deposit boxes don’t only contain money, do they? And before they know it, they get much more than they bargained for. Wear a turtleneck when you watch it, and you’ll have a very swanky evening.
27. Baby Driver (2017)
Baby Driver might be my personal least favorite of Edgar Wright’s films, but there’s no denying it’s tactical excellence. Baby is a very young getaway driver with highway skills that would make Charlie Croker’s head turn, who has been brought into a crime operation as a teenager and gets in far too deep when a heist goes wrong. The stunts are incredible, but the film doesn’t seem to know when to end. Speaking of endings, watching a movie that is so much about ‘soundtrack’ and plays so much with diegetic/non-diegetic sound, I did spend the whole time waiting for the Simon and Garfunkel song it borrows its title from to play. (It does play, thankfully, but it’s during the credits.)
26. Heat (1995)
Robert De Niro, again! Who do you think is in more heist movies, Robert De Niro, Michael Caine, or Morgan Freeman? It’s gotta be close. Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, and Danny Trejo star in this mid-career Michael Mann thriller about a group of bank robbers who find themselves hunted by federal agent Al Pacino (in peak 90s-weariness) after they botch a job. De Niro has always lived by a credo that he should never get attached… and then he falls in love! I tell ya.
25. Point Break (1991)
Here at CrimeReads, we love the genre known as “surf noir.” And we love Point Break, Kathryn Bigelow’s delightful entry into this canon, about FBI agent Keanu Reeves who must go undercover with a gang of surfers led by Patrick Swayze who are suspected of robbing banks when they’re not hitting the waves. Critically under-appreciated during its time, it has since gained some cult status thanks to the Keanu Reeves stans out there doing the important work. On a different note, it’s a fascinating look at the early career of Bigelow, a stylish film that might have ended up feeling silly if it weren’t for such a steady directorial hand. Is it too high on this list? Almost definitely.
24. Set It Off (1996)
Set It Off’s obscurity is a crime of its own. The story about four black women (Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise) who band together to pull off a series of robberies while being hunted by the cop (John C. Reily) who was involved in the shooting of Jada Pinkett Smith’s brother. The only reason they’re even suspected is because the cop does a whole lot of racial profiling on each of them, and they’re hunted with incredible hatred and violence to the full extent of the law. It’s ending might be the biggest gut-punch on this list, because it’s probably the most realistic.
23. Bottle Rocket (1996)
This inaugural Wes Anderson film is one of the only comedies on this list (generally speaking, if a heist is lighthearted, it’s probably a caper). But, crucially, Bottle Rocket‘s frolicsomeness is not winsome; the failed heists that comprise the film’s plot have real, terrible consequences (including being beaten up by the police and being sent to jail). This film is pretty different in style than what you’ve come to expect from Anderson, but does star Owen and Luke Wilson, so it’ll feel familiar, at least.
22. Sexy Beast (2000)
Ben Kingsley is a sinister ex-gangster who shows up at his ex-mentee Ray Winstone’s retirement pad in Spain with a request to pull off One Last Job. Actually, he’s not really asking, and every time Ray Winstone turns him down (because Ben Kingsley is a psychopath and also by now his nemesis), Ben Kingsley grows more irate and dangerous. Obviously Ray Winstone gives in and begins a strenuous and stressful bank job in London, with expert safe-cracker Ian McShane. But the movie, which is peppered with Ray Winstone’s hallucinogenic dreams of strange beasts coming to kill him, eventually becomes a battle of wits between the two men. It’s a bit overdone for my taste, but man Ben Kingsley is thrilling, if terrifying, to watch.
21. Charley Varrick (1973)
Walter Matthau is never better than when he’s playing a slightly disheveled bureaucrat, and I say this here in a plot description for a movie that has nothing to do with characters like this simply because I think it every time I see Matthau onscreen. I thought this when I watched Charley Varrick, in which he plays a crop duster turned bank robber. The thing is, Matthau has an incredibly wide repertoire, and though he’s most associated with playing a certain kind of chill laconism, he can convey incredible range within this general personality—and the most impressive thing he can do with it is mix it with moral bankruptcy. I’m thinking about his performance in Billy Wilder’s The Fortune Cookie, which got him his Academy Award, but also Charley Varrick. In this film, an inexperienced trio of bank robbers are caught in a terrifying bind when their attempted bank heist turns bloody, and then they discover they’ve stolen cash that the bank has been laundering for the mob. What begins as a heist movie becomes a chase movie, with Matthau keeping and losing his cool in various degrees along the way.
20. Tangled (2010)
I know, I know. You’re probably wondering what Tangled, an animated Disney film based on a fairy tale, is doing on this list ranking the best heist movies of all time. But let me describe the plot of Tangled for you: it’s about a gang of burglars who steal a priceless royal heirloom from a guarded display, and then, when their ringleader, a career thief, double-crosses the other two, and attempts to find a place to stash the loot, he stumbles on a woman who does not realize she is the keeper of another priceless, once-stolen treasure or that she is a kidnapping victim who has spent her whole life held hostage. They flee, pursued by the associates who are determined to re-acquire the stolen goods. There. That is the actual plot of Tangled. A heist movie. How do you like them apples?
19. The Old Man & the Gun (2018)
Because it is so very charming, I’d be inclined call The Old Man & the Gun a caper if it weren’t so bittersweet. The story of real-life serial prison escapee and bank robber Forrest Tucker, this sweet, nostalgic Robert Redford vehicle contains the kindest bank robbery scenes on this list. The film, as a whole, is a lovely homage to Redford’s whole career, one which is filled with men who are kind and loyal despite their shady occupations. You’re right, it isn’t your standard heist film, but it’s on this list because it is so invested in praxis; there are many bank robberies and the film delights in showing you each perfect little detail.
18. Drive (2011)
One of the few films on this list that isn’t about a bank or casino robbery, Drive stars Ryan Gosling as a stuntman and getaway driver for small-time heists. Albert Brooks is wonderful, playing against type as a small-time gangster. And an early-career Oscar Isaac will blow your mind.
17. Thief (1981)
Well, I don’t personally love this very dark James Caan movie because there’s a black market sale *of a baby* that really turns my stomach, but it’s a very well-fashioned thriller, and beautifully-shot; the screen glows with blacks and navy blues. It might be a little too much of a thriller to be a real heist movie, but it’s got a large One Last Job component to it, and that is a bank robbery, so I guess it’s on here. (On another note, I want to add that I do love the casting of Robert Prosky.)
16. The Killing (1956)
In this early Stanley Kubrick number, Sterling Hayden is a career criminal plotting One Last Job before he has enough cash to marry his girlfriend and settle down. He assembles a crack team to help him steal $2 million from a racetrack, which includes a sharpshooter, a wrestler, a cop, and two inside men. But complicating things is that one of the inside men, a betting teller, tells his cheating wife about the plans, and she sends her boyfriend to go steal the money from the gang. You’ll white-knuckle your couch armrest (I assume this is where you’ll be watching it) from start to finish.

15. Hell or High Water (2016)
I loved Taylor Sheridan’s modern neo-noir, heist-western about two brothers (a reserved Chris Pine and a haywire Ben Foster) who rob banks in dusty, desolate Texas to help save their family farm. They’re hunted by two aging rangers, Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham, first for duty, then with purpose. In a movie bursting with memorable, dedicated performances (ahem, Ben Foster drilled out his own tooth to give his character a gap), I remember Katy Mixon’s gutsy waitress the best. And Margaret Bowman, also a gutsy waitress.
14. Reservoir Dogs (1991)
Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut is a harrowing series of flashbacks along the timeline of a jewelry store heist. Set to a radio station’s themed broadcast (“the sounds of the 70s weekend”), this alarming, jarring movie tells the story of the motley gang of thieves, as it forms before the heist and fractures after it, with the thieves looking for a mole among them. The best part, besides every scene with Steve Buscemi, is the visual immersion used to tell Tim Roth’s backstory. And you’ll never hear Steelers’ Wheel’s “Stuck in the Middle with You” the same way again. (I love this movie.)
13. Criss Cross (1949)
Finally, an honest-to-god armored car robbery is on this list! Burt Lancaster and Yvonne DeCarlo (despite her massive filmography, it’s always funny to me, watching her play someone who is not Lily Munster) star in this film about a truck driver who conspires to rob the very truck he is driving, in an attempt to steal his ex-wife away from her current husband. It’s gritty. You’d be hard-pressed to find a movie more gritty and dirty than this one.
12. Bob le Flambeur (1956)
A stylish, noirish heist from Jean-Pierre Melville, this film (made early in Melville’s career) takes its inspiration from American gangster flicks to tell of Bob, an aging, veteran gambler who assembles a crew to rob a casino, after the house cleans him out. The score will be 800 million francs, and the odds are stacked against him.
11. Logan Lucky (2017)
How many Steven Soderbergh films are on this list? A lot. He likes heists. This one features a gang of thieves who pull off a heist during a NASCAR race. I know! So inventive! Siblings Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Riley Keough want to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway, but to do it, they’ll need a crackerjack safecracker. And they know a guy, and his name is Joe Bang. His name is Joe Bang, and he’s played by Daniel Craig, and he’s in prison! So they have to break him out and then rob the speedway. A prison break and a heist in one movie—a high-octane thriller if there ever were one.
10. Rififi (1956)
This classic, Cannes-celebrated French heist film from director Jules Dassin, is a study in perfect maximization; what begins as petty smash-and-grab is turned into an elaborate jewel heist when recently-excarcerated (not a real word, I know) Tony discovers that his former girlfriend has taken up with a mobster during his absence. Featuring French cinema’s original gripping, silent half-hour-long robbery scene, which is the best part. The worst part is when Tony brutally beats up his ex-girlfriend for her new choice of romantic partner.
9. The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)
Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway play in this extremely sleek heist story, about a suave bank executive who believes he’s pulled off the perfect heist, and the tough insurance investigator who knows it and is determined to catch him for it. This movie is so sexy that it’s almost a caper (if a movie has stylish cars, it’s almost certainly a caper), but it contains enough fringe neo-noir elements that keep it grounded on this list. Also, the chemistry between McQueen and Dunaway is real. It’s real. (If you’re looking for the adaptation, look at our Capers list.)
8. The Red Circle (1970)
Another French noirish-heist movie from Jean-Pierre Melville, this is the story of three men (a thief, a prison escapee, and an ex-cop) who plot a jewelry heist together. The engrossing heist itself is an exercise in diligent film-making: totally silent, and basically a half-hour long.
7. Widows (2018)
In this dark and elegant thriller, the widows of four bank robbers who are killed during a botched heist team up to repay their husbands’ debts, but also to make the future they want. Its excellence runs deep. To start off, you FIND me a more dynamic and magnetic central cast than Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Cynthia Erivo, and Elizabeth Debicki. But the real splendor of Widows is in watching these four clever and strong female characters outsmart and outmaneuver the crooks after them. Viola Davis is the group’s leader, and her taking over from her dead husband Liam Neeson offers a symbolic transfer from an old archetype of action-movie hero to a new one.
6. The Town (2010)
Ben Affleck’s best directorial effort, The Town is a compelling story about a veteran bank robber (Affleck) who falls in love with the bank manager (Rebecca Hall) he holds hostage during a heist. Once the heist is over, he pursues her and they fall in love, as he plans his next heist and she deals with the debilitating trauma of what she has experienced. He also has to deal with his loose-cannon partner (Jeremy Renner, fabulously evil) believing that the teller has incriminated them during the heist, and an asshole FBI agent (Jon Hamm) obsessed with bringing them down.
5. Band of Outsiders (1964)
Here at CrimeReads, we really love Band of Outsiders, Jean-Luc Godard’s delicate crime masterpiece made four years after Breathless. Two young men convince the young woman with whom they are both infatuated to commit a small robbery in her own house—stealing 10,000 francs from the man who lives with her aunt. But this love triangle doesn’t effectively produce a linear strategy, and once lines are crossed, things eventually go very wrong. It’s a haunting, transfixing masterpiece. And it has a fascinating dance sequence.
4. Jackie Brown (1997)
I’m sure not everyone agrees with me about placing Jackie Brown higher on this list than Reservoir Dogs but I don’t care—there is more going on in Pam Grier’s performance as an airline stewardess caught by the feds and torn between helping them catch her arms-dealer employer or getting away with her life than in most Tarantino character profiles. One thing that Jackie Brown does better than Reservoir Dogs and most of the heist movies on this list, is show how ensemble jobs are often really about individual insecurities and desires; many of these movies devolve from group dynamics into loner struggles. But Jackie Brown starts out as the story of an individual whose life is specifically endangered by the ensemble that forms around her. Watching Jackie’s deft juggling five other players’ attempts to apprehend the cash she’s smuggling, to look out for herself, is a thrilling, electric inside-out-turn of the genre, one we don’t see played out enough to this extent.
3. Ocean’s Eleven (2001)
The first of the rebooted Ocean’s movies is simply splendid—a dazzling, focused heist with fun twists and fine-tuned showmanship. Part of the fun comes from the squad itself, a collection of personalities from all different kinds of crime movies (my favorite crew member is Carl Reiner, but I also love Bernie Mac). The only thing that miffs me about this movie (this movie which I really do enjoy) is its gratuitous masculinity; this isn’t the 1957 set of Twelve Angry Men, it’s the millennium, and there’s no reason why a bunch of these dudes shouldn’t be women. Swap out Casey Affleck and Scott Caan, easily. If Ocean’s Eleven had done this from the start, there’d be no reason to embark on the whole Ocean’s Eight mess, I’m just saying.
2. Inside Man (2006)
In this heist-hostage film, directed by Spike Lee, Clive Owen has engineered the world’s most brilliant bank robbery, bringing an entire Wall Street Bank and the innocent people inside it under his control. Denzel Washington is the hostage negotiator in charge of the operation, and he’s always one step behind the criminal mastermind calling the shots. But things aren’t moving fast enough to satisfy Christopher Plummer, the head of the bank, who brings in fixer Jodie Foster to negotiate for the return of something of particular value from inside the bank. More confusing is that the thieves seem to be taking their time. If you haven’t seen it, you should watch it. Terence Blanchard does the score. Just watch it.
The Asphalt Jungle (1950)
This tough, sordid John Huston flick provides the original ‘botched bank robbery’ template; Sterling Hayden (another one for the ‘how many heist movies are they in?” drinking game I suppose we’ve been playing) assembles a crew to pull off an ace jewel heist, which goes perfectly according to plan until it doesn’t. Double crosses, clever police adversaries, and general bad luck cause the job to unravel, spinning the gang out into a series of individual escape attempts. Watch it with your friends.

Anchorman Script - Dialogue Transcript
Voila! Finally, the Anchorman script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the movie starring Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Christina Applegate, yadda yadda.. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Anchor Man. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to drop me a line. You won't hurt my feelings. Honest. Swing on back to Drew's Script-O-Rama afterwards for more free movie scripts!
Anchorman Script
There was a time, a time before cable, when the local anchorman reigned supreme, when people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man than the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr, and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls. Mmm. I look good. I mean, really good. Hey, everyone! Come and see how good I look! Mm, ehh, mm. Ribs. I had ribs for lunch. That's why I'm doing this. How now brown cow. How now brown cow. How now brown cow. How are you? You look awfully nice tonight. Hmm? Maybe don't wear a bra next time. No, I was talking to you. No, not her. I don't know her name. What is it? Lanolin? La-lanolin? Like sheep's wool? Unique New York. Unique New York. Mm, I love Scotch. I love Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch. Here it goes down. Down into my belly. Mm-mm-mm. The arsonist has oddly shaped feet. How much time? ? seconds? - You are on. - I'm on right now? I don't believe you. Ron! Oh, come on. Audrey. I look like hell. I got bags under my eyes. What's that? If you were a man, I'd punch you right in the mouth. That's bush. Bush league. The human torch was denied a bank loan. You hear me? Audrey, look at me! I'm sorry. All right? I'm sorry. Ha ha! Ha ha ha ho! Ha ha ho. Ha oh! All right, we're on. Ready, Phil. We're on in five, four... When the clock struck : it meant one thing for Ron Burgundy and his news team: Go time. Channel News, Channel News, with five-time Emmy award-winning anchor Ron Burgundy. Champ Kind, sports. Ooh! Hoo-hoo! Brick Tamland, weather. And your reporter in the field, Brian Fantana. It's Channel News at :. Good evening. I'm Ron Burgundy, and this is what's happening in your world tonight. A La Jolla man clings to life at a university hospital after being viciously attacked by a pack of wild dogs in an abandoned pool. Hey, everybody! Shut the hell up! Ron Burgundy's on! Authorities are still uncertain as to why the man - was loitering... - Ron Burgundy. Oh, my gosh! She said her first words! Right now it's * in our fair city, and compare that to * in the upper Northwest and * in the Middle East. Off the coast of Tampa Bay yesterday, one lucky cameraman happened to catch an unusual aquatic daredevil. What you're about to see is a Channel News exclusive. His name is Nutty the Squirrel, and he's three years old. How 'bout that? That squirrel can water-ski. - Man, that's hilarious. - Yeah, that's good. For all of us here at News Center I'm Ron Burgundy. You stay classy, San Diego. You stay classy, San Diego. Listen up. The ratings just came in for last month. We are number one. We just grabbed every key demographic. - Super-duper, gang! - Yeah! Yeah! Super-duper! That's nice! Way to go! Neat-o, gang. - Yes! - Boy, Ed. That is good news. I gotta be honest. - Congrats, congrats. - That is good news! - All right! - Stick around. Make sure these guys don't party too much. - They don't really ever listen to me. - Just get it done. Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen. Cannonball! Yes, these fellas were a real news team. Burgundy, of course, was the foundation, the rock. But each member brought their own special something to the equation. People call me the Bri-man. I'm the stylish one of the group. I know what you're asking yourself, and the answer is yes, I have a nickname for my penis. It's called the Octagon. But I also nicknamed my testes. My left one is James Westfall, and my right one is Dr. Kenneth Noisewater. You ladies play your cards right, you might get to meet the whole gang. Bang, boom, they were showing lasers every Friday night. Champ here. I'm all about havin' fun. You know, get a couple of cocktails in me, start a fire in someone's kitchen. Maybe go to SeaWorld, take my pants off. Anyway, I've become kind of famous for my signature catchphrase, "Whammy!" As in, "Gene Tenace at the plate... and whammy!" Whammy! I'm Brick Tamland. People seem to like me because I am polite and I'm rarely late. I like to eat ice cream, and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an IQ of and am what some people call "mentally retarded." Hello! - Whoo! Marco! - Polo! - Brian. - You having a good time? - I'm having a great time. - That makes two of us. You've gotta meet this girl. She used to be a Charger cheerleader, but she broke her pelvis. Sherri, meet Ron Burgundy. - Hey, Ron. - Hello. - I've got a big story for you. - Mm-hmm. And it's right here. Well, hello. You pointed to your boobies. Oh, my God, you did! - Ron Burgundy? - Yes? I have had a crush on you since I was a little girl. Let's go somewhere. I'm telling you, it don't get no better than this. We've been coming to the same party for years, and in no way is that depressing. Ahh. By the beard of Zeus! Excuse me. Ron, where you going? What, are you crazy? Ron! If you're coming down the baseline, you gotta take home plate from me! So there I go, head first, boom! I've lost her. Ohh. Hello. Hello. Hope I'm not disturbing you, but, uh, I saw you from across the party, and, uh, I don't usually do this, but I felt compelled to tell you something. You have... an absolutely breathtaking... heinie. I mean, that thing is good. I want to be friends with it. Well, you certainly know how to compliment a woman. Now, if you'll excuse me. Do you know who I am? No, I can't say that I do. I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal. Really? People know me. I've very happy for you. I'm very important. I have... many leather-bound books, and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I... I'm friends with Merlin Olsen, too. He comes over on occasion. That's stupid. No, no, that's... very exciting. Listen, can I... can I start over again? Sure. I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it. If you don't, send it right back. Mm-hmm. I wanna be on you. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I... I wanna be on you. Yoo-hoo! Baxter! Papa's home. There he is. There's my little man. You're okay? Of course I met a lady tonight. This one was different. I have to be honest. Quite different. What... I'm lonely? I'm not lonely! I'm beloved by everyone in San Diego. Wow. You know how to cut to the core of me, Baxter. You're so wise. You're like a miniature Buddha covered in hair. Come again? You know I don't speak Spanish. In English, please. Huh? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate a whole wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? I'm not even mad. That's amazing. I forgive you. What do you say we get you in your pj's and hit the hay? Bedtime. Okay, come on. Let's go. Come on. Oh, that was one crazy party. I am hung over. Tell me about it. I woke up this morning and I shit a squirrel. I mean it. Literally. Hell of it is, damn thing's still alive. So I got this shit-covered squirrel down there in the office. Don't know what to name it. I'm sorry, Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel. All right, guys. Let's focus up. Morning, everyone. Here are the stories we're going to be chasing today. It looks like Ling Wong, the rare panda at the San Diego Zoo, is pregnant. This is a big one. This could be the big story of the summer. Network is gonna be wanting plenty of coverage. And speaking of network, word on the street is they're looking for a new anchor. - So, Ron... - Huh? Network? Are they here? A lot of you have been hearing the affiliates complaining about a lack of diversity on the news team. What in the hell's diversity? Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era. I would be surprised if the affiliates were concerned about the lack of an old wooden ship, but nice try. Diversity means that times are changing, and with that in mind... - Ron, are you paying attention? - Nope. - This concerns all of us. - Okay. Keeping that in mind, I'd like to introduce the latest addition to the KVWN News Team, directly from WYPN in Asheville, North Carolina, Ms. Veronica Corningstone. Hello. Hello, everyone. - Oh! - I just want you all to know that I look forward to contributing to this news station's already sterling reputation. I mean, come on, Ed! It's bullcrap! Don't get me wrong. I love the ladies. They rev my engine, but they don't belong in the newsroom! It is anchorman, not anchorlady! - And that is a scientific fact! - Uh-huh. I don't know what we're yelling about! Ron, what do you think? She... sh... it's terrible! She has beautiful eyes, and her hair smells like cinnamon! Mm-hmm. Loud noises! All right, everyone relax. She's not gonna take anyone's airtime. I read somewhere that their periods attract bears. Bears can smell the menstruation. Well, that's just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy. I will say one thing for her, Ed, she does have a nice, big old behind. I'd like to put some barbecue sauce on that butt and just bite, bite, bite, bite, munch, munch, munch! - Ah-whoo! - Stop it! Oh, Jeez. Look at the full-moon butt! Champ! Champ! Champ, Champ! Mr. Harken, I was just wondering if you knew when my office would be ready. Well, that might take some time. For now, why don't you just grab a desk in the bullpen? You can use my office! Then afterwards maybe we can go to lunch! Lower your voice, Ron. Mm-hmm! All right. Thank you, Mr. Harken. I'll go get my desk set up. Oh, she is a saucy mama! I mean, I would... Here we go again. Every station it's the same. Women ask me how I put up with it. Well, the truth is, I don't really have a choice. This is definitely a man's world. But while they're laughing and grab-assing, I'm chasing down leads and practicing my nonregional diction. Because the only way to win is to be the best. The very best. Touchy situation. I think the best thing to do with this Corningstone, to keep her in line, is bed her quick. Oh, that behind is driving me loco! I'm like a night wolf. Guys, take it easy. Just take it easy! - She's got feelings, too. - Oh, my God! Listen to Burgundy. He's gone soft on us, like some schoolboy bitch. You sound like a gay. Hey! Come on! It's me, Papa Burgundy, all right? As far as I'm concerned, Corningstone's fair game. Huh? Let the games begin! Hi-ohhh! There he is. There he is. I'm very aroused. What's this? Well, well, well. Ron Burgundy and the Channel News Team. Hello, Wes Mantooth. Hello, Evening News Team. Nice clothes, gentlemen. I didn't know the Salvation Army was having a sale. Am I right? Look at these guys. Hey, where did you get those clothes? At the toilet store? What are you doing on our station's turf, Burgundy? You're about to get a serious beat-down. I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again! Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! You understand me? - Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! - Hey. Leave the mothers out of this, all right? It's unnecessary. Besides, I'm sure Wes here is just upset over finishing second in the ratings again. Ooh! That's completely uncalled for, Burgundy. You know those rating systems are flawed. They don't take into account houses that have more than two television sets and other things of that nature. I guess I have to take you at your word, Number Two. You have a great day, fellas. We'll see you around the bend. Son of a bitch! Excusez-moi, Numero Two. Hey, Burgundy. You know those sample audiences aren't big enough! Stop hiding behind those phony numbers, Burgundy! I'm coming after you! I hate you, Ron Burgundy. I hate you! You can't say one word? Even the guy who can't think says something! You guys just stand there? Come on! Right, but I think my son is just going through a phase. I have no idea where he would have gotten ahold of German pornography. But you and I are mature adults. We've both seen our share of pornographic materials. Oh, you never have? Of course you haven't, how stupid of me. Neither have I. I was just speaking in generalities. I'll stop by the school a little later, Sister Margaret. Bye. Ed, she insisted on coming in. Mr. Harken, sir, I will not have my first story at this news station be about a cat fashion show. Miss Corningstone, ma'am, you will do the stories to which you are assigned. Mr. Harken, I am a damn good journalist, and this cat show thing is grade-A baloney. It is not baloney. Now, go do your job, missy! It is baloney! Hey, Ron, I'm gonna take a run at the new girl. Let the games begin. Oh, Champ, Champ, we're not really gonna actually do that. - We were just flapping our gums. - Oh, yeah. You kill me, Burgundy. Let me just grab this. Oh, sorry about that. - Whammy. - Hmm. - Uh, Champ? - Yeah. You're trying to touch my breasts, aren't you? What can I say? I like the way you're put together. What do you say we go out on a date? Have some chicken, maybe some sex. You know, see what happens? Oh, let me get this over here. Sorry. Oh, there it is. I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up. Wow. It never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or... wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight. No, she gets a special cologne. It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries. Yep, it's made with bits of real panther. - So you know it's good. - It's quite pungent. Oh yeah. It's a formidable scent. It stings the nostrils. - In a good way. - Yep. I'll be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline. They've done studies, you know. That doesn't make sense. Well... let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr. Hey, sweet cheeks. Got an invite I'd like to extend your way. My God. What is that smell? Oh! That's the smell of desire, milady. God, no, it smells like... like a used diaper filled with Indian food. Oh! Excuse me. Desire smells like that to some people. What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair! It smells like Bigfoot's dick! Oh. Oh, hell, that's rank! Oh, what's that smell? This is worse than the time the raccoon got in the copier. Yeah. It's very distracting. - When we get to the pet shop... - Cough! Look over here. Excuse me, Veronica. Yes, what is it, Brick? I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party. Excuse me? The party. The pants... With the pants. Party with pants? Brick, are you saying that there's a party in your pants and I'm invited? That's it. Hmm. Did Brian tell you to say this, Brick? No... yes, he did. Okay. No, I don't want to go to a party in your pants. Very well. Ian? Would you like to go to a party in my pants? No, Brick. All right. Let's go! All right, now... I'm telling you, she is a real ball-buster. A real ice queen. Mm. I just burned my tongue. The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods. . . - Uh, Mr. Burgundy? - . Helen said that you needed to see me? Oh, Miss Corningstone. I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout. Tuesday's arms and back. - You asked me to come by, sir. - Oh, did I? Yes. Oh, it's the deep burn! Oh, it's so deep. I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over . You have your ubulus muscle that connects to the upper dorsinus. It's boring, but it's part of my life. I'm just gonna grab this shirt, if you don't mind. Just watch out for the guns. They'll get you. You are pathetic. This has to be the feeblest pickup attempt that I have ever encountered. I expected it from the rest of them, Mr. Burgundy, but not from you. Wait a minute! I... pickup attempt? I'm offended. I have little time to get to the gym, so I have to sculpt my guns at the office. Oh, stop calling your arms "guns." Look. My plan was to ask you if I could squire you about town as one professional helping another professional, because I know what it's like to be lonely in a new city. - Really? - Yes. But now I am too hurt. And shocked and offended and... and hurt. I could do that. Really? Well, yes. As a journalist, I should get to know the city that I'm covering. - But this is not a date. - No, of course not. - Strictly professional. - Wonderful. - Hmm. - Great. Shall I pick you up :? Mm, :. Downstairs? Mr. Burgundy, you have a massive erection. Really? Yes, I do. Um... I'm sorry, it's the... - it's the pleats. - Mm. It's actually an optical illusion. It's the pattern on the pants. It's not flattering in the crotchal region. I'm actually taking them back right now. Taking them back to the pants store. Oh, this is awkward. I'm gonna walk... I'm gonna walk this situation off and I will see you later. Nothing to look at. Go back to work, everyone. Don't act like you're not impressed. Don't look at me right now. I'm walking around the office. My new walk. I have a situation right now I'm trying to walk off. Frame up two. - Let's go to Brian Fantana live... - Gimme a tighter one on two. ...with a Channel News exclusive. Brian? Panda watch. The mood is tense. I have been on some serious, serious reports, but nothing like this. I... I... Ching... King is inside now. I tried to get an interview, but they said, "You can't. He's a live bear. He will literally rip your face off." Hey! You're making me look stupid! Get out here! Panda jerk! Great story. Compelling and rich. That's gonna do it for all of us at Channel News. You stay classy, San Diego. I'm Ron Burgundy? Damn it! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter? For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy will read. Oh, God, this is a mistake. This is a mistake. He's very cute. Very cute. No, he's not. He's hairy. There she is! Veronica! My little China doll. I am full of it tonight. Oh, silly. Hi. You look ravishing. It truly is beauty and the beast. I might add a handsome beast at that. Are you ready for our rendezvous? It's not a date. No, strictly professional. Doesn't mean we can't have fun. - Shall we? - Yes. San Diego. Mm! Drink it in. It always goes down smooth. What a beautiful view, Mr. Burgundy. I know. I love this city. It's a... it's a fact. It's the greatest city in the history of mankind. Discovered by the Germans in . They named it San Diago, which of course in German means a whale's vagina. N... no, there's no way that's correct. I'm sorry. I was trying to impress you. Oh. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest. I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago. Doesn't it mean Saint Diego? No. No. No, that's... that's what it means. Really. Well, agree to disagree. May I take your order? Yes, I am going to have three fingers of Glenlivet with a little bit of pepper, and, uh, some cheese. Very good. A Manhattan, and kick the vermouth in the side with a pair of steel-toed boots. - Certainly. - Thank you, Scott. Thank you. Wow. Quite a drink order. Oh, well, when in Rome. Yes? Please, go on. Uh, do as the Romans do? It's an old expression. Oh! I've never heard of it. - Oh. - It's wonderful, though. Mr. Burgundy. - Tino! How are you? - So good to see you. You're looking fantastic. Tino, Veronica. Veronica. What a pretty girlfriend. - Drinks are on Tino tonight. - No, no, no. We're work associates. I work at the station. - I'm a journalist. - Oh, okay. This is a good guy. Tino's the finest club owner in the city. - My best friend, right? - Yes. Yes, we have a saying in my country about people like him. "The coyote of the desert always likes to eat the heart of the young, where the blood drips down to children for breakfast, lunch and dinner, - only the ribs will be broken in two." - Tino. Okay. Well, Mr. Burgundy, we will be honored if you will play "yazz" flute for us. - I can't. - Please. You play jazz flute? - I dabble. - Oh. Would everyone love to hear Ron Burgundy play "yazz" flute? - Get it goin', Ronnie! - Yes! Please. You, on stage now. Okay, I guess I can play a little ditty. - Honestly, I'm... - Come on. - Give him a hand. - I'm not prepared. Not at all. - Yeah! - This is a surprise, I'll tell you. Guys, "East Harlem Shakedown," E flat? Keep the cymbals splashy, and, Jay, let's take the bass line for a walk. Hold on. I'm not hearing it right. Hold on. We got it now. It's all right. Fire up, Ronnie! Little "Ham and Eggs" comin' at you. Hope you got your griddles. That's baby-makin' music, that's what that is. - Let's go! Hey, Aqualung! Thank you. Thank you! You were amazing. Mm. Thank you. Where did you learn to play like that? Well, jazz flute has always been a small passion of mine. So what other passions do you have, Mr. Burgundy? Well, I have one great passion that... that lives deep within my loins, like a... like a flaming golden hawk: To one day become a network anchor. Well, believe it or not, we share the same dream. I too want to be an network anchor. God, you are so beautiful. We really should be going. I swore that I would never get involved with a coworker. Wait. What if, just for tonight, we weren't coworkers? We were co-people? - I don't... - Shh. You be a woman. I'll be a man. That's all. Oh. You continue to surprise me, Mr. Burgundy. Oh, I'm storming your castle on my steed, milady. Oh, mi corazón es en fuego! Julio, fuego, fuego, fuego! Wait, stop. Stop talking like that. - I can't understand you. - Sorry. Take me to Pleasure Town! - Oh, we're going there! - Oh! I friggin' love you! I friggin' love you back! Look! The most glorious rainbow ever! Oh, do me on it! Whee! Mmm. Well done, sir. Tip of the cap to you as well, Miss Corningstone. I'm having very strong feelings for you, Mr. Burgundy. Mm. But it's very important to me that I be viewed as a professional. - Right. - Hmm. When in Rome. Yeah. That, uh, expression doesn't really apply to what I'm talking about. - Oh, I'm... - What I was saying. I still don't quite understand what it means. Oh, no. You'll find it. No, I was saying that, if we continue seeing each other, that we should keep it relatively quiet around the station. Absolutely, my wild love tigress. Tasteful discretion is the name of the game. Mm-hmm. Veronica Corningstone and I had sex, and now we are in love! Did I say that loud? Yeah, you pretty much yelled it. Well, I can't help it. It's fantastic! - What's it like, Ron? - The intimate times? Outta sight, my man! No. The other thing. Love. Yeah. What is that? Well, it's tough to explain. - I think I was in love once. - Really, what was her name? I don't remember. That's not a good start, but keep going. She was Brazilian. Or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-mart, and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again. I'm pretty sure that's not love. Damn it! I love... carpet. I love desk. Are you just looking at things in the office and saying you love them? I love lamp. Do you really love the lamp, or are you saying it because you saw it? I love lamp! I love lamp. You really want to know what love is? - Yeah. - Yes, tell us. More than anything in the world. Well, it's really quite simple. It's kind of like... - Whoop! - You guys have it, I think. I don't know, Ron. That sounds kinda crazy. Sounds like you have mental problems, man. - Yeah, you got mental problems, man. - Yeah, he really does. Man. - Wanna make a phone call. - Freshen this up. Oh, look out. Next up, it's Whiskerus Maximus. He's ready to do battle in the arena against the tiniest lion you've ever imagined. I'm getting some great stuff, Miss Corningstone. Shut up. Oh, I hate cats. Let's just do my sign-off and get outta here. It was quite a show down here at the Pet Shack. Just for today, fashion curiosity did not kill the cat. I'm Veronica Corningstone for Channel News. That was our newest reporter, Veronica Corningstone. She's really great. I'd also like to share with you that we are currently dating and that she is quite a handful in the bedroom. Uh... That's gonna do it for all of us here at :. For the Channel News Team, I'm Ron Burgundy. You stay classy, San Diego. All clear. Uh-oh. I might be in trouble on that one. I can't believe that you said that we were dating on the air. Mmm! Mmm. That is good fondue. Don't you get it, Ron? I wanna be an anchor. That is never gonna happen if everyone in San Diego thinks that I'm your bimbo gal pal. I don't know what to say. I just... I got excited. I just wanted to shout it from on top of a mountain. But I didn't have a mountain. I had a newsroom and a camera. Look. I report the news. That's what I do. And today's top story, in Ron Burgundy's world, read something like this: I love Veronica Corningstone. Oh, Ron. This is nice, gang, sittin' here. - Oh, yeah. - Brown baggin' it. The team pancake breakfast is tomorrow morning at : instead of :. Oh! Almost forgot. I won't be able to make it, fellas. Veronica and I are trying this new fad called, uh, jogging. I believe it's jogging or yogging. It might be a soft "J." I'm not sure, but apparently you just run for an extended period of time. - It's supposed to be wild. - So Ron's not coming? No, Ron's coming. It's the pancake breakfast. We do it every month. I realize that. Sometimes you gotta look yourself in the mirror and say, "When in Rome." The bottom line is, you've been spending a lot of time with this lady. You're a member of the Channel News Team. - That's a given. - We need you. Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without ya. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you. I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss... I miss your scent. I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together. Just take it easy, Champ. Why don't you stop talking for a while? Maybe sit the next couple of plays out. You know what I mean? Yeah, I'm gonna quit sayin' things when they crop up in the ol' skull, huh? See what it's like when you're not here? You're our leader. Look what you're doing to the group. Champ's been a mess. Brick can't sleep at night. Here's the thing, I don't trust this chick. We need you around, and she is just using you. Everyone, just relax. All right? Believe me, if there's one thing Ron Burgundy knows, it's women. Okay, and Veronica Corningstone, she's just... she's just dying to quit her job so that she can take care of me and have babies. Hey, gang. Papa's home. Oh, honey. I am so glad you're home. My alabaster doll. Gentlemen. You look great. No eye contact! Oh, darling. I've spent all day cleaning your Emmys and preparing dinner in the nude. Oh, let's make whoopie. And then I'm going to go drinking with the news team for two days. Wonderful. Wonderful! Ow! Bite it! Bite it! - Oh, yes! - Oh, yeah! You are a bad boy. I'm bad. I need to go to the principal's office. I love my life. I don't know, Ron. Guess what. I do. I know that one day, Veronica and I are gonna get married on top of a mountain. And there's going to be flutes playing and trombones and flowers and garlands of fresh herbs. And we will dance till the sun rises. And then our children will form a family band. And we will tour the countryside, and you won't be invited! I'm telling you, this lady has really crawled into Ron's head. Good. Good one! Oh, okay. I understand. You have a nice day, sir. Bye. Um, I could come back later, Mr. Harken. No, no, no. It's just parent stuff. It seems that our youngest, Chris, was on something called acid and was firing a bow and arrow into a crowd. - Mm. - You know how kids are. Oh. Right. Anyhoo, what can I do you for? Well, Mr. Harken, I feel like I have proven myself as a journalist and that I deserve the opportunity to take on more challenging stories. Well, ask and you shall receive. Ah, yes, this just came across my desk. Here is a story of a -year-old woman who claims to have a recipe for the world's greatest meat loaf. Ooh, now that's a hot lead. It was very hard for Veronica. But she was a pro and hung tough. But soon, with a simple act of littering, everyone's life would change forever. This burrito is delicious, but it is filling. Whoa! Antony and Cleopatra! Goddamn son of... What the hell, bro'? Hello, neighbor. Did you just throw a burrito out your window? I believe I did. Are you high or something? Did you see what happened? I did. That was a terrific spill. That's quite a raspberry. That's my chopper you just thrashed, Broseph. Easy, compadre. I'm your friend out here, all right? I want you to fix my chopper before I stomp your goofy ass! If you want to throw down, fine. I've got Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary waiting for you. You destroyed the only thing I love. All right? There it is. What do you love? I love poetry. And a glass of Scotch. And, of course, my friend Baxter here. Well, guess what. Now this is happenin'. Excuse me. Excuse me. What are you doing? That's how I roll. Baxter! No...! - Where the hell is he? - He'll be here. - I thought he was Mr. Dependable. - It's not like Ron. I'd put Brick on, but unless he's tracking a storm front, he's useless. - Excuse me, gentlemen. - Oh. Hello. Just want you to know if Ron does not show up, I am ready to go on. You and I have had this discussion a million times. There's never been a woman anchor. Mr. Harken, - this city needs its news. - Oh. You're gonna deprive them of that because I have breasts? Exquisite breasts? I am gonna go on, and if you want to stop me, bring it on. Because I am good at three things: Fighting, screwing and reading the news. I've already done one of those today, so what's the other one gonna be? Uh... Screwing? I will be in makeup. Jesus, she's terrifying! Fantana. Ron, are you okay? The man punted Baxter! Calm down. Breathe, Ron, breathe. The man that loved the motorcycle! What did the bad man do? The motorcycle on the bridge! I hit him with a burrito! - Ron! - He took him! He took him with his foot and he kicked him! That's what he did! Someone punted him? No, wait. Wait. Let me say something. Let me say something. What? I... I don't... I didn't understand one word you said. Ron, are you okay? Ron? Ron. Where are you? I'm in a glass case of emotion! He's gonna put Corningstone on. He's gonna put Corningstone on! I've got to do the news! You're not Ron. We're on in . Good luck, lady. Ready the announce. - Power. - Roll in. Power. Power. One slip, and you're gone. Whammy. And your reporter in the field, Brian Fantana. It's Channel News at :. Good evening. Ron Burgundy is off tonight. I'm Veronica Corningstone. Tonight's top story: - Okay, we're off and running. - Three armed men wearing ski masks made off with over $ from an area bank in a daring early morning robbery. Hey! And the winner of the frog-leaping contest was Hoppy, with a jump of seven feet, inches. Hmm. I used to date a guy named Hoppy down in Alabama. He was quite a jumper, too. That will do it for us at :. From all of us here at Channel News, I'm Veronica Corningstone, and thanks for stopping by, San Diego. All clear! Yes! Yes! Lady! Lady! Not bad, Miss Corningstone. Not bad at all. Thank you, Mr. Harken. That felt good. - That felt really good. - I liked your sign-off line, too. You did? It just came through me. It was so organic. Thank you. Oh, Ron! Ron! Ron, darling! I'm so glad you're all right. Oh, God. I have something magnificent to tell you. I'm here. We can do the news now. It's all right, everyone! We can do the news. Hold on. Why are we all standing around? Let's go! Ron, we did it. Veronica filled in for you. What? Sweetheart, we were so worried about you, and we waited as long as we could, but... Darling, I did the news, and I nailed it. I nailed it. Wait, wait! Veronica, please, tell me this is some kind of sick, tasteless joke. You weren't here. Why are you being this way? Why can't you be proud of me as a peer and as my gentleman lover? Oh, Jeez. I can't believe you did this to me! You read my news! I told you that I wanted to be an anchor. I told you that. I thought you were kidding! I thought it was a joke! I even wrote it down in my diary! "Veronica had a very funny joke today." I laughed at it later that night! I can't believe that I cared for you. Get out! Just go! We are through! Through! Because of your actions, you scorpion woman! You have broken my heart, Mr. Burgundy. You have broken my heart. From there on out, things just got worse for Ron Burgundy. Corningstone was a star, and everything started to move awfully fast - after her big break. - Where's Ian? Ian! All right, I got a call from network. It looks like our broadcast last night received a two-point ratings boost, and the decision has been passed down to make Veronica our co-anchor. - What? - No. No! No! - No! - No! - No! - This is wonderful. Ed, come here, you big silly man. You big silly man. - We did it. - What is this, amateur hour? - That's great. - Thank you. Damn it! What Brian didn't tell you was that those were not real pirates. - They looked convincing, though. - Oh, yes. Well, for all of us here at Channel News, I'm Ron Burgundy. You stay classy, San Diego. And thanks for stopping by. But mainly stay classy. - Thanks for stopping by. - Stay classy, I'm Ron Burgundy. - Thanks for stopping by. - Stay classy. Ron Burgundy. You are a real hooker, and I'm gonna slap you in public. You have way too much pubic hair. Actually, that's a point of pride. I'm very proud of my mane of pubic hair, so thank you. You have man boobs. You've got a dirty, whorish mouth. I'm gonna punch you in the ovary. - A straight shot. - Ooh, ow. Right to the baby-maker. Ah, jazz flute is for little fairy boys. Okay, you know what? That's uncalled for. I can't work with this woman. It's terrible. It's ringing. Veronica Corningstone. Hello, Veronica, this is Mike Rithjin from the network. You've just been promoted. You're gonna need to move to Moscow. Start cleaning up your desk. See you in the morning. We'll pick you up in a van. What did you say your name was? Mike Ritnitjun. It's not important. Start cleaning your desk, and we'll pick you up in the morning. Tell her she might want to get a coat. Hold on. Veronica? What was it? Tell her to get a coat. Also, I don't know if you know Moscow. It's pretty cold. You might want to buy a coat. Are you and Champ having a good time, Ron? Are we what? I can see you, Ron. What? I can see you. Okay. Bye-bye. - What happened? - She knew it was me. You're watching Channel News with five-time Emmy award-winning anchor Ron Burgundy and Tits McGee. Good evening, San Diego. I'm Veronica Corningstone. Tits McGee is on vacation. And I'm Tits... I'm Ron Burgundy. - Veronica Corningstone. - This is your doctor. I have your pregnancy report here, and guess what. You got knocked up. You should probably get out of news. - Who is this? - This is Dr. Chim. - Dr. Chim Richalds. - Ron, is this you? I'm a professional doctor. You saw me. You don't remember. We... you should move. - Get out of the business. - This is pathetic. You're pathetic. What'd she say? She... I don't... I think she bought it. She's looking this way. - Oh, uh-oh. Whoa! - Here she comes. I'll tell you what, it's just not working. She's making us look like a bunch of fools. Ellen, where's the party? Children, grow up. Son of a bee sting. She's turning the entire office against us. - This is grim. Real grim. - What are we gonna do? There's only one thing a man can do when he's suffering from a spiritual and existential funk. Go to the zoo, flip off the monkeys? No. Buy new suits. Yea! Where's the suit store? We've been walking for minutes. Where's the suit store? We've been walking for minutes. Brick, I thought you said this was a shortcut. Fantastic. - Is it a shortcut or not? - Okay. Jeez. Hey. Uh-oh. Here comes trouble. Burgundy and the ladies went out for a stroll, huh? You boys walkin' around and talkin' things through? Keep a tight perimeter. Yes, sirree. Well, well, well. Ron Burgundy and the Channel News Team. Where's your mommy? You back off, Evening News Team. You know, I understand that, uh, they had to bring a female in. Change your diapers. Wipe the dribble away from your bubblin' lips. Rub Vaseline all over your heinie and tell you that it's special and different from everyone else's. He said "heinie"! Brick, get back over here! Heinie! Does she tuck you in, Ronnie? Give you a little kiss on your forehead? Tell you everything's gonna be okay? I've had enough of you, Mantooth. This is gonna end right here, right now. Let's dance, dickweed. You wanna dance, Ronnie? I wanna polka. Come get a taste. Brick, where'd you get a hand grenade? I don't know. All right. Let's do this! Hey! If you're gonna have a fight, then don't forget Channel News with me, lead anchor Frank Vitchard. You dirtbags have been in third place for five years. Yeah? Well, you're about to be in dead place. Not so fast, you ingrates! Public News Team is taking a break from its pledge drive to kick some ass. No commercials! No mercy! Cómo están, pinches! Spanish Language News is here. Tonight's top story: The sewers run red with Burgundy's blood. Hyah! Hyah! Well looks like we got ourselves a bilingual bloodfest. Now, before we do this, let's go over the ground rules. Rule number one: No touching of the hair or face. Of course. And that's it! Now let's do this! Begin! I'm gonna straight-up murder your ass! - Blade! - Here you go, mate! Ahh! God! Oh! I did not see that coming! Oh! Aaah! - Now I'll be number one. - No, you won't! Policía! Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast. - It jumped up a notch. - It did, didn't it? Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart. I saw that. Brick killed a guy. - Did you throw a trident? - Yeah. There were horses and a man on fire and I killed a guy with a trident. I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Find yourself a safe house or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder. I'm proud of you fellas. You kept your head on a swivel. That's what you gotta do when you're in a vicious cockfight. Can you believe Mantooth and the Channel Evening News Team? "Where's your mommy? Someone's gotta change your diapers." This Corningstone business is really hurting our rep. I know exactly what you mean, Brian. Every newsman in this city's laughing at us. - And I don't like it. - I don't like the put-downs. We're gonna do something about it. It is time to put an end to this! Last time I looked, my name's Ron Burgundy. What's your name? - Brian Fantana. - Champ Kind. - Brian Fantana. - No, you're Brick. - Brian. - I'm Brian. Veronica. And I've shown you, old man! Garth, I need to look at these tapes for a potential lead. Ron's using the machine to play his local Emmy acceptance speech from last year. I tried to ask her out on a date. Turn the music off! I'm still talking! - This is ridiculous! - I don't remember doing it. - Excuse me. - What are you doing? I need this machine so I can watch a tape for a story. I'm using the tape. I'm showing Jeffrey my Emmy tape. We are watching history. Mr. Burgundy, I'm a professional, and I would like to be able to do my job. Big deal! I am very professional! Mr. Burgundy, you are acting like a baby. I'm not a baby, I am a man. I am an anchorman! You are not a man. You are a big fat joke! I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science. I will have you know that I have more talent and more intelligence in my little finger than you do in your entire body, sir! You are a smelly pirate hooker! You look like a blueberry. Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island? Well, you have bad hair. What did you say? I said your hair looks stupid. - Let 'em work it out! - It's between the two of them! They're just talking. Just talking. - I hate you! - I hate you more! Ow! Shut up! Shut up! All right, stop! Stop what you're doing right now! I will not have my newsroom be divided. Ah! Knights of Columbus, that hurts! I was like, "Who is that guy?" I just can't believe what Ron did to you. It is so awful. Yes. Have you ever thought about fighting fire with fire? What do you mean? I have some information that you can choose to use or not use. Up to you. Ron Burgundy will read anything that is put on that Teleprompter. And when I say anything, I mean an-y-thing. Arnold, cue one. After the FotoMat was destroyed, the bear scampered back into the woods. Apparently he wasn't too happy with his color prints. Oh. From the entire Channel News Team, I'm Veronica Corningstone. And I'm Ron Burgundy. Go fuck yourself, San Diego. What in the name... No! Nobody talks about my city that way! Ron Burgundy's ass is grass! Nice work, everyone. Sharp broadcast. Really good. Everyone on the floor as well. Really a lot of hustle. I liked it. Dump out! Dump out! Hello, Edward. - Ron, I've got to fire you. - I've got to fire you. Bing, bong, bong. You're fired, Ed. Do you even know what you just said? Great Odin's raven! Are you happy, Ron? Veronica. She put that in the Teleprompter. You're probably right, but this is bad, Ron. Real bad. My hands are tied. I... I gotta fire you. Ed, let's hold on. Let's count to . That's a rash decision. Is this about something else? Ed, there's very angry San Diego-ites. San Diego-ins. San Diego-uns. - San Dieg-ons. - San Diegans. San Diegans out in front of the station. They want Ron's blood. They want to hurt you. Why did you say that? Why? Why, Ron? Why? You're my hero, Ron. Garth, I... And you come out with stink like that poop! You poop mouth! Get all the poop out of your mouth! If I were to give you money out of my wallet, would that ease the pain? I hate you, Ron Burgundy! I hate you! Ron? Ron! I never wanted it to be like this. I can't believe you did this to me! Are you happy? No, Ron, I'm not! It was supposed to be a joke. I mean, it's still kind of funny. But it's not. I have nothing left! Nothing! I've been reduced to rubble! Don't you know I would never say the word fuck? I would never fucking ever fucking say that! Ever! Let's go. These people are about to pull you apart. I'm sorry. Get your hands off him, you bastards! Don't you know I would never say fuck? - Fuck! - Move. No! No! Mr. Burgundy, you should be ashamed of yourself. - Please, I... - You're an awful man! You are truly a disappointment to us all, Mr. Burgundy! Bob Dylan once wrote, "The times, they are a-changin'." Ron Burgundy had never heard that song. So when he fell, he fell hard. It's Channel News at :! Good evening, San Diego. I'm lead anchor Veronica Corningstone. Tonight's top story: An ultrasound of Ling Wong, the most famous panda in the world, shows that her baby is doing quite well. No! Ron Burgundy, stay classy. Hello, this is Ron. Hello. Who's there? I'm talking. Hello. Who is this? Baxter, is that you? Baxter! Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee. Is this Wilt Chamberlain? Have the courage to say something. Hello! Hello! Oh, Tino, thank you for letting me come in here. I'm glad I can still get a good meal. Yeah sure. Here you are, the chef made this special for you. You eat that for the way you talk about my city. I will not eat that. You're going to eat that cat poo. I will not eat cat poop. - You will eat cat poo. - Ron Burgundy says no! You make a fool of me and everyone here. You put that cat poo in your mouth. - No! - Yes! - No! - Sí! - I will not eat cat poop. - You will do it immediately! - No! - You will! - Fine, I'll try to eat one... - Get in there. If I take one bite will you get me a steak? If I take one bite of shit will you bring me a steak? I'll think about it. Yeah, get in there. - Yeah, start with the end. - I am so hungry. - There. - Oh God! A steak. A big steak for him, please. No! I had one bite. - That's not enough. - Son of a bitch. You like this? Oh, don't cry. Don't cry. He's not crying. He's not crying. - Don't cry in my... - I'll eat the shit. I don't care. I'll eat the entire hunk of shit. Okay, just finish it up. Don't you feel better now? Hey, you watch yourself, mister. Hey, lady in the red hat. Yeah. You smell. Guys. Guys, it's me, Ron. Fellas! Harken said he'd fire us if we talked to you. - What? - I'm sorry. I... Brian! - It's Ronnie! - Ron! - Champ! - Ron! Champ, come on. Come on! Go, Brick. My sweet Brick. Brick, come hug me. I know you want to. I am completely miserable, San Diego! It's so damn hot! Milk was a bad choice! Yes, yes. Chris, listen to me. Put down the gun and let the marching band go. We'll play it off as a prank. We'll straighten it out later. I'm getting another call. Ed Harken. What? Oh, my God! Listen, everybody, Ling Wong the panda is giving birth! Get Corningstone over there right away! The network is picking up the feed. I want a shot of that panda being born! This is Ted Nightingale, Channel News Los Angeles, reporting from the San Diego Zoo. And this is the moment the entire world has been waiting for. I can only speculate as to the sex of the panda, but if I had to guess, I'd say female. - Excuse me. Press. - Hey, lady, watch it. Excuse me, I'm press. Thank you. What do you got? Nothing. All I can see is a blue curtain. Oh, damn it. Go over there and see if you can get a shot. I'll go this way. Hey, lady, why don't you go fetch me a sandwich? Okay, I'll go get your sandwich. Then I'll show you the ratings where you're number two to a woman. Ouch. Don't lose any more hair over it. - Whatever. - We're live, Mr. Mantooth. Good afternoon, San Diego. We're here today to celebrate the birth of a panda. Hey, nut job! Quit the singin'! Creeping out all the regulars. I'm expressing my inner anguish through the majesty of song! Look, drunkie, you been coming in here every day, stinking up the joint with your craziness. Now, what the hell is wrong with you? I got no heart! Because a she-devil stole it! You know what the worst part about it is? She's better than me! She's better than me. You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now. You're gonna have to learn how to deal with that. What? Were you saying something? Look, I don't speak Spanish. Ah. Scotty. Scotty, I have the shot. Scotty. Scotty! Hey, uh, that is some fantastic shot you got there. The kind of shot that gets you to the top of network news. - Oh, well, we hope. - We at public television, we're really down with the woman's lib thing. That is so refreshing to me. Because the struggle I've... Howie, we have the shot. Up a little. Up, up. Oh. You son of a bitch! Shh! Don't want to wake up your friends. Help! - Simply vanished. - How do you lose your lead anchor? - I can't find Corningstone. - Where the hell is she? - No one's seen her. - I can't believe this. Every news outlet in the world is looking for coverage on this. I've got no damn lead anchor! Damn it! Get me a phone. I can't believe I'm about to do this. Rocky's, bar, grill, fine dining. - Is there an anchorman there? - Hold on. This is killing me. I'd rather slit my throat. - Hello? - Hello? - Is this Ron? - Who is this? - It's me. Ed. - Who? - Ed Harken. - I don't know a Ned. - Ed Harken! - Ed! - Ed, hello. - Listen, Ron. Corningstone disappeared in the midst of the biggest story of the year. We need you down here right away. Wait, Ed. Does this mean you're asking me to report the news again? - Yes. - Ed! That's wonderful! Thank you! Ed, hold on. I want to say a few words. - You have always been a good friend! - Right. - Always! - Right. Get down here as quickly as you can. Ed, I'll be down there. And I'm going to look good. Good evening. I'm Ron Burgundy. Damn! That dude cleans up good! If I'm gonna do this, I'll need my news team at my side. News team! Assemble! News team, assemble! Hey, Ron. What's up? Oh. Hi. Didn't see you there. We've been here literally the entire time you have. I'm a little embarrassed. Look. I just got the call from Harken. He wants me back. But I can't do this without my news team. I don't know, Ron. That was half a lifetime ago. We're different people now. When you left, the hurt was so deep. I don't know if I can go through that again. Think about what you're asking. Man. Gentlemen, there was a time when you called me your lead anchor. Will you follow me again? I'm gettin' too old for this shit. To the news van! - To the news van! - Okay! Ahh! Well, I'll be. Ron Burgundy. He's back! Gentlemen, let's try to get in a good position for the story. - How does the hair look? - Magnificent. You have hair like an angel. Oh, whoa, whoa. Network talent scout. - This is a hot one. - I'm actually nervous. Let's go get 'em. Wait! Did you just hear something? Help. - Ron, help! - Veronica! - Are you okay? - Shh! How did you get down there? Just go get someone. Please. Hold on. Hold on! We've got to do something. Whoa, Ron, I don't want to sound cruel, but... There's a network talent scout over there. This is a tough decision. So much to think about. Basically the biggest story of my career, launching me to a level I've never known before, or saving the woman I used to have familiar relations with. This is hard! I am in a pickle! Ron, I know it sounds harsh, but God does not want her to live. No. Hold on. It's clear now. We go into the bear pit. Ron, don't. Oh! I immediately regret this decision. What are you doing? Why didn't you get help? These bears are massive! They looked a lot smaller from up there. Fan out. Let's go find Harken. Stay calm. It's all right. I think it's all right, my sweet chinchilla. - Oh, Ron. - Yes, yes. In case we die here today, there's something that you should know. That dirty trick with the Teleprompter, it wasn't... Sweet Eli Whitney's nose! It wasn't you, was it? It was Wes Mantooth. - Oh, I should have known. - No, no. - No, I did it. - You bitch! Shh! You woke the bears. Why did you do that? There's somebody in the bear pit! It took my impending death for me to realize how much I need you. Oh, Ron. Those bears are gonna hurt them! News team, let's hunt. News team! Bear fight! Come on. Come on! Damn! Hit 'em in the uvula! Hey, Ron! I'm riding a furry tractor! The bears have descended on the news team and it's not going well. Clearly, after today, I will no longer... Come on! Oh, God! It's getting to be ri-goddamn-diculous! Oh, no. We woke up the mama. Oh, God! I don't wanna die. Baxter! Look! They're following their mother! It's instinct. Oh, Baxter! Oh! Oh, Baxter, you're still alive! Oh, I'm so happy! I'm so happy! You are alive! I'm so happy! I will lick you! I will lick you in front of everyone to show my joy. Oh. Ohhh! Boy, he really likes that dog. Burgundy! Burgundy! Burgundy! Burgundy! Burgundy! Burgundy! Hi, Ron. It's always a long fall from the top, isn't it? Easy, Wes. I've been waiting to say this to you for a long time. - All right. - Deep down in my stomach, with every inch of me, I pure, straight hate you! But, God damn it, do I respect you! Thank you, brother. Burgundy! Burgundy! Today we spell redemption R-O-N. Burgundy! Burgundy! Ron, you're my hero! Ron, I think you've got a story to report. Are you sure, Ed? Do it. It's the story you were born to tell. San Diego's waiting. Go get 'em. Make way! Ron Burgundy's about to report on pandas! Count me down. Three. You're live, Mr. Burgundy. This is Ron Burgundy, proudly reporting once again for Channel News. Today's story is one of the more remarkable things ever to happen to San Diago or even the world. But in order to properly retell it, I'm going to need some help from my co-anchor, Miss Veronica Corningstone. - High-pressure system... - No, no, no, no, Brick. - High-pressure system... - Go stand over there. Oh, Ron. Ron, there are literally thousands of men that I should be with instead, Yes, redemption was sweet for Ron Burgundy. Yes! Ron! - As for the news team: - Stop it! Ron! Champ Kind went on to become a commentator for the NFL, but was later fired after being accused of sexual harassment by Terry Bradshaw. Excuse me. Is that Sex Panther you're wearing? Brian Fantana went on to have great success as the host of the hit reality TV show "Intercourse Island" on the Fox Network. Anyone seen Brick? - Brick? - Don't! That tickles! No, that tickles me! Come on! Brick Tamland is married with children and is one of the top political advisors to the Bush White House. I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you! And Ron and Veronica didn't stay in San Diego long. I chose them as my replacement, and they became the first mixed-gender network news team, and they're still doing it today. From all of us here at the World News Center, I'm Veronica Corningstone. And I'm Ron Burgundy. You stay classy, planet Earth. Oh! Great Odin's raven! Oh! By the hammer of Thor! Oh! Saint Damien's beard! Sweet grandmother's spatula! Oh! Hot pot of coffee! Uncle Jonathan's corncob pipe! I'm gonna shoot you with a BB gun when you're not looking. In the back of the head. I'm sorry. You're not very bright. You know that, right? You're actually quite a dullard. Everyone here knows it. If I'm a dullard, you're the, uh, the dull... Oh! Can't think of anything to say, can you? Yes, I can. I can think of a lot of things to say. Like, you're a dirty bitch. Well, Ron, I'm gonna put poison... Oh, my God! I drank a lava lamp. It wasn't lava. I ate a whole bunch of fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like that guy said. My stomach's itchy. I pooped a hammer. I pooped a tape recorder. I pooped a Cornish game hen. Uh... Nope. You do not take a tone with me, 'cause I will give you a rap right on the Jack Johnson! - Okay. - Yes. Now this is happenin'. What are you doing? - Hah! - What are you doing? What are you... Action. We'll go back to doing what I do best... I guess we'll go back to doing what I do best, show off. When do we get started? When do we get started? - That's my line. - When do we get started? You say, "Whenever you like." Whenever you like. Keep it rollin'. This is good stuff. ...an area bank in a daring... Probably not the same one. Probably not the same guy. Brick, before I let you go, are you still having your celebrity golf tournament this summer? No, too many people died last year. So we're not gonna do... Sorry. Sorry. They named it San Diego. Which in German means, "a whale's vagina." This is the most ridiculous thing ever. Way to handle him. That was nice. It sure is good to be number one. It sure beats the hell out of number two. We are laughing! And we are very good friends. Good buddies sharing a special moment. Don't say anything, Ron. Just let it happen. We're laughing, enjoying our friendship. And someday we'll look back on this with much fondness. Yeah. Yeah.

Classic Old Australian Films No 4
Robbery Under Arms is a 1907 Australian silent western/drama film based on the 1888 novel by Rolf Boldrewood about two brothers and their relationship with the bushranger Captain Starlight. It was the first film version of the novel and the third Australian feature ever made.
Key scenes of the film included the branding of the stolen cattle by the Marstons, the stealing of the horse 'Marquis of Lorne', the capture of Starlight and Dick Marston, the robbery of the mail coach, the bail up of the gold escort, the sticking up of Whitmans', the attack on Keightley station, the ride of Mrs Keightley to raise the ransom, the escape from Berrima Gaol and Starlight's last stand.
Charles MacMahon made the movie after working for five years in New Zealand. It seems likely that the script was taken directly from the novel, and not any stage adaptation of the book (which was the case with the 1911 version, Captain Starlight, or Gentleman of the Road).
Shooting took place over six weeks with a cast of twenty five. Locations included Narrabeen, Hornsby, Moss Vale, Wollongong racecourse, Bathurst, the Turon, and Flemington sale yards, among other places.The cinematographer was C Byers Coates, who worked for the film firm of Osborne and Jerdan. Coates shot 10,000 feet of film all up which was later processed at Osborne and Jerdan's premises in George Street, Sydney.The budget has been given as £900 or £1,000.
The role of Warrigal, the aboriginal tracker, was played by Jim Gerald who later became a major vaudeville star; it was one of his few film roles. (He may have been billed as "Fitzgerald".)

Released in 1985, this Australian production was something of a groundbreaking movie as it was filmed simultaneously as a motion picture and also as a TV mini series. Sam Neil took the lead role as the debonair and daring Captain Starlight who led his band of wild colonial boys on a series of adventures and robberies. Based on the now familiar and famous story by author Rolf Boldrewood, ROBBERY UNDER ARMS contained an energetic and vibrant musical score by composing duo Gary McDonald and Laurie Stone who formed a musical collaboration in 1980,both came from diverse backgrounds within the world of music and began to become actively involved in the composition of music for film and television in 1982. The brief that they were given by the producers of ROBBERY UNDER ARMS was to create a score that was exciting and thrilling and maybe try to achieve a sound that was a fusion between BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Which is basically what the composers did, it is a score that has numerous sounds and styles to it and does on many occasions touch upon the dramatic, the adventurous and the heroic. Written for a 90 piece orchestra, the score is a pulsating and theme laden work that has within its make up a great sense of the romantic and melodic. The haunting themes being delicate, lush and lingering. Released on Onemone Records in 1991, this is a soundtrack that would be welcome as part of any soundtrack collection, in many ways the music can be likened also to the composing style of fellow Australian film music composer Bruce Rowland and at certain points within its duration does evoke scores such as PHAR LAP and THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER and also I have to say did remind me somewhat of the style employed by composer Roy Budd in films such as SOLDIER BLUE and CATLOW. The compact disc opens with THE MAIN TITLE which is a rousing and robust theme for the films central character Captain Starlight, that also includes elements of the scores more plaintive and romantic sounding thematic material, the brief but affecting opening theme successfully sets the scene for much of what is to follow, with strings and brass being given the lions share of the work to do ably supported by timpani and the occasional punctuation from woodwind. Track number two, STARLIGHT AND AILEEN is a tender and subdued theme which opens with subdued woodwind that has a characteristically English atmosphere to it, strings and horns are added to the mix and the string section take on the main thematic material and expand upon it giving it a more pronounced romantic feel and sound.
Track number three, THE RIDE HOME is as the title suggests a more upbeat and more energetic sounding piece with the central theme for Starlight making a return but being given a more vigorous working by both brass and strings with percussion adding depth and support to the proceedings. Track number four, A TOUCH OF HANDS is certainly the love theme from the score with woodwind etching out a plaintive and somewhat intimate arrangement of the theme for one of the movies main characters Aileen, add to this strings that are mildly lush and it is a beautifully written and performed piece. The remainder of the score is much the same and is a combination of high drama, bold sounding adventure themes and subtle nuances that purvey romantic interludes and humorous occurrences. This is certainly a score that you should own and yes it has been deleted for a while now, but can at times be found on any one of the well known online shopping sites. Highly recommended.

I never have been a big fan of westerns, but this movie quickly became a favorite! The fact that it is presented from the point-of-view of the "bad" guy, creates an interesting perspective. I do enjoy this movie immensely, and this is partly why. By the end of the film, I found myself sympathizing with the "bad" characters, despite the fact that they were thieves and cheaters. The plot was simple, but didn't need more. I did find some parts of the film unique. This is refreshing in a time when movies are so often alike. If you are looking for a movie that's good fun, and solidly acted, this is the movie for you! Even if you don't like westerns!

Robbery Under Arms is a 1920 Australian film directed by Kenneth Brampton and financed by mining magnate Pearson Tewksbury.[4] It is an early example of the "Meat pie Western".[5]
Plot
[edit]
Two brothers, Dick and Jim Marsden, become involved with the bushranger, Captain Starlight. They romance two girls, work on the goldfields, and are captured by the police after Starlight is shot dead.[6]

Production
[edit]
There had been several attempts to make films based on Rolfe Boldrewood's 1888 novel since the bushranging ban by the New South Wales government in 1912. In particular there were attempts by Stanley Crick in 1916 and Alfred Rolfe in 1918. However Kenneth Brampton managed to secure permission for this 1920 version, mostly likely because it stressed the moral lessons of the story.[7]
Kenneth Brampton and actress Tien Hogue managed to persuade the mining magnate Pearson Tewksbury to raise the budget and act as producer.[3]
Brampton was acting in the play Lightnin' which he left to make the film.[8]
The film was shot on location at Braidwood and in the Araluen Valley near Canberra. The bushrangers the Clarke brothers reportedly worked in this region.[9][10]
Renowned horseman "Top" Hassall doubled for Brampton on the horse riding scenes.[11]
Future director Charles Chauvel was working around the Sydney studios and attending to horses on the film. He has a bit part.
The film was the final acting role for Roy Redgrave who died in 1922.
Reception
[edit]
The movie was reportedly successful at the box office[7] and grossed up to £16,000. However returns were so slow and the distributor and exhibitor took so much that Pearson Tewksbury was dissuaded from further film production.[3]
Variety said the film was "of only fair quality, the picture just gets by."[12]
Preservation status
[edit]
A "copy comprising about three-quarters of the film" was found and combined with already known footage to produce a near-complete version.[13] A five-minute sequence is still missing.[13]

The two 1907 motion pictures of
Robbery Under Arms
The novel Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood, the nom de plume of Thomas Alexander Browne, first appeared as a serial in the newspaper The Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser starting on 1 July 1882 and finishing on 11 August 1883, and was an immediate popular success. It was published in book form in London in 1888, and it was not long after that the story was presented on the stage: Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch wrote an adaptation that was premiered on 1 March 1890 at the Alexandra Theatre, Melbourne, with Dampier playing the role of Captain Starlight, one of the main characters. This became the part for Dampier, and he would act as Starlight many times over the next two decades.
After projected motion pictures were introduced in Australia in 1896, and local short films made from then on, perhaps it is surprising, considering the popularity of the novel and play, that film adaptations had to wait till 1907. The main stimulus for motion picture versions was almost certainly the success achieved by Johnson and Gibson's production, for J. and N. Tait, of The Story of the Kelly Gang in 1906, this film being generally credited as the world's first 'feature' film – a dramatic subject occupying 4 or more reels. The popular response to the Kelly Gang film showed that audiences were happy to watch a (relatively) long film – as long as there was enough action and plot to hold their attention.1
That the time was ripe to make a movie of Robbery Under Arms occurred to more than one person.
Charles MacMahon's "picture drama"
On 6 August 1907 Australian-born theatrical manager Charles MacMahon returned to Sydney after a five-years' stay in New Zealand. He was initially reported to have come back to complete "the details of a special theatrical attraction for a New Zealand tour, which will commence at Auckland at an early date."2 On 18 September the real story was announced:
There has been considerable mystery about the visit of Mr. Charles Macmahon to Sydney from New Zealand. [...] It appears that he has spent most of his daylight time the past five weeks in the bush up Pymble way with a dramatic company and a coach and team of eight horses, having that great and well-known drama, "Robbery Under Arms," enacted in natural surroundings, and snapped for the biograph by an operator from Osborne [sic] and Jerdan's establishment. This most interesting film will be shown for the first time at Auckland on October 7, and will subsequently tour New Zealand, returning here about Christmas. Mr. Macmahon would have shown it here first but for the fact that no theatre was obtainable.3
More detail was given in New Zealand:
[...] Mr Charles Macmahon, who has been in Australia for many weeks past, actively engaged in bringing about the necessary organisation for a complete and elaborate realisation in pictorial action of the vivid incidents of Rolf Boldrewood's famous story, "Robbery Under Arms." A complete Dramatic Company of 25 persons was got together specially for the purpose, as well as bushmen, riders, horses, and all the equipment necessary to the depiction of the various scenes and episodes of this universally popular romance of real life in early colonial days. For weeks, as long as the daylight lasted, they were continually at active work throughout the various places in New South Wales, where the actual incidents occurred, and, of course, closely followed by the operators with the most up-to-date apparatus and material in the cinematographic world. The cost of the undertaking exceeds £1000 but the result, Mr Macmahon cables, gratifies the highest expectation. The project is specially for a New Zealand tour, and the combination, of which this "pictured story" will be a feature, will open at His Majesty's Theatre, Auckland, on October 4th, and at the Opera House, Wellington, on November 2nd.4
To be noted are the references to a company of 25 (or more) persons, and the cost of £1000. The length of the film would later usually be specified as 4000 ft (1220 m).
MacMahon gave a private showing of the film at the Standard Theatre in Sydney on Tuesday, 1 October 1907; the response from the reviewer of The Sydney Morning Herald was positive:
A biograph exhibition of scenes from "Robbery Under Arms," recalling the pages of the novel rather than of the drama adapted from it, was presented for the first time at the Royal Standard Theatre last night, under the management of Mr. Charles MacMahon. Evidently a vast amount of care had been bestowed upon the preparation of the scenes, involving the mustering of cattle, the selection of rugged and picturesque country, and the rehearsal of people representing Starlight and the outlawed gang, the police, and other characters in the bush tragedy. Mrs. Keightley's exciting ride and many other incidents, cleverly reproduced by Messrs. Osborn and Jerdan, were warmly applauded. The Messrs. MacMahon will probably show these scenes in Sydney before touring New Zealand with them.5
MacMahon then placed "coming soon" style teasers in the Sydney newspapers,6 with no mention of a date; at the same time a copy of the film, with equipment and accompanying entertainers, left Sydney on 9 October for Auckland, New Zealand, to arrive there to open at His Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday, 15 October.7 Months earlier he had booked the theatre for 7 through 26 October, but was delayed in getting the performance company across the Tasman Sea.
The film's makers, the Sydney company Osborn and Jerdan, Ltd., Opticians and Electricians – who advertised themselves as "My Opticians" – even did some crowing:
We have recently achieved a great success in the taking of pictures for Mr. Charles Macmahon's "Robbery Under Arms" - a series of magnificent cinematograph pictures which are acknowledged to be the finest possible to produce.8
Public exhibitions in Australia started on Saturday, 9 November 1907 at the Oxford Theatre (previously the Atheneum), Sydney, when there were both a matinee and an evening show.9 Later advertisements claimed that hundreds of people had to be turned away,10 and this apparently occurred for most of the season, which continued at the Oxford until Thursday, 5 December.11
From there the show was taken to the Victoria Theatre, Newcastle, New South Wales for 2 nights (6 and 7 December), to be followed by a night at the Mechanics' Institute at Singleton on Monday, 9 December.
At the end of 1907 and into 1908 there were 3 companies touring MacMahon's Robbery Under Arms in Australia: at Fremantle and elsewhere in Western Australia; the north-east and northern rivers of New South Wales; and around Tasmania. Later, other areas of New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland, and Victoria were visited. The film was still being shown late in 1908.
There are few mentions of actors, crew, and locations to be found in the press.12 Known (or supposed) performers were:

Warrigal: Jim Gerald or S. Fitzgerald
Inspector of Police: Lance Gerald (Jim Gerald's brother) aka Lance Vane

Apart from material in newspapers there is very little about this film known to remain. The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) holds 3 items:
title number 363172: [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : DOCUMENTATION] : [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : A GROUP OF MEN AND WOMEN STAND HOLDING HANDS IN A CIRCLE. THE WOMEN IN CENTRE SHOT LOOKS TO BE WEARING A BRIDAL DRESS], which is this image:
title number 660488: [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : DOCUMENTATION] : [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : HALF TONE PRINTING BLOCK FOR A FILM WEEKLY ARTICLE, 1969].
This block was, apparently, "used for a Film Weekly article, December 1969". On page 25 of the 18 December 1969 issue of Film Weekly is an image much the same as that above, except that about 10 % has been cropped on the right, so that the fiddler is not shown, and there is a small amount extra at the bottom, with the handwritten text: '"Robbery Under Arms" here represented'. The same image, showing both the fiddler and the text at the bottom, and slightly more at the top, is on page 14 of Film Weekly of 21 August 1930.
The image appears to show a dance at a wedding, as the woman nearest the camera seems to be in bridal dress. The only evidence that the shot is from MacMahon's Robbery Under Arms is the statement to that effect in the 1930 Film Weekly article.
title number 1108659: [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : DOCUMENTATION] : [POSTER].
This is an advertising poster for showings of the film at the Shire Hall, Barcaldine, Queensland, on 3 and 4 December 1908.32 It shows 8 images, possibly frame images, with the titles:
Sticking Up the Goulburn Mail.
Warrigal's Treachery.
Meeting of Moran and Starlight's Gang.
Meeting of Old Ben and Jim Marston.
Starlight's Last Stand.
Cattle Duffing.
Dick Marston in Berrima Gaol. [The goal walls are paintings (or severely retouched)]
The Last of Old Ben Marston.
The photographs have been somewhat crudely retouched, and the images of the faces of the persons shown are not of good quality.
In the "Sticking Up" photograph, one of the characters bears a resemblance to the tall man on the left in the picture above.
This poster, unfortunately, is problematic: the newspaper advertisements for the exhibitions state that they are under "Direction of MacMAHON & CARROLL"33 (i.e. Charles MacMahon and Edward John Carroll), while the poster says "Direction of J. & N. TAIT." But the Taits get no mention in newspaper ad's for or other articles about these screenings, whereas (as far as can be ascertained) for all showings of their film elsewhere their involvement is noted. So at present it cannot be definitively stated that the poster is for exhibitions of MacMahon's Robbery Under Arms.
The origin of the poster is not known, and it may even be a printer's working copy: the text at the bottom (that identifies Bert Ive as the projectionist) is on a strip of paper stuck on over the main sheet of paper.
J. and N. Tait's version
The first notices of another cinematic version of Robbery Under Arms were published on 10 October 1907:
A most interesting biograph film illustrating the principal incidents in Rolf Boldrewood's famous novel, "Robbery Under Arms," has been prepared to the order of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, and will be on exhibition in the course of the next few days.14
and much the same in Melbourne's Punch (p.34, Greenroom Gosip). The "next few days" turned out to be the "next few weeks".
Closer to the time, on 31 October 1907, Melbourne's Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News announced on page 28:
GOSSIP.
Messrs. J. and N. Tait notify in our advertising columns that the first display in moving pictures of the celebrated story, "Robbery Under Arms," will be given at the Athenæum Hall, Melbourne, on Saturday night next (Derby night). The film, which is 5000 feet long, is said to be very fine, and free from faults in regard to detail, as compared with others of a like description.
Presumably the last sentence is a dig at MacMahon.
The Taits' film was first publicly exhibited at matinee and evening screenings on Saturday, 2 November 1907 at the Athenæum Hall in Melbourne,15 and received good reviews; e.g.:
Under the direction of Messrs J. and N. Tait there was presented at the Athenæum Hall on Saturday evening a series of bioscope pictures depicting the many incidents of Mr Rolf Boldrewood's famous Australian novel, Robbery Under Arms. It is said to be the greatest picture story undertaken, and the large audience that watched the thousands upon thousands of feet of films reeled off showed their appreciation of the managerial enterprise by continuous applause. The scenes presented were realistic, and one could well be forgiven for unconsciously forgetting the artificiality in the actuality. The best incidents of the novel have been selected for treatment and especially thrilling pictures are the representations of Jim Marsden's rescue of Miss Falkland, on the brink of Devil's Gap, [the] sticking up of the mail coach, and the robbery of the gold escort. The several characters of the book are well portrayed, and the different incidents are made more realistic by the stage effects.16
It was shown there until a matinee on Wednesday, 27 November,17 a run of 3½ weeks.
A copy then went to Broken Hill, NSW for a 6-night run. This was followed by a 4-months' tour in Western Australia. Another copy was shown in Sydney suburbs, then southern NSW towns, into Victoria, to South Australia, then to Brisbane and Queensland towns, up the coast to Cairns.
In 1923 Millard Johnson, once of Johnson and Gibson, who made The Story of the Kelly Gang for the Taits in 1906, gave a potted history of the early introduction of long feature pictures in Australia. He stated:
In 1903 Charles Urban made a four reel feature called "Living London" without any titles. Mr. W. A. Gibson and myself, in conjunction with Taits, exploited this through Australia and India and did enormous business, so much so that in 1904 Taits asked us to make another and we produced in 1905 "The Kelly Gang," a five reel feature life story, the first ever made, [...]
Every six months we made another of these including "Robbery Under Arms," "Mystery of the Hansom Cab," "Called Back," "The Bells" and others.34
The dates aren't correct, but this is the only known mention that Johnson and Gibson were (in part) responsible for a feature film version of Robbery Under Arms. Exactly what they did on the production, and whether or not there were others involved, are not known.
Of the cast and locations almost nothing is known.18 Veteran actor John F. Forde played, in black-face, Warrigal, and also a trooper. Some of the actors from the Taits' film The Story of the Kelly Gang are thought to have also performed in Robbery Under Arms, and the filming was done in Victoria.19 One advertisement claimed the film cost over £3000 to make, was 4700 ft in length, and took one hour and 20 minutes to present.20
Almost nothing remains about this film. The NFSA holds a single item:
title number 780821: [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : DOCUMENTATION] : [ROBBERY UNDER ARMS : PUBLICITY MATERIAL],
which consists of photocopies of the pages of a 16-page publicity booklet. (Two pages, 2 and 15, presumably blank, are missing from the set of copies.) The origin and whereabouts of the original from which these were taken are unknown. There are five photographs, possibly frame images, in the booklet:
[Cover] [Hold-up of a coach]
[Page 4] MRS. KEIGHTLEY'S HISTORIC RIDE.
[Page 6] "STARLIGHT" RESENTS MORAN'S INSOLENCE.
[Page 8] MARRIAGE OF DICK MARSTON.
[Page 10] "STARLIGHT" ELECTED CAPTAIN.
The photograph on page 8 bears comparison with the image reproduced above. The background building is (or is made to appear as) a church, with little surrounding foliage, so is distinctly different from the building shown above. However, the attire of the characters in both images is similar – though this is to be expected if it represents clothing of the same period. Unfortunately, the images of the faces of the people in the photocopies are too indistinct to be unambiguously compared with those shown above.
On page 14 (the last with text) of this booklet is an advertisement:
The Management announce with much gratification the Special Engagement of the eminent Charactor Actor,
MR. ALBERT LUCAS
who will appear in altogether new, original and delightful
DRAMATIC SKETCHES.
J. W. EEDY, PRINT., SYDNEY.
Albert Lucas accompanied the tour of the film in Queensland from February to April 1908. Apart from performing his own dramatic sketches Lucas provided a commentary while the film was being shown.
The advertisements for the film in Queensland sometimes refer to an illustrated brochure: it seems highly likely that the photocopies now held by the NFSA are of the pages of this brochure.
It would be extremely useful to find an original copy of this booklet, because the photographs therein show well the faces of several of the actors, whose identities could thereby probably be determined.
Were there really two films?
An indication that the two films of Robbery Under Arms were different comes from a comparison of the first published scenarios of them in newspaper advertisements; this shows a difference in details of scenes presented:
The Tait version had a scene set in Melbourne, which is absent from the MacMahon film; and the latter had the Keightley station sequence, which is not in the Taits' film. And, the MacMahon version ended with Captain Starlight's last stand, whereas the Tait film had a "happily ever after" final scene. As no copy of either film is known to exist, it is not possible to be certain of the accuracy or completeness of the above scene synopses: the only information in support of these details is from "reviews" in the newspapers, and these are usually abbreviated and not necessarily reliable. So the above comparison is inconclusive.
On 30 October Sydney's Referee newspaper published a note about the imminent opening of screenings in Melbourne:
J. and N. Tait produce "Robbery Under Arms" per biograph at Melbourne Athenaeum Hall next Saturday night. The drama was biographed by Osborne [sic] and Jerdan, the well-known George-street firm, on 5000 feet of film, and is wonderfully realistic.23
The error was corrected the following week:
The biograph version of "Robbery Under Arms," taken by Osborne and Jerdan, was pictured for Charles MacMahon, not for J. and N. Tait, as has been stated.24
Unfortunately, we aren't told who made the film for the Taits.
In most instances the various touring companies managed to stay clear of one another, and generally one did not go to a town already visited by a rival. But in Western Australia, both MacMahon's film and the Taits' were exhibited concurrently. And the advertisements and other matter published make it obvious that there were different films being shown.
William Anderson, director of the tours of MacMahon's Robbery Under Arms, had hoped to open at His Majesty's Theatre, Perth on 16 December 1907, but had been delayed, ostensibly because the season at Sydney's Oxford Theatre had been extended because of its huge success.
On 14 December, Bernard Andrew Leix, business manager for the Taits in Western Australia, had published in The West Australian newspaper an advertisement for the opening exhibition of the Taits' film on 18 December, at the King's Theatre, Fremantle, Western Australia. And on 20 December, Michael Joseph, MacMahon's business manager, had published the first notice for the MacMahon film, to start on 26 December, also at the King's Theatre, Fremantle; this advertisement is alongside that for the Taits' film, and is dense with text and twice the length. The Taits' film was to move to the Perth Town Hall on 25 December.
The two advertisements confused at least one person, whose letter was printed on 23 December:
To the Editor.
Sir, - As a lover of amusement and frequenter of theatres, I naturally read your amusement column. Oftentimes I am greatly puzzled, and such an instance has now occurred. I don't like to be fooled or misled, and I am sure your policy is anything but that. During the week, at Mr. Anderson's Fremantle theatre, there has been advertised a picture show, "Robbery Under Arms," and on the same page Mr. Joseph, as manager for the same theatre and same director, advertises over his own name, "First presentation in W.A. of . . . 'Robbery Under Arms,'" which opens on Boxing Night. What is Mr. Joseph trying to do with his patrons? - Yours, etc.,
FIRST NIGHTER.25
Joseph's response was published the following day:
To the Editor.
Sir, - "First Nighter," in a letter in your issue of yesterday, endeavoured to make it appear that in advertising the first representation of Messrs. MacMahon's picture-drama, "Robbery Under Arms," to take place at the King's Theatre, Fremantle, on Boxing Night, I am essaying to mislead or fool the public. To make my position clear, may I say in reference to the advertisements, that from a perusal of the advertisement for "Robbery Under Arms" of last week's season in Fremantle, it will be seen that the said picture show was under the direction of Messrs. J. and N. Tait, and under the management of Mr. B. Leix. Mr. Anderson had nothing whatever to do with the said combination, beyond subletting the theatre, as I was bound to do to any person requiring same. How "First Nighter" or "Deadhead" could associate Mr. Anderson's name with it, one is at a loss to [understand]. His name appeared in the usual manner as "Lessee," which is a custom in all theatres in all parts of the world. So far as this particular version of "Robbery Under Arms" is concerned, Boxing Night will certainly see Messrs. MacMahon's first representation in this State, under the direction of Mr. Anderson, which originally should have commenced at His Majesty's Theatre, Perth, on December 16 last, but owing to the extension of the Sydney season was postponed. The above, I trust, will be explanatory enough for "First Nighter." Yours, etc.,
MICHAEL JOSEPH.
His Majesty's Theatre, Perth, December 23.26
And the next day, 25 December 1907, an article appeared in The West Australian that made it clear that there were different versions of the film:
KING'S THEATRE, FREMANTLE.
To-morrow evening Mr. Charles MacMahon's picture drama "Robbery Under Arms" will be presented for the first time in Fremantle. The preparation of a dramatic story on miles of film is a big matter, demanding, if success is to be assured, care and expense in preparation. To start with, Mr. MacMahon had, it is stated, to engage a dramatic company of 25 persons. These had to be persons who could leave the footlights and in the open air move and act convincingly in the grey of a novel environment. All this, it is claimed, was achieved, and the result is a true and vivid representation of Rolf Boldrewood's great play. [sic] The representation of this series is, the management desires to point out, that the said production is a distinct version from that recently presented. [...]27
(My emphasis.)
Matters turned ugly when both films were on exhibition at Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The Taits' film was shown at Her Majesty's Theatre there from 6 through 13 January 1908; MacMahon's film was shown at Morris' Summer Gardens from 7 through 11 January.
The first advertisement for the MacMahon film was a not very conspicuous single-column one on 2 January 1908,28 and it was in a form that was used elsewhere and gave no suggestion that there was another version on show.
On Saturday, 4 January 1908 the first advertisement for the Tait film appeared across three columns, and made an extraordinary claim:
[...]
There are MANY FILMS representing ROLF BOLDREWOOD'S Famous Novel
ROBBERY UNDER ARMS,
But the ORIGINAL SERIES, the Film which showed for a season of Twelve Weeks at Melbourne Town and Athenaeum halls, and thereby created the present boom, and which also turned money away Every Evening from Perth Town Hall during Xmas Week, will be shown for the first time here
MONDAY EVENING NEXT
(JANUARY 6). (JANUARY 6).29
(But the film did not have a twelve weeks' run in Melbourne, only 3½ weeks, nor was it shown at the Melbourne Town Hall. Was the intent here to mislead people who might have heard of a film shown for a 12-week season on the other side of the continent? The Taits' film The Story of the Kelly Gang was shown at both the Town Hall and Athenæum in Melbourne, and it was also a robbery under arms story.)
The following Monday, Michael Joseph, as manager for the MacMahon exhibitions, struck back with a large ad. of two columns:
MORRIS' SUMMER GARDENS.
TO-MORROW (TUESDAY), AND FOLLOWING EVENINGS.
WILLIAM ANDERSON and CHAS. McMAHON'S PICTURE DRAMA -
ROBBERY UNDER
ARMS,
For Which THEY HAVE THE SOLE AUSTRALIAN RIGHTS.
[...]
NO CONNECTION WHATEVER WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTION.30
It seems odd that the fact of the two films being played in the same town at the same time was not commented on in the press. But both managers were paying customers of the newspaper, and to make a comparison between the films could well have resulted in one being recommended over the other, any such favoritism being resented by the manager of the less well reviewed film.
Their Kalgoorlie seasons completed, both films were taken on tour to other towns in Western Australia. The first stop for MacMahon's film was Boulder (near Kalgoorlie) on 13 and 14 January; there was nothing exceptional about the newspaper advertisements for the screenings there. However, when the Taits' version went to Boulder on 17 through 19 February the following notice was published:
"ROBBERY UNDER ARMS."
To-night at the Boulder Mechanics' Institute, Messrs. J. and N. Tait will present for the first time in Boulder their series of moving pictures based upon Rolf. [sic] Boldrewood's novel, "Robbery Under Arms." The Messrs. Tait desire to point out that there is no similarity between their film (which, by the way, showed to crowded audiences in Melbourne for 12 weeks) and a number of other pictures exhibited under the same name. [They] claim that the pictures to be shown to-night are longer, better and truer to the story than any other series yet presented. The season will be limited to three nights.31
The concurrent Western Australian exhibitions were referred to in a vituperative article about the Taits on page 4 of the national New Zealand newspaper NZ Truth on 8 February 1908.35 This is the earliest known explicit mention of the concurrent production of the two films:
THE TAKING TAITS.
In the theatrical world anything is permissible, probable and possible. [...] Everybody who is anybody knows full well that it was due to the enterprise of the three McMahons that a film was taken of the incidents of "Robbery Under Arms," which that firm is showing with great success in the Dominion. They were put to considerable expense and loss of time in superintending its production, and it was a success. They refused the Taits, the greedy grab-alls, any Australian rights, and the two Taits, who have more money, perhaps, behind them than the Macs, set about to get a film of their own, and set up in opposition, and the result recently was that both the McMahon picture and the Tait representation of "Robbery Under Arms" were shown simultaneaously in Perth, W.A., which shows, if nothing else, what dogs-in-the-manger the two greedy Taits are. [...]
Whether the Taits really made their film after finding out that Charles MacMahon was making or had already made one can only be guessed at. If MacMahon's project only became publicly known in mid-September 1907, it seems highly improbable that the Taits could have made a film ready for exhibition "in the course of the next few days" after 10 October. But it was a further 3 weeks before they first showed their version, making a potential total of about 6 weeks for production, which compares with the period from early August to the end of September for MacMahon's production.
William Joseph Lincoln, playwright, theatrical manager, and motion picture director, in 1916 wrote his reminiscences of the history of the movies in Victoria, wherein he stated:
Later, [i.e. after The Story of the Kelly Gang] Robbery Under Arms — a pictorial version of Rolfe Boldrewood's fine novel — saw the light. Strangely enough while the Victorian film was being made Mr Charles M'Mahon had a company at work in Sydney upon a picture dealing with the same story. Both were released about the same time, and both were successful. As I did not see the M'Mahon production I cannot compare them, but doubtless there was little to choose between them. [...]36
Another detail that distinguishes the two versions is that in advertisements for and reports of the MacMahon version, the filming by Charles Byers Coates and production by Osborn and Jerdan is often mentioned; nowhere (so far known) is there a reference to the producers of the Tait version.
It is a great shame that no copy of either film (or even a part thereof) is known to have survived.

Book Synopsis
Robbery Under Arms (1888) is a novel by Rolf Boldrewood, the pseudonym of Australian novelist Thomas Browne. A squatter for nearly twenty-five years, he came to know the ways of life on the outskirts of civilization, which allowed him to lead a peaceful, uncomplicated, and inexpensive existence. Originally serialized in Australian weekly magazines, Browne's work as Rolf Bolfrewood is an incomparable record of colonial Australia, where outlaws and speculators lived side by side on land stolen from the continent's Aboriginal peoples. Robbery Under Arms has been adapted several times for film and theater. "My name's Dick Marston, Sydney-side native. I'm twenty-nine years old, six feet in my stocking soles, and thirteen stone weight. Pretty strong and active with it, so they say. I don't want to blow-not here, any road-but it takes a good man to put me on my back, or stand up to me with the gloves, or the naked mauleys." Imprisoned for his crimes, Dick Marston prepares to be executed. With one month to live, he sits down to write the story of his life as an Australian bushranger. Alongside Captain Starlight, an English nobleman turned outlaw, he participated in a string of cattle thefts and armed robberies that would bring him enough gold and infamy to last a lifetime. Action-packed and fast-paced, Robbery Under Arms is a brilliant adventure novel from one of nineteenth century Australia's most popular writers of fiction. This edition of Rolf Boldrewood's Robbery Under Arms is a classic work of Australian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Or, The First Great Train Robbery (1978) if you are British. I decided to take a look at this old flick (which came out the same year I was born, so I guess I, too, count as “old”) which was written and directed by Michael Crichton of Jurassic Park fame, and stars Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland, and Lesley-Anne Down. Based on a true event that happened in 1855, the film is a pretty typical heist flick, but in fancy period costume, so it hit two of my personal weaknesses right off the bat. Of course, in true 1970s fashion the plot got a little beleaguered with its own high-minded premise and I started to lose interest about halfway through (the gin and tonics didn’t super help, either), so I can’t really comment on whether or not it’s worth watching for the plot. That said, the costumes weren’t terrible and Sean Connery is Sean Connery, if you know what I mean. So if you dig a hairy chest and a Scottish accent, I suppose you may find the film worthwhile!
The costumes were designed by Anthony Mendleson, who had a career going back to the 1940s by the time he got around to putting Lesley-Anne Down in a corset without a chemise in this film, but for folks of my generation/specific taste in bad movies, he’s probably best known for his work on Dragonslayer (1981) and Krull (1983). Honestly, while there are a couple of standout uses of upholstery in period costume in The Great Train Robbery, much of the costumery is … well … It’s not great, but it’s not bad.Â
All in all, this film is not going to blow anyone’s socks off with an amazing plot or amazing acting or, obviously, amazing costuming. But it was a harmless 1 hour and 50 minutes and I’m not mad about having watched it.

Amanda Knox (2016)
The saga of Amanda Knox has been one of the most public cases of the modern age. This 2016 documentary chronicles her journey from being convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher to her experience of being smeared by the press and her eventual acquittal. Knox tells her story in her own words, alongside interviews with her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito (also convicted and acquitted) and others involved in the case, all speaking directly to the camera. As EW's critic observed of this effect, "What you end up with are portraits of individuals — people who are scared or angry or ambitious — all a part of a story that, from the start, ignored their humanity." —Kevin Jacobsen
Where to watch Amanda Knox: Netflix
EW grade: B+ (read the review)

American Murder: The Family Next Door (2020)
This unusual documentary examines the heart-wrenching true story of what happened to Shanann Watts and her children when they disappeared from their Colorado home in 2018. Playing out as a found-footage film, American Murder: The Family Next Door is unique in that it unravels the details without traditional narration or extra dramatization. Instead, the chilling events unfold through the use of home movies, social media posts, phone calls, text messages, newscasts, and security footage from police officers and interrogation rooms. The result is an eerily intimate view into a terrible tragedy, and the film will leave you pondering the many public theories that have since come to light. —Melissa Sherrard

American Nightmare (2024)
On March 23, 2015, Aaron Quinn dialed 911 to report a bizarre crime: He and his girlfriend, Denise Huskins, were ambushed in their home by an intruder who blindfolded them with blacked-out swim goggles, drugged them with NyQuil, and abducted Denise in the trunk of his white Mustang. But instead of finding refuge in the arms of the law, Aaron found himself in the crosshairs as the prime suspect. That is, until Denise reappeared days later, triggering a media storm that likened her ordeal to a real-life Gone Girl ruse. From the creators of The Tinder Swindler (2023) comes a riveting three-part docuseries that dives deep into more than just a headline-grabbing crime, dissecting matters such as the stigmatization of rape survivors, the influence of pop culture on our collective consciousness, and the shortcomings within our justice system. —James Mercadante

This award-winning documentary follows the revelation that USA Gymnastics (USAG) doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually assaulting countless female athletes under his care. The exposé began when reporters at The Indianapolis Star got a tip that they should investigate USAG. As the truth slowly came out, gymnast Maggie Nichols (referred to as "Athlete A" at the time to protect her identity) was key to shedding light on the abuses that had been going on for years, supposedly with a nod from at least one of the organization's higher-ups. One of the rare examples of true crime being inspiring, Athlete A is a valuable record of recent history and a beacon of accountability. —M.S.

Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019)
Yoga’s evolution from a traditional Indian practice to Western exercise movement can be partially attributed to the rise of Bikram yoga. Bikram Choudhury — a world famous yogi whose clientele in the 1970s included everyone from Hollywood actors to Richard Nixon — founded Bikram’s Yoga College of India in Los Angeles, and his popularity and teacher training programs helped foster the yoga health trend in the late-‘90s. Described by one of his former students as a “cross between Mother Teresa and Howard Stern,” Bikram’s yoga empire came crashing down amidst accusations of rape and sexual harassment that emerged in the 21st century. A film directed by Eva Orner, Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator tells the story of Yogi Bikram’s rise and fall, as told by the people who studied with him, the women who were abused by him, and the followers who continue to defend him. —Ilana Gordon

This fast-paced, gritty docuseries dives into the drug wars of the 1980s and how cocaine — and the money that followed it — transformed South Florida. The series describes the heyday of drug trafficking in Miami in particular, exploring how the kingpins held power through scare tactics and keeping the body count sky high. With detailed interviews, crime scene photos, and fascinating stories, Cocaine Cowboys gives a behind-the-scenes look into a world that seems far away. —M.S.

Dirty Money (2018–2020)
Corporate corruption is always entertaining, and Dirty Money carries that torch further. Each episode in its two seasons takes a deep dive into how greed, creative accounting, and outright fraud can cause widespread damage while those in the know make out like bandits. True incidents like the Volkswagen emissions scandal and the underhanded actions behind the growth of Wells Fargo are brought to life through interviews with both victims of these financial crimes and those who committed them. It's as infuriating as it is entertaining, and it's a great way to get a fully fleshed-out true crime story in quick hit episodes. —M.S.

Escaping Twin Flames (2023)
Fans of Cecilia Peck’s Starz docuseries Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult might want to check out her newest project, Escaping Twin Flames. One of two documentaries released on the Twin Flames Universe cult in 2023 (the other is Desperately Seeking Soulmate: Escaping Twin Flames Universe, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video), Peck’s new three-part docuseries tells the story of a couple who converted their success on YouTube into roles as the leaders of a cult targeting people looking for love. The accusations leveled at the cult are familiar — abuse, control, indoctrination — but Escaping Twin Flames does a good job of shining a light on a little-known community that preys on people so determined to find love, they’re willing to look past the red flags of the high-control group they were in. —I.G.

Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018)
It's not hard to see how the 2003 murder of Brian Wells — now known as the "collar bomb" or "pizza bomber" case — still piques the curiosity of true crime enthusiasts even two decades later. This four-part docuseries reveals that nothing is as it seems, given that Wells may have actually been under duress himself when he tried to rob a bank in Erie, Pa., in 2003. Tune in for the twisted timeline of events that led to a senseless murder, and stay for the fascinating correspondence the directors maintained with the alleged mastermind behind the robbery-gone-wrong. —M.S.

The Family (2019)
For some people, few things are scarier than a religious cult — unless that cult is also pulling the strings behind a powerful government. That's exactly what The Family claims is going on in Washington, D.C., as an influential group of Christian men called the Fellowship Foundation wields its influence to bring about its favored goals on a global scale. The five-part limited series teases out the few known details about the group, shedding light on the many conspiracy theories that surround its members, practices, and ambitions. If even just some of the criminal activity alleged in the series is true, it's pretty diabolical stuff. —M.S.

Girl in the Picture (2022)
This one's for the diehard mystery lovers. When a woman is found dying on a roadside leaving behind a husband (or so he says) and son, it seems like an open-and-shut case of a tragic hit-and-run accident. However, discovering her true identity and what happened to her son after her death was a daunting task for the FBI and other authorities — exposing how a federal fugitive had kidnapped and abused the young woman decades prior. With more twists and turns than a long and winding road, Girl in the Picture offers an unforgettable ride. —M.S.

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker (2023)
After a video of Caleb "Kai" McGillvary animatedly recounting a crime he witnessed (and stopped with his hatchet) while hitchhiking in California in 2013 went viral, the young man became a national sensation. However, as the overnight spotlight drew cheers from admirers of his heroism across the country, it also caught the attention of authorities in New Jersey who thought Kai may be responsible for a murder on the east coast. This true crime documentary shows how the media's quick obsession with the Canadian fueled his rise to fame and played a major part in his 2019 murder trial. Even if you haven't seen the video, you might have seen a meme, song, or another piece of pop culture referencing Kai's memorable reenactment of "smash, smash, smash" — and The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker does a great job of telling the much larger, darker story. —M.S.

Icarus (2017)
This fascinating sports/political documentary is like following a thread that gradually reveals itself to be a tangled mess. Director Bryan Fogel unwinds this story in a gripping fashion, investigating illegal steroid use among athletes in Russia by developing a relationship with the head of an anti-doping lab in the country. The scientist, Grigory Rodchenkov, then drops a bombshell about his involvement in a doping program that allowed the country to evade detection in the 2014 Winter Olympics. This revelation soon becomes an international scandal, resulting in threats to Rodchenkov's life. The propulsive doc rightfully won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, with Fogel stating in his acceptance speech, "We hope Icarus is a wake-up call — yes, about Russia, but more than that, about the importance of telling the truth, now more than ever." —K.J.

The Keepers (2017)
The most affecting cold case docuseries on Netflix is without a doubt the still-unsolved murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik. In 1969, the young nun was an English and drama teacher at a private all-girls high school in Baltimore before she went missing. Her body was found in 1970, and we learn through interviews with former students that she suspected a priest at the school of sexually abusing students. Each episode leaves viewers with more questions than answers, and by the end, there's still no definite conclusion. But the story leaves its mark nonetheless, with EW's critic praising The Keepers as "synthesized with the compounds that have rejuvenated this very old, often dubious genre and made it a buzzy, conscionable kick." —M.S.

Chronicling the crimes of disgraced financier Bernie Madoff, the four-part docuseries details how he pulled off one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in history, taking Wall Street for a ride we'll be referencing for decades to come. Using interviews with victims, former employees, whistleblowers, investigators, and never-before-seen footage of depositions given by Madoff himself, it's clear that he's a master of manipulation, though the filmmakers point to the failure of regulators to act on the many red flags they saw along the way. —M.S.

However, things are not as straightforward as they seem, with the docuseries generating plenty of publicity and calls to release Avery, all while Wisconsin officials cry foul over its depiction of their work.

Sins of Our Mother (2022)
Sins of Our Mother is not for the faint of heart. Through firsthand accounts, viewers are introduced to Lori Vallow and her descent into intense religious fanaticism, with beliefs that people are filled with either "dark" or "light" spirits (or worse, spiritless "zombies" she and her fifth husband were tasked with killing off), that she could communicate with angels, and that the world would end in 2020. Soon, people started to turn up dead or missing, including two of Vallow's children — and this limited docuseries examines the build-up and aftermath of the troubled mother's alleged crimes. Even those who are only mildly interested in true crime stories won't be able to turn away from this one. —M.S.

This 13-episode true crime miniseries covers the murder trial of Michael Peterson, a novelist who was accused of killing his wife, Kathleen, in their home after police found her bloody body at the bottom of a staircase. The question facing law enforcement seems straightforward enough: Was Kathleen's death a cold-blooded murder or an honest accident? But when Michael's secrets and a bit of international intrigue get thrown into the mix, things start to get hazy. The family at the center is left questioning everything as a documentary crew films their journey right from the start. With universal acclaim and real footage from the courtroom and family interviews over several years, The Staircase is one of the most intriguing true crime series on Netflix. —M.S.

Strong Island (2017)
Yance Ford's Oscar-nominated documentary about the 1992 murder of his brother William is a deeply personal story of racial injustice. Told from Ford and his family's perspective, the film delves into the murder and subsequent trial, where an all-white jury failed to convict the killer, Mark P. Reilly, a white man. It's a difficult watch, but one that continues to be relevant as America reckons with the sins of the past. As EW's critic wrote of the film, "Strong builds a poignant, methodical portrait of loss. Telling William's story won't bring him back, but at least it will let the world know he lived." —M.S.

Robbery Under Arms is a bushranger novel by Thomas Alexander Browne, published under his pen name Rolf Boldrewood. It was first published in serialised form by The Sydney Mail between July 1882 and August 1883, then in three volumes in London in 1888. It was abridged into a single volume in 1889 as part of Macmillan’s one-volume Colonial Library series and has not been out of print since.
It is considered a classic of Australian colonial literature, alongside Marcus Clarke's convict novel For the Term of his Natural Life (1876) and Fergus Hume’s mystery crime novel The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886), and has inspired numerous adaptations in film, television, and theatre.
Writing in the first person, the narrator Dick Marston tells the story of his life and loves and his association with the notorious bushranger Captain Starlight, a renegade from a noble English family. Set in the bush and goldfields of Australia in the 1850s, Starlight's gang, with Dick and his brother Jim's help, sets out on a series of escapades that include cattle theft and robbery under arms.

The suave Scot found fame in shows and films like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Great Escape and NCIS.

For a certain generation, David McCallum will always be Illya Kuryakin, the mysterious Soviet agent in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
The role turned the actor into a global sex symbol, his public appearances besieged by screaming teenage girls.
He cut his teeth in 1950s British cinema and also found wider fame in the The Great Escape, Colditz and Sapphire & Steel.
Later, he reached a new audience as Dr Donald "Ducky" Mallard, the medical examiner in US TV drama NCIS.
David Keith McCallum was born on 19 Sep 1933 in the Maryhill area of Glasgow. His father David, a violinist, became leader of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, which necessitated a family move to London in 1936. His mother was an accomplished cellist.
The young McCallum won a scholarship to the University College School in north London and took up the oboe with a view to a classical music career.
But he developed a fascination for acting. There were appearances as a child in BBC radio drama and involvement in amateur dramatics. A well-received performance as the doomed prince in Shakespeare's King John helped him make the decision.
"I pleaded, unsuccessfully, with the assassin not to kill me," he later recalled. "It is a real tear-jerker, and the audience applauded wildly at the end. It was in that moment I realised that my home in this world was on a stage."
He did his National Service policing the British Empire with the Royal West African Frontier Force before returning home and attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada).
There were backstage jobs to subsidise an acting career - much to the disappointment of his father, who felt his son was wasting his time.
"Then I did a film called Robbery Under Arms and my name was up in huge letters on the Odeon Leicester Square. He and I walked by, and he said, 'I think you have made the right choice after all.'"
There were minor parts in a number of films including Hell Drivers, where he appeared with his future wife, Jill Ireland, before he finally wowed the critics as Steven Wyatt in 1962 film Billy Budd.
The following year, he appeared as Lieutenant Commander Eric Ashley-Pitt in the The Great Escape which, over the ensuing years, became a staple of bank holiday TV viewing.
In 1964, McCallum was offered a bit part as Illya Kuryakin in a TV pilot called Solo, a spy series created as a vehicle for actor Robert Vaughan. But fan reaction to his performance saw his role greatly enhanced when the series proper launched under a new title, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
His blonde good looks, coupled with his decision to play his character as a man of mystery, made him a huge favourite with the show's female fans.
When McCallum arrived in London in 1966, his airport reception from ranks of screaming girls rivalled that of The Beatles. During U.N.C.L.E.'s run, studio MGM announced he had received more fan mail than any previous performer, including Elvis Presley.
In an attempt to counter the competition from newer TV spy dramas, the producers put more emphasis on the camp nature of the show in later series, and injected more humour, The results were disastrous and it ended in 1968.
By this time, so had his marriage to Jill Ireland, who left him for the actor Charles Bronson. In 1967, he married Katherine Carpenter.
When not working on the series, McCallum found time to return to music. He worked on four albums blending his oboe with horns, strings and drums in instrumental interpretations of hits of the day.
McCallum struggled to regain the global fame that U.N.C.L.E. brought him. There were a series of small parts in some unmemorable films but he continued to be much in demand on the small screen.
In 1972, he found himself back in a prisoner of war camp as the hot-headed Flight Lieutenant Simon Carter in BBC drama Colditz. The series proved immensely popular and the only disappointment was that it was not widely shown in the US.
After playing the lead role of Alan Breck Stewart in a TV production of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Kidnapped, McCallum paired up with Joanna Lumley in the ATV sci-fi drama series Sapphire & Steel.
"I love what he does," he once said. "I like the humour of his mind. I like the fact that he that he rambles on but, more than that, he's given me the opportunity to learn so much."
In a nod to his U.N.C.L.E. role, one scene had a character asking: "What did Ducky look like when he was younger?" Another character replied: "Illya Kuryakin."
McCallum published his first novel in 2016, Once a Crooked Man, a book he described as "the sort of good yarn you can pick up at an airport, read on the plane and give it to a friend at the other end".
McCallum once admitted that he rewatched episodes of The Man From U.N.C.L.E., the series that brought him a global audience and mass adulation.
"I had no idea why people had this emotional response to Illya Kuryakin," he said. "When you`re doing it, you don`t realise what it is you`re doing.
"But seeing it 50 years later, I can see how people found him kind of enigmatic and attractive, and just having fun."

Following the huge critical and commercial success of A Town Like Alice, this 1957 Australian western reunited Oscar winner Peter Finch and British director Jack Lee. An adaptation of Thomas Alexander Browne's classic novel charting the exploits of notorious nineteenth-century bushranger Captain Starlight, Robbery Under Arms sees Finch heading an impressive cast that includes Jill Ireland, Ronald Lewis and David McCallum. Partly filmed on location in Australia, Robbery Under Arms is presented here in a transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.During the mid 1860s, brothers Dick and Jim Marston are drawn into a life of crime by their ex-convict father Ben and his friend, infamous cattlethief Captain Starlight. Making their way to Melbourne with the proceeds of a recent raid, the brothers meet and romance the Morrison sisters, Kate and Jean, whom they eventually marry; but just as they are poised to start a new life in America, Captain Starlight and his gang arrive in town, planning a raid at the local bank...SPECIAL FEATURES:[] Image gallery [] Original theatrical trailer

One peculiarity of European aristocrats is that their names pile up, like snowdrifts. It’s lunchtime in Tirana, the capital of Albania, and I am about to meet Leka Anwar Zog Reza Baudouin Msiziwe Zogu, crown prince of the Albanians.
The Albanian royal residence is easy to miss, tucked away on a quiet side street behind the national art museum. While Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms, including 188 staff bedrooms, 19 staterooms, and 78 bathrooms, the Albanian residence would be among the smaller, more understated houses in a wealthy American suburb. Its front gate opens onto a yard where the country stores its unwanted Soviet statues: Lenin, Stalin, and the Albanian Communist leader Enver Hoxha all gaze with stony fortitude at a generic Stakhanovite maiden. Lenin has no arms. Hoxha’s nose is missing. The gate is guarded by an elderly manservant for whom the term faithful retainer might have been invented. Because I am British, his thinly disguised irritation at my presence makes me feel right at home.
And here is the prince: 39 years old, more than six feet tall, with a sandy beard, navy blazer, and soft South African accent, saying goodbye to his wife, Crown Princess Elia, and their 1-year-old daughter, Princess Geraldine. The pair are about to go to the park—without bodyguards—and Prince Leka II takes me inside, to the drawing room, where the faithful retainer brings me an espresso. Next door is a room devoted to Albanian history (“what a lovely scimitar,” I find myself exclaiming, my reserves of small talk inadequate at the sight of the family’s sword collection), and beyond that is a cozy lounge with a leather sofa, its domesticity slightly compromised by the bows and arrows hanging on the wall.
Leka’s cosmopolitan name tells the story of his family. Zog is for his grandfather, an Ottoman bey, or chieftain, who became prime minister of Albania in 1922 and upgraded himself to president three years later, then to king in 1928. That arrangement lasted for 11 years, before Mussolini invaded, in 1939, and made Albania part of the Italian empire. Zog fled to Greece, along with his wife, Geraldine, and two-day-old son, whose name would later be styled Leka I. The family subsequently moved to Turkey, then France, then London, then Egypt, and then back to France, where Zog died, in 1961. His widow and son moved to Spain and then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) before ending up in South Africa.
Leka II’s other names pay tribute to the leaders who helped the royal household in its long exile: Anwar is for Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat; Reza is for Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last shah of Iran; Baudouin is for Boudewijn, an uncle of the current king of Belgium. Msiziwe is a Zulu honorific, derived from the word for “helper,” a reminder that when Zog’s grandson was born, in South Africa, the government symbolically designated the maternity ward as Albanian soil.
Prince Leka grew up in the last days of apartheid. He has a strong childhood memory of visiting the beach at Durban and asking why the family’s Zulu driver could not join them. “It was a white beach,” he says. Then he looked across at the Black children playing in their segregated area and wondered why he couldn’t play with them. “Do you ever watch Trevor Noah?” he asks me. “I resonate with his ideas, his philosophy,” he says, leaning forward in his chair. “If we don’t recall our legacy and the torments of the past, it’s nothing good for the future.”
Leka is a paradox—a royal prince living in a democratic republic. His position is lonely, as the only son of an only son. He has assigned himself an immense task: to act as a unifying figure in a poor country with a febrile political system still scarred by half a century of authoritarianism, in a region marked by religious violence. And the tools available to him are few: a resonant name, a gentle manner, and a handful of social-media accounts. Leka is active on Facebook and Instagram, and occasionally drops into Twitter, where his unverified account promises to share a “combination of personal and official happenings.”
Across Europe, royal families are variously seen as tourist attractions, embarrassing artifacts, spiritual leaders, and symbols of national identity. Several countries that exiled their monarchs in favor of fascism, communism, or military rule—Greece, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and of course Albania—have now allowed their royal families back home, making uneasy pacts with history. They are royal but not royal, monarchs without thrones, caught between the past and the future. A surprising number of them have gone into politics. What do their countries want from them?
Leka lives modestly; the original royal palace was confiscated by the Communists in 1946, and the royal household today receives no funding from the state. He has no constitutionally recognized role. And he has only a minuscule chance of regaining the throne. In some ways, his story is quintessentially Millennial: In previous generations, a crown prince could look forward to a secure, permanent job, with a salary and great benefits. Instead Leka is performing royal duties for “exposure,” in hopes of being hired full-time.
Think of it as an unpaid internship in monarchy.
The history of Europe can be told through its royal dynasties—the Habsburgs, the Bourbons, the Romanovs, the Stuarts, the House of Hohenzollern, the House of Orange. Some kings were imported: The great powers of Europe decided that Albania needed a monarch, so in 1914 they sent over a German army captain to do the job. (He lasted six months before being forced into exile.) Some kings were elected: The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth’s laudable attempt to widen the monarchy’s applicant pool led to repeated wars. Some kings were executed: Charles I of England lost his head to an ax and Louis XVI to the guillotine.
Europe has 12 remaining monarchies, including three principalities and a grand duchy. But the continent is also lousy with dethroned or exiled royals, many of whom have returned to their ancestral homelands. King Michael of Romania was kicked out by Communists, but his daughter Margareta, custodian of the Romanian crown, is back there, and has co-founded a charitable foundation. Constantine II, a former king of Greece, flew his family to safety in Italy after a coup in 1967. He now lives a quiet life in a Greek resort town. Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia was born in a suite at Claridge’s in London after his father fled Yugoslavia during the Second World War. He now lives in the royal palace in Belgrade. Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, a former king of Bulgaria, spent 50 years in exile. He served as the country’s prime minister soon after he was allowed home, in 1996.
The further royals get from power, the odder the whole business seems. There are three main claimants to the French throne. One of them—Jean-Christophe Napoléon Bonaparte, who works in private equity—has a LinkedIn profile. Another, Jean d’Orléans, count of Paris, is six generations away from the last king of France, Louis-Philippe, but feels the need to keep the monarchist presence alive on the internet. “In the last 30 years, the politics of our country has completely altered our social bonds through its hedonistic individualism,” he explains on his website. “It therefore seemed important to me to accompany my commitments with appropriate communication.” (For the record, this is also why I tweet.)
The third claimant goes even further. Louis de Bourbon, duke of Anjou, has the type of spicily partisan Twitter presence more usually associated with Substack writers. The self-styled Louis XX has spoken out against gay marriage and backed the “silent majority” of France’s “yellow vest” protesters. In 2020, after an activist removed the hand of a royal statue in Kentucky during racial-justice protests, he tweeted: “As the heir of #LouisXVI, and attached to the defense of his memory, I do hope that the damage will be repaired and that the statue will be restored.” Americans were unimpressed. Many of the 8,000 quote-tweets ran along the same lines: “Your family has never been particularly good at reading the room have they,” said one. “You act like that’s the worst body part Louis XVI ever lost in front of a crowd,” offered another.
The French public has greeted the jostling among the three pretenders mostly with indifference or contempt. But other former kingdoms have taken a softer stance toward their aristocrats. Leka’s presence in Tirana is a signal that the intolerant, paranoid days of communism are over. Although his father’s politics were right-wing, he is resolutely nonpartisan, and his patchwork family—Anglican mother, Catholic grandmother, Muslim grandfather, and Orthodox wife—is a model for a country trying to resist the divisions that have long plagued the Balkans. He presents himself as the answer to a question: If a country does not define itself by a religion or an ideology, does it need another focal point, a symbol of national unity? “We are lacking role models,” says Grida Duma, a member of Parliament for the center-right Democratic Party. “From Byzantine times, we have had the luck and the misluck to be in the middle of cultures—and being small, as a country in the middle of cultures, it’s very hard to create identity.”
Before I arrived in Tirana, the royal household assigned me a fixer—Biniamin Bakalli, billed online as the family’s former “head of protocol,” now a voluble middle-aged businessman with an American passport and a deep loathing of communism. Ahead of the scheduled interview with Prince Leka, Bakalli took me to an underground museum in the center of the city, made from one of the country’s 170,000 abandoned bunkers, which stand as concrete-and-steel monuments to the Communist dictator Enver Hoxha’s paranoia. Bakalli paid the admission fees, although he noted later that he was entitled to free entry, because the victims of communism whom the museum was set up to remember include several members of his family.
Hoxha was still in power when Leka was born, in 1982. Back then, his family’s chances of returning to Albania looked remote: If they did, they were likely to be executed by the Communist government. Even owning a picture of King Zog carried a long prison sentence.
Under Communist rule, Albania proclaimed itself a republic and disavowed its former monarch. Lea Ypi, a London School of Economics professor who grew up in Communist Albania, recalls that whenever the former ruler was mentioned in her lessons at school, it was never as King Zog, but as “Zog the tyrant.” A handsome, ruthless chain-smoker with a tiny mustache, he’d thrived in the bear pit of Albanian politics and reportedly survived more than 50 assassination attempts.
That the Communist regime branded him a tyrant is ironic, however. Hoxha—or “Uncle Enver,” as children were told to call him—executed at least 6,000 political opponents, intellectuals, and religious leaders. He killed his own brother-in-law and all but one of his interior ministers. He broke with the post-Stalin Soviet Union after deciding that Nikita Khrushchev was a softy. His only major allies were the Chinese Communists—until 1978, when he broke with them too. Long poised between the Ottoman empire and Christian Europe, Albania had been a religiously diverse country for centuries, but in 1967 it became an atheist state, because Hoxha’s government tolerated no alternative power bases.
The exhibits at the bunker museum demonstrate his mania for control—for instance, he had the beards of tourists shaved off at the border—and the totality of the surveillance state he constructed. Ypi’s family developed an elaborate code to discuss friends and family who were taken to labor camps, referring to them as going to “college” and either “graduating” (being released) or “dropping out” (being executed).
Hoxha died in 1985, leaving behind the third-poorest country in the world. His legacy of a one-party state ended six years later, when the first multiparty elections were held. The transition from communism to capitalism was fraught, as an estimated two-thirds of the population used their new economic freedom to invest in pyramid schemes—the inevitable collapse of which caused panic, riots, and mass emigration. By the late 1990s, Ypi says, “there was no state.” In addition to food shortages and electrical blackouts—nothing new—the old armories had been looted. Men and women carried weapons, “and because they had been trained under communism to use guns, they could also use them.”
Against this background, King Zog’s son secured a referendum on the return of the monarchy in 1997. The striking, 6-foot-8 Leka I, who regularly dressed in military fatigues, returned to Albania to campaign. He toured the country to make his case; Ypi remembers watching television ads extolling the virtues of kingship. “Every evening, a split screen showed images of Albania in flames alongside photos of landmarks in Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm,” she writes in Free, her recent memoir. “Written in blue under the photos one could read: ‘Norway: Constitutional Monarchy’; ‘Denmark: Constitutional Monarchy’; ‘Sweden: Constitutional Monarchy.’ ” All this could be yours, the commercials promised, if you just let the heirs to Zog return home. Ypi watched these ads over the sound of Kalashnikovs being fired in the streets.
The ad campaign didn’t work. The official result was a two-thirds majority for a republic, although Leka I would maintain to his death that the vote had been rigged against him. A recount led to protests, which led to violence, which led to Leka I fleeing the country again, and being convicted in absentia of organizing an armed uprising. But the wheel kept turning, and five years later, in 2002, he was granted amnesty and invited home. Next to him as he disembarked from a plane at Tirana’s airport was his 20-year-old son.
Suddenly, Prince Leka II’s life changed. He went from being a private citizen in the global South to a half-prince in a homeland he had never really known. He had grown up surrounded by Albanians, “old mountain men” of his grandfather’s generation, who reminisced about a bygone version of the country. He always felt his destiny was there.
“I can’t believe it’s 20 years since I’ve been back,” Leka tells me as we drink our coffee under a picture of his grandparents’ wedding ceremony, rescued a few years ago from a shop run by two little old ladies. I tell him that the worst part about approaching 40 is that you realize you are, indisputably, a grown-up. “We’re getting old,” he agrees. “And as you reach the age of 40, you ask yourself: What have we achieved? ”
After the family’s return, the young Leka fashioned for himself a course in kingship. Like his father, he attended Sandhurst military academy, England’s equivalent of West Point. He studied international relations in Kosovo, and Italian in Perugia, Italy. After returning to Tirana, he worked for the Albanian government, spending three years as an adviser in the ministry of foreign affairs, then three years in the ministry of the interior and a year in the president’s office.
Still, Leka is right to wonder: What has he achieved? When his father died a decade ago, Leka inherited a crown that doesn’t exist. He has a job that very few people in history have ever held—but what exactly is it?
He does charity work through a foundation named after his grandmother Queen Geraldine. Sometimes he acts as a kind of diplomatic wingman: In 2019, he accompanied the Albanian president on a visit to Monaco. He also receives pleas for help in navigating Albania’s labyrinthine (and corrupt) bureaucracy and legal systems. “You have to understand, it’s a very difficult country,” Leka says. “And a lot of people feel that they are disenfranchised or neglected; they have issues.” The mysterious, enduring glamour of monarchy means that nonprofits, international organizations, and politicians take his calls.
And then there is his unofficial ambassadorial role, improving the international reputation of a country that was closed to outsiders for half a century. When other Europeans think of Albania at all, many imagine it as an exporter of drug dealers and criminal gangs. This casual prejudice was the reason Leka accepted an interview request out of the blue from a British writer at an American magazine. “You’re five times more likely to be robbed in London than Tirana,” he tells me. “We have 375 kilometers of pristine coastline, the Ionian Sea, the Adriatic Sea … The potential which Albania has is quite incredible.” He is right; this is a country with medieval ruins, wild mountains, and not a single McDonald’s.
One of the greatest functions of royalty is simply to be seen. That is why medieval monarchs held royal progresses, touring their lands, touching the sick, and hearing the grievances of the poor. They sent portraits of themselves to be displayed in cathedrals and countinghouses. They put their face on coins. The modern version of this is social media, and Leka has become a sort of, well, prinfluencer. His wife, Elia, is particularly popular on Instagram—she was a member of the Albanian answer to the Spice Girls before marrying him—and he posts photos of himself with extravagantly bearded religious leaders or in black tie at the weddings of fellow royals, and the occasional selfie at the beach with baby Geraldine.
It is fashionable to deride modern celebrities as “famous for being famous,” but this is a style pioneered by shadow monarchs. With no army or bureaucracy to enact their desires, they draw power from their symbolism.
Like other kinds of influencers, though, modern royals (and pretenders) must carefully defend their brands from controversy. They tend to promote virtues that are nebulous and expansive enough to seem above party politics. “Tolerance” is the most obvious, as a softer way of talking about pluralism. “Taking care of the planet” is the defanged version of environmentalism. “Empowering women” is another favorite, although even this is considered edgy in Albania, where Leka gets dismissive comments when he takes Geraldine out in her stroller alone—many Albanians see child-rearing as women’s work and therefore demeaning for a father, never mind a prince. In that context, his support for women’s charities and his Instagram dad-posts are quiet political statements.
This is one way Leka is unlike his father—the “soldier,” as the son refers to him. “He was from a different era,” he tells me, choosing his words carefully. In fact, a repeated refrain I hear from many people I meet in Albania is that Leka is too nice to be a ruler. “He’s well mannered, well educated, and, politically, sorry, he’s too good,” the Albanian journalist and author Erald Kapri says. He doesn’t have the killer instinct? I ask. “In Albanian politics, you should have it.”
Leka himself deflects the question of whether he will ever be king. “As a family, we are not working for a referendum,” he says. He wants to “be part of the system,” and is pleased when he is asked to join government meetings with foreign ambassadors and emissaries from NATO and the European Union. When I ask him about the loneliness of his job—whom does he complain to?—he responds with a quick smile: “I never complain.” I press him, hoping to discover a secret WhatsApp group of dispossessed royals sending one another cry-laughing emoji under the table at boring state dinners. He will admit only to discussing his job with his wife.
Karl von Habsburg has entered the Zoom. The 61-year-old head of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine would today be the leader of the Austro-Hungarian empire, if there were an Austro-Hungarian empire left to lead. Instead, he is fiddling with his microphone and talking to me.
Karl’s father, Otto, was the last crown prince, born in 1912. His given names were Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius, and his titles included king of Hungary and Bohemia, margrave of Moravia, and grand prince of Transylvania. It was the assassination of Otto’s great-uncle Archduke Franz Ferdinand that triggered the First World War—and in turn the dissolution of an empire that covered parts of modern-day Austria, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Czech Republic, among other nations.
Otto von Habsburg was a child when he became an ex–crown prince, and he had to find a new path. He learned seven languages, and he remained active in politics, earning a doctorate in political and social sciences and opposing the rise of the Nazis. He fled to the United States after Austria was annexed by Hitler. Otto devoted himself to “pan-Europeanism,” pragmatically renouncing the throne in 1961 and spending 20 years as a member of the European Parliament instead—not as fancy as being an emperor, admittedly, but the expenses were generous and there was less chance of being assassinated. Otto helped organize the Pan-European Picnic of 1989, on the border between Austria, in the free-market west of Europe, and Hungary, part of the communist east. It was described in his Guardian obituary as “one of the events that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of Soviet communism.”
Four of Otto’s children also became politicians: Karl is a former member of the European Parliament for Austria, Walburga was in the Swedish Parliament, Gabriela was the Georgian ambassador to Germany, and Georg is the Hungarian ambassador to France. “What people tend to forget is that my ancestors were for 800 years professional politicians,” Karl tells me. “Yes, the circumstances have changed slightly … but you’re stuck with the bug.” The “bug,” in Karl’s case, means a genuine and lifelong advocacy for pan-Europeanism, which is an unfashionable sentiment in an age of rising nationalism.
For Karl’s birthday last year, a group of Czech monarchists made him a replica of their country’s revered Crown of Saint Wenceslas. From the news reports, I sensed a slight mismatch in enthusiasm between the monarchists and their desired monarch. Was this not awkward—a reminder of what he had lost? “It is very impolite not to accept presents,” he tells me, diplomatically. “So it’s very nice. But then on the other side, this is not exactly a piece you would like to have standing at home on your mantelpiece.” He has given the replica to the Order of St. George in Vienna, to be displayed in its offices.
What can an old family like the Habsburgs offer 21st-century Europe? “A sense of history,” Karl says. “If you want to understand or do any prediction on what might theoretically be happening in the future, you have to base it on something.” Like other shadow royals, he performs an informal diplomatic function, as a kind of ermine-clad back channel. When the funeral of King Hassan II of Morocco was being arranged in 1999, Karl tells me, “I was in a rather advanced position compared to the representative of the Austrian state, because there’s a personal relationship there also between his family and my family.”
Bearing that in mind, I ask whether he thinks the Habsburgs will ever be restored to power. “The words never and always, these are two expressions that should only be used in a religious context, and not necessarily the political context,” Karl replies. And then, with the assurance that flows from membership in a dynasty that first sat on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire in 1273, he adds, casually: “Two generations in this framework, it’s very little.”
“Royalty was like dandelions,” writes the fantasy author Terry Pratchett in Feet of Clay, his novel about the appearance of a long-lost heir to the fictional throne of Ankh-Morpork. “No matter how many heads you chopped off, the roots were still there underground, waiting to spring up again … Whoever had created humanity had left in a major design flaw. It was its tendency to bend at the knees.”
Removing the monarchy doesn’t remove this tendency. Look at the United States, in thrall to its own aristocratic dynasties—the Kennedys, the Bushes, arguably even the Trumps—and delighted to have a satellite branch of the House of Windsor, even though the country fought a literal war to make Prince Harry’s ancestors butt out of American politics. Monarchy speaks to a deep need in people—the need for a connection with the past, and a sense of continuity across time. Less wholesomely, it also suggests a widespread desire for fixed, unarguable hierarchies and a lingering opposition to the idea that jobs should be distributed on merit. These are strong currents in the human psyche, and they are resistant to change.
On my last day in Albania, I meet Erion Veliaj, the Socialist mayor of Tirana, at a private lounge in the airport. Young, forceful, and charismatic, he explains that his party’s roots lie in the anti-monarchist movement, “but that doesn’t blind me to accept that this was part of our history.” The city he runs is shaped by the rule of King Zog, who enlisted European architects to design wide roads and open squares, turning a rural settlement into a modern capital.
Tirana now looks like any other European city, but it is pockmarked with scars from the past. The bunkers are still there. Ten minutes’ walk from my hotel stands the House of Leaves, the former surveillance headquarters, now turned into a museum. The city’s most fashionable district, where you can drink espresso and eat sushi in the sunshine, was within my lifetime the “Blloku”—the block reserved for Hoxha and his politburo, where they sealed themselves away from a discontented populace.
For Veliaj, pragmatically accepting Leka’s unofficial role is part of a generational process to make peace with this history. That acceptance would not have been possible under Leka’s father, who associated himself with the political right. “You can throw toxins, or you can be a healer,” says Veliaj of Prince Leka II. “He’s become a de facto ambassador of the new Albania. And I really appreciate that. So, although politically we’re on different sides of the spectrum, he is someone I am proud to call a very good friend.”
No one I met in Albania believed that Leka would ever be king. In the 2021 elections, the right-wing monarchist party, the PLL, won just a single seat. When I asked about succession, Leka told me he would ask Princess Geraldine, when she turned 18, if she wanted to be his heir. “Legally, according to the Albanian royal constitution, it would go directly to the first male,” he said. But the rules can be fudged, not least because Zog’s laws were overhauled by the Italians, and then the Communists, and the constitution has no legal standing. At the time, Leka’s statement seemed like a sweet endorsement of gender equality and personal choice. It was only later that I realized choice is antithetical to monarchy. The whole point is that you get whomever you’re given.
Then again, maybe this kind of contradiction should be embraced. Albania is an experiment in multiethnic, multiparty democracy. A republic with an unofficial monarch, living in a plain house and taking his daughter to the park without armed guards? It sounds absurd. But while dictatorships are simple, democracy is not. And people do have a deep, almost spiritual hunger for leaders who are more than mere bureaucrats or legislators. We want symbols.
Before I left the royal residence, Leka showed me something. Above the double doors in the reception room was a portrait of King Zog. It had been given to his father by a family who had hidden it for half a century in their basement, despite the great personal risk. As Albania’s ruler, Zog had been a tyrant and a modernizer, a viper and a visionary, intent on obtaining and holding power at any cost. His grandson will have to find his own way to be royal—or to be ordinary instead.

Prince Alexander of Belgium ("Alexandre Emmanuel Henri Albert Marie Léopold" (French) or "Alexander Emanuel Hendrik Albert Maria Leopold" (Dutch)) (b. July 18, 1942), born in Laeken near Brussels, is the eldest child from the second marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium and Lilian, Princess of Réthy. He is the younger half-brother of the late King Baudouin I of Belgium, of King Albert II of Belgium, and of the late Grand Duchess of Luxemburg, Joséphine-Charlotte.
Background and youth
Alexander has two younger full sisters: Marie-Christine and Maria-Esmeralda. His godmother was his elder half-sister, the late Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.
Held under house arrest by the Germans until 1944, upon the invasion in Normandy, Léopold, his wife, and his four children were transferred to Germany and Austria where they remained under house arrest first in a fort at Hirschstein a der Elbe in Saxony during the winter of 1944-45, and then at Strobl, near Salzburg. They were freed by the U.S. Army in May 1945. After the war the Royal family was unable to return to Belgium and was forced to spend some years in Swiss exile before finally being able to return to Belgium in 1950 after a national referendum. Alexander attempted studying medicine and after that a career in trade.
Marriage
In Debenham, Suffolk, on March 14, 1991 Alexander married Léa Inga Dora Wolman, who had been twice divorced. The marriage was kept secret until 1998 because the prince apparently feared his mother would disapprove. [cite journal|last = Séguy |first = Philippe| date = 2008-04-29| title = Léa de Belgique: Il faut en finir avec le malheur| journal = Point de Vue| pages = 18-21|language = French] The initial secrecy surrounding this marriage has parallels with his father's wedding to his mother fifty years previously, in 1941. The prince has two step-children, Laetitia Spetscinsky and Renaud Bichara, from Léa's previous marriages.
There has been some friction between the children of the "first" marriage and the "second" marriage in the past. But nowadays Alexander and "Laeken" seem to have made their peace and the Prince and his wife join the rest of the royal Family in public appearances.
Royal status
Although it has been assumed that the children of King Léopold's second marriage were barred from the Belgian throne, some constitutional scholars maintain that there is no legal ground for Alexander's exclusion. [cite web|url= http://www.heraldica.org/topics/royalty/belgian_succ.htm#validity|title= The Belgian Succession|accessdate= 2008-05-06|last= Velde|first= François|work= Heraldica.org] Even if that is the case, Alexander's secret marriage in 1991 d Article 85 of the Belgian constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the sovereign's permission. [cite web|url= http://www.heraldica.org/topics/royalty/belgian_succ.htm#Texts|title= The Belgian Succession|accessdate= 2008-05-06|last= Velde|first= François|work= Heraldica.org]
Nonetheless, in a May 2008 interview with " [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_de_vue_%28hebdomadaire%29 Point de Vue] ", Alexander's wife notes, "...the children of the second marriage of King Leopold -- Prince Alexandre, the Princesses Maria Esmeralda and Marie-Christine -- have been raised in a certain manner: Prince and Princesses of Belgium, accorded the style of "Royal Highness", yet excluded from the succession to the throne." [cite journal|last = Séguy |first = Philippe| date = 2008-04-29| title = Léa de Belgique: Il faut en finir avec le malheur| journal = Point de Vue| pages = 18-21|language = French] She added, "Alexandre received a very solid intellectual education...He waited to assume some official responsiblities. They never came." [cite journal|last = Séguy |first = Philippe| date = 2008-04-29| title = Léa de Belgique: Il faut en finir avec le malheur| journal = Point de Vue| pages = 18-21|language = French]

Albert confirmed that he was her father a few years later in 2006. Now she travels the world thanks to her film roles and philanthropic work with the United Nations and with The Jazmin Fund, her own charity that helps women in remote villages in Fiji.
Grace Grimaldi enjoys a close relationship with her half-siblings and they were recently all pictured together.
2. Prince Albert of Monaco’s son Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste
His mother, Nicole Coste, met the royal on a flight to Nice in 1997 when she worked as cabin crew and the pair enjoyed a five-year romance. Like his half-sister Jazmin, Grimaldi-Coste is not an heir to the throne but does have rights to Albert’s billion-dollar fortune. He also has two half-siblings on his mother’s side.
3. King Albert II of Belgium’s daughter Delphine Boël
Another Albert II had an illegitimate child under different circumstances. The Belgian monarch was married to Paola Ruffo di Calabria, an Italian princess, when he had an affair with Baroness Sybille de Selys Longchamps. Delphine – who now has two teenage children, Princess Josephine and Prince Oscar, with her American husband – was born in 1968.
Her legal battle to be recognised as “legitimate” and claim her title as princess only started in 2013 but eventually, in October 2020, she won after Albert admitted he was her dad. But that was not before the artist made a name for herself on Belgium’s Dancing With the Stars and created controversial artwork with the slogans “Love Child” and “F*** You, I Exist”.
4. Prince Carlos Duke of Parma’s son Prince Carlos Hugo Klynstra
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands’ cousin Prince Carlos, head of the House of Bourbon-Parma, had a son with his childhood friend Brigitte Klynstra but claimed that the pair had agreed the child would not get a title. In 2018, when their son was aged 21, Bridgette and her son won a 19-year battle to claim the title of His Royal Highness Prince Carlos Hugo Roderik Sybren de Bourbon de Parme.
5. Mark Phillips’ daughter Felicity Tonkin
Princess Anne married Captain Mark Phillips in 1973 and the pair had two children – Peter and Zara. However, in 1991 – while the couple were separated but had vowed to stay married – it was revealed that he had fathered a child with New Zealand teacher Heather Tonkin in 1985.
The equestrian publicly denied the love child but it soon emerged that he had been sending them US$8,000 annually for five years and a court-ordered DNA test proved the paternity. He ended up paying a US$475,000 settlement, though Felicity – who reportedly thought her father was dead until she was eight years old – still has little contact with her half-siblings, according to the British tabloids. But she still had a royal stepmother until 1992 when Anne and Phillips divorced. Now Tonkin is married and has a child with polo player Tristan Wade.

Prince Alexandre of Belgium (French Alexandre Emmanuel Henri Albert Marie Lopold, Dutch Alexander Emanuel Hendrik Albert Maria Leopold 18 July 1942 29 November 2009) was the eldest child from the second marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium. His mother was Lilian, Princess of Rthy. The late

Background and youth
Prince Alexandre was born in Laeken in Brussels. He had two younger full sisters: Marie-Christine and Marie-Esméralda. His godmother was his elder half-sister, Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium.
Held under house arrest by the Germans until 1944, upon the invasion in Normandy, Léopold, his second wife, and his four children were transferred to Germany and Austria where they remained under house arrest, first in a fort at Hirschstein in Saxony during the winter of 1944–45, and then at Strobl, near Salzburg. They were freed by the U.S. Army in May 1945. After the war, the Royal Family was unable to return to Belgium and was forced to spend some years in Swiss exile before finally being able to return to Belgium in 1950 after a national referendum. Alexandre studied medicine for a while, later pursuing a career in trade.
Marriage
In Debenham, Suffolk, on 14 March 1991 Alexandre married Léa Inga Dora Wolman, who had been twice-divorced. The marriage was kept secret until 1998 because the Prince apparently feared his mother would disapprove. The initial secrecy surrounding this marriage has parallels with his father's wedding to his mother fifty years previously, in 1941. The prince had two stepchildren, Laetitia Spetschinsky and Renaud Bichara, from Léa's previous marriages.
Royal status
There had been some friction between the children of the first marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium and those of his second marriage. Eventually, however, Alexandre and the dynastic descendants of the first marriage seemed to have made their peace, and the prince and his wife joined the rest of the Royal Family in public appearances. This does not appear to extend to the two younger children of the second marriage, Princess Marie-Christine of Belgium and Princess Marie-Esméralda of Belgium.
Although it has been assumed that the children of King Léopold's second marriage were barred from the Belgian throne, some constitutional scholars maintain that there was no legal ground for Alexandre's exclusion. Even if that is the case, Alexandre's secret marriage in 1991 contravened Article 85 of the Belgian constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the Throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the Sovereign's permission.
Nonetheless, in a May 2008 interview with Point de Vue, Alexandre's wife noted, "...the children of the second marriage of King Leopold -- Prince Alexandre, the Princesses Maria Esmeralda and Marie-Christine -- have been raised in a certain manner: Prince and Princesses of Belgium, accorded the style of Royal Highness, yet excluded from the succession to the throne." She added, "Alexandre received a very solid intellectual education...He waited to assume some official responsibilities. They never came."

Belgian prince (1942–2009)
Prince Alexandre of Belgium (French: Alexandre Emmanuel Henri Albert Marie Léopold, Dutch: Alexander Emanuel Hendrik Albert Maria Leopold; 18 July 1942 – 29 November 2009) was the fourth child of King Leopold III of Belgium, and the eldest for his second wife Lilian, Princess of Réthy. King Baudouin and King Albert II of Belgium were his older half-brothers. Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg was his older half-sister.

Background and youth
[edit]
Prince Alexandre was born in Laeken in Brussels. He had two younger full sisters: Marie-Christine and Marie-Esméralda. His godmother was his elder half-sister, Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium.
Held under house arrest by the Germans until 1944, upon the invasion in Normandy, Léopold, his second wife, and his four children were transferred to Germany and Austria where they remained under house arrest, first in a fort at Hirschstein in Saxony during the winter of 1944–45, and then at Strobl, near Salzburg. They were freed by the U.S. Army in May 1945. After the war, the Royal Family was unable to return to Belgium and was forced to spend some years in Swiss exile before finally being able to return to Belgium in 1950 after a national referendum. Alexandre studied medicine for a while, later pursuing a career in trade. Suffering from serious heart problems, he was successfully operated upon in the USA. This decision raised criticism in Belgium by some who suggested that his surgery should have been performed in his own country.[1][2]
Unverified sources have claimed that, in September 1971, Prince Alexandre was responsible for a car accident that resulted in the death of a Belgian priest named l'abbé Froidure. The priest had survived concentration camps in WW2, organized a charitable organization still present in Brussels (Les Petits Riens/Spullenhulp), knew the royal family including King Baudouin, and died in a crash in front of his home. It has been suggested that the Belgian royal family controlled the official inquiry and avoided any further investigation or consequences.[3][4]
Marriage
[edit]
In Debenham, Suffolk, on 14 March 1991 Alexandre married Léa Wolman, who had been twice-divorced. The marriage was kept secret until 1998 because the Prince apparently feared his mother would disapprove.[5] The initial secrecy surrounding this marriage has parallels with his father's wedding to his mother fifty years previously, in 1941.
Royal status
[edit]
There had been some friction between the children of the first marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium and those of his second marriage. Eventually, however, Alexandre and the dynastic descendants of the first marriage seemed to have made their peace, and the prince and his wife joined the rest of the Royal Family in public appearances. This does not appear to extend to the two younger children of the second marriage, Princess Marie-Christine of Belgium and Princess Marie-Esméralda of Belgium.
Although it has been assumed that the children of King Léopold's second marriage were barred from the Belgian throne, some constitutional scholars maintain that there was no legal ground for Alexandre's exclusion.[6] Even if that is the case, Alexandre's secret marriage in 1991 contravened Article 85 of the Belgian constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the Throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the Sovereign's permission.[7]
Nonetheless, in a May 2008 interview with Point de a little over a year before Alexandre's death, his wife noted, "...the children of the second marriage of King Leopold -- Prince Alexandre, the Princesses Maria Esmeralda and Marie-Christine -- have been raised in a certain manner: Prince and Princesses of Belgium, accorded the style of Royal Highness, yet excluded from the succession to the throne."[5] She added, "Alexandre received a very solid intellectual education...He waited to assume some official responsibilities. They never came."[5]
Death
[edit]
Alexandre died on 29 November 2009 of a pulmonary embolism. His funeral was held on Friday 4 December 2009 at the Church of Our Lady of Laeken. He was buried in the crypt.[8]

Queen Mathilde of Belgium looked elegant in a navy ensemble today as she joined King Philippe and other members of the royal family for a memorial service to commemorate lost loved ones.
Mathilde, 49, looked effortlessly chic in a dark blue dress, with a matching purse, gloves and hat as she was joined by her husband King Phillipe, 61, and his parents King Albert, 87, and Queen Paola, 84.
Also in attendance at the annual mass - held at the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwkerk in Laeken-Laken - was Phillipe's sister Princess Delphine, 53, and her husband Jim O'Hare, as well as his aunt Princess Lea, 70, his sister-in-law Princess Claire.
The annual service commemorates the lives of deceased members of the royal clan, and is usually attended by the most senior members of the Belgian royal family.
Looking effortlessly chic, Mathilde opted for a choker with six layers of strings of pearls.
Keeping her blonde hair coiffed back she showed off a simple pearl earring to complement her necklace.
The royal mother-of-four opted for a natural make-up look, with a light glittering around her eye.
King Albert - who abdicated in 2013 for health reasons - attended the mass with Queen Paola.
The former monarch was spotted with a walking stick while navigating the stairs and and also had a plaster on his head.
Meanwhile, Queen Paola showed there's no age limit on beauty with light make-up look, black coat, and simple pearl earring.
Meanwhile, Princess Lea opted for a brown cape and a black hat with glittering gold earrings.
She tied her blonde hair back and linked arms with Princess Claire who sported black boots, a hat and mask.
Elsewhere, Princess Delphine - the half-sister of King Phillipe - was joined by her Irish-American husband James O'Hare.
Among the people being remembered today was likely the Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, who passed in April 2019, aged 2019.
He was very close to the royal family of Belgium, being the brother-in-law of King Albert.
The memorial comes two weeks after Mathilde and Philippe for were pictured on a visit to Muscat in Oman.
The couple met with the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque on the second day of their official visit to the Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates.
Their official two-day visit to the Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates was arranged to review fields and aspects of common interest for the countries involved.

This morning the royal families of Belgium, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein got together to attend a mass commemorating the 25th anniversary of the death of King Baudouin of the Belgians. Even though many royals were present, some important family members notably absent.
This morning, a special mass was organised to commemorate King Baudouin of the Belgians. The fifth King of Belgium died unexpectedly 25 years ago while on holiday in Spain. Therefore, a mass was held at the Church of Our Lady in Laeken in Brussels. It was Cardinal De Kesel who presided over the ceremony.
In attendance were most of the members of the Belgian Royal Family and members of the Grand Ducal Family of Luxembourg and the Princely Family of Liechtenstein.
Princess Léa of Belgium, the widow of Prince Alexander who was a half-brother of King Baudouin, arrived very early at the church. She said she had “very warm memories” of King Baudouin.
Princess Margaretha and Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein arrived first with their three children Maria-Anunciata, Marie-Astrid and Josef-Emmanuel. Princess Margaretha is the daughter of Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg, the sister of King Baudouin. They were followed by Prince Guillaume and Princess Sibilla of Luxembourg and three of their four children Prince Paul-Louis, Prince Léopold and Princess Charlotte. Prince Guillaume is also a child of Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte and Grand Duke Jean and thus a cousin to King Baudouin.
They were followed by the Belgian Royal Family. King Philippe and Queen Mathilde arrived first and were followed closely by Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and his son, Prince Louis. The children of the King and Queen, Prince Gabriël, Prince Emmanuel and Princess Eléonore followed next. The oldest daughter of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, Princess Elisabeth was absent as she started school in Wales a few weeks ago.
Unexpectedly was the absence of Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. A source close to the palace confirmed to Royal Central’s Europe Correspondent, Laura Dekkers that the decision of the Grand Duchess not to come was made yesterday. They also confirmed that the Grand Duke and his son arrived early this morning in Belgium and will be leaving in the afternoon.
Then, Princess Astrid of Belgium, the sister of King Philippe, arrived with her husband, Prince Lorenz and three of her children and her daughter-in-law. She was followed by King Philippe’s brother, Prince Laurent.
A few minutes past eleven, all the guests had arrived and the service could finally start. Cardinal De Kesel talked about King Baudouin as he said: “He is an example, not only to you sir, you who is his successor and in the exercise of your service, but for all of us. No matter which life, state, or responsibilities we have. Our example to be right-minded people.”
The service lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Following the service, the Royal Family and the other guests gathered at the Royal Crypt where all the former Kings and Queens of the Belgians who have passed away are buried. The King and Queen laid a wreath at the grave of King Baudouin and Queen Fabiola.
After the mass, the members of the royal families took the time to have a chat with the public who had gathered to show their support for the Royal Family.
Europe Correspondent, Laura Dekkers was able to ask a few questions to members of the Belgian Royal Family. She asked Queen Mathilde how her daughter was doing at school in Wales. Her Majesty said: “Good, good. She’s doing well. It’s different without her at home.”
Princess Astrid and her family were very talkative as they left the church and ended up being the last ones to leave. Princess Astrid said about her uncle, King Baudouin: “He was more than a father to me. I loved him very much. He was the father of our entire family. He protected us.”
Our Europe Correspondent Laura Dekkers asked the Princess: “How is your granddaughter doing?” Princess Astrid talked about her two-year-old granddaughter, Anna Astrid: “She’s doing very well. She’s here in Brussels now. She’s around this big and she’s a funny little character. She knows what she wants and says when she doesn’t like it (laughs).”
Also, proud father Prince Amedeo (son of Princess Astrid) and Princess Elisabetta talked about their daughter, Anna Astrid when asked about her. They said: “She’s doing very well. We try to come to Brussels often to see Grandma, and Grandma (Princess Astrid) also travels from time to time to our home in Bazel (Switzerland).”
Princess Astrid’s other children, Princess Maria Laura and Princess Luisa Maria, also talked to the public and posed for photos. Princess Astrid’s husband, Prince Lorenz acted as flower-carrier for his wife.
Prince Laurent was not available for a conversation. He only shook some hands of the public and then headed out as soon as he could. Meanwhile, Grand Duke Henri and Prince Louis were in conversation with the ex-wife of Prince Jean of Luxembourg (Henri’s brother), Hélène.
The two heads of state were also seen talking: Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and his cousin, King Philippe.
Noticeably absent were King Albert and Queen Paola of the Belgians. The brother and sister-in-law of King Baudouin did not give a reason for their absence at the commemorative service. It is believed the couple is still on holiday abroad.

GENEVA—The Bâtiment des Forces Motrices (BFM) has been resonating with the sounds of Chinese classical music. The famous classical Chinese dance and music company Shen Yun Performing Arts was back in Switzerland with its new program.
This year, Shen Yun’s growing success has reached the highest social levels, including the prestigious “crowned heads” of Europe. After Prince Jean d'Orléans in France, it was Princess Léa of Belgium who came to discover the 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.
Léa of Belgium, born Wohlman, is the widow of Alexander of Belgium, brother of the former King Albert II of Belgium and uncle of the current King Philip of Belgium. This elegant woman said she was “impressed by Shen Yun’s artists.”
She was full of praise for the performers after seeing the New York-based company.
“I find it absolutely impressive in terms of beauty, aesthetics, agility, of course, talent and speed!” said Léa of Belgium.
“We are carried away by the rhythm of this show from the beginning,” she said.
This was the first time she had seen classical Chinese dance, and she said she found it impressive and innovative.
Classical Chinese dance, which dates back thousands of years, is one of the most complete dance systems in the world. Indeed, it has been enriched over the successive dynasties in China, developing postures and acrobatic techniques that later inspired some martial arts or circus arts.
But what particularly characterizes classical Chinese classical dance is the yun, or “bearing.” It could be translated as the soul or the expression of the dancer’s inner spirit.
As Shen Yun explains: “Bearing is formed by the combination of something that would look like cultural DNA or an ethnic flavor that the Chinese have in their blood, it is the legacy of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Bearing emphasizes the inner spirit, breath, intention, personal aura and deep emotional expression. The quintessence is that the mind directs the form, so that the form is imbued with the mind.”
Princess Léa was sensitive to this spirituality that so animated the Shen Yun artists.
“We have this impression, indeed, that artists are extremely imbued with what they do, and with spiritual emotion,” she said.
She added that she felt “a lot of positive energy,” and “I hope we will keep it throughout the coming weeks!

Belgium is a constitutional, hereditary and popular monarchy. The monarch is titled King (or Queen) of the Belgians (Dutch: Koning(in) der Belgen, French: Roi/Reine des Belges, German: König(in) der Belgier) and serves as the country's head of state and commander-in-chief of the Belgian Armed Forces. There have been seven Belgian monarchs since independence in 1830.
The incumbent, Philippe, ascended the throne on 21 July 2013, following the abdication of his father Albert II.
Origins
[edit]
Main article: History of Belgium
When Belgium gained independence from the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1830, the National Congress chose a constitutional monarchy as the form of government. The Congress voted on the question on 22 November 1830, supporting monarchy by 174 votes to 13. In February 1831, the Congress nominated Louis, Duke of Nemours, the son of the French king Louis-Philippe, but international considerations deterred Louis-Philippe from accepting the honour for his son.[citation needed]
Following this refusal, the National Congress appointed Erasme-Louis, Baron Surlet de Chokier to be the Regent of Belgium on 25 February 1831. Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, since 1826 also called Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was designated as King of the Belgians by the National Congress and swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution in front of Saint James's Church at Coudenberg Palace in Brussels on 21 July.[1] This day has since become a national holiday for Belgium and its citizens.[2]
Hereditary and constitutional
[edit]
As a hereditary constitutional monarchy system, the role and operation of Belgium's monarchy are governed by the Constitution. The royal office of King is designated solely for a descendant of the first King of the Belgians, Leopold I.
Since he is bound by the Constitution (above all other ideological and religious considerations, political opinions and debates and economic interests) the King is intended to act as an arbiter and guardian of Belgian national unity and independence.[3] Belgium's monarchs are inaugurated in a purely civil swearing-in ceremony.
The Kingdom of Belgium was never an absolute monarchy. Nevertheless, in 1961, the historian Ramon Arango, wrote that the Belgian monarchy is not "truly constitutional".[4][clarification needed]
Leopold I, Leopold II and Albert I
[edit]
King Leopold I was head of Foreign Affairs "as an ancien régime monarch", the foreign ministers having the authority to act only as ministers of the king.[5] Leopold I quickly became one of the most important shareholders of the Société Générale de Belgique.[6]
Leopold's son, King Leopold II, is chiefly remembered for the founding and capitalization of the Congo Free State as a personal fiefdom. There was scandal when the atrocities in the Congo Free State were made public, causing the Free State to be taken over by the Belgian Government. Many Congolese were killed as a result of Leopold's policies in the Congo before the reforms of direct Belgian rule.[7][8][9] The Free State scandal is discussed at the Museum of the Congo at Tervuren in Belgium.[10]
On several occasions Leopold II publicly expressed disagreement with the ruling government (e.g. on 15 August 1887, and in 1905, against Prime Minister Auguste Beernaert)[11] and was accused by Yvon Gouet of noncompliance with the country's parliamentary system.[12]
Leopold II died without surviving legitimate sons. The line now descends from his nephew and successor, Albert I of Belgium, who ruled while 90% of Belgium was overrun by the forces of Kaiser Wilhelm II and is notable for his forays into colonial rule of the Belgian Congo and later, abeyant Wilhelm, the League of Nations mandate in Ruanda-Urundi. In 1934, Albert died under mysterious circumstances as he climbed solo on the Roche du Vieux Bon Dieu at Marche-les-Dames.
Leopold III and Baudouin
[edit]
Louis Wodon (the chef de cabinet of Leopold III from 1934 to 1940), thought the King's oath to the Constitution implied a royal position "over and above the Constitution". He compared the King to a father, the head of a family, "Regarding the moral mission of the king, it is permissible to point to a certain analogy between his role and that of a father, or more generally, of parents in a family. The family is, of course, a legal institution as is the state. But what would a family be where everything was limited among those who compose it to simply legal relationships? In a family when one considers only legal relationships one comes very close to a breakdown in the moral ties founded on reciprocal affection without which a family would be like any other fragile association"[13] According to Arango, Leopold III of Belgium shared these views about the Belgian monarchy.
In 1991, towards the end of the reign of Baudouin, Senator Yves de Wasseige, a former member of the Belgian Constitutional Court, cited four points of democracy which the Belgian Constitution lacks:[14]
the King chooses the ministers,
the King is able to influence the ministers when he speaks with them about bills, projects and nominations,
the King promulgates bills, and,
the King must agree to any change of the Constitution
Constitutional, political, and historical consequences
[edit]
The Belgian monarchy was from the beginning a constitutional monarchy, patterned after that of the United Kingdom.[4] Raymond Fusilier wrote the Belgian regime of 1830 was also inspired by the French Constitution of the Kingdom of France (1791–1792), the United States Declaration of Independence of 1776, and the old political traditions of both Walloon and Flemish provinces.[15] "It should be observed that all monarchies have suffered periods of change as a result of which the power of the sovereign was reduced, but for the most part those periods occurred before the development of the system of constitutional monarchy and were steps leading to its establishment."[4] The characteristic evidence of this is in Great Britain where there was an evolution from the time when kings ruled through the agency of ministers to that time when ministers began to govern through the instrumentality of the Crown.
Unlike the British constitutional system, in Belgium "the monarchy underwent a belated evolution" which came "after the establishment of the constitutional monarchical system"[16] because, in 1830–1831, an independent state, parliamentary system and monarchy were established simultaneously. Hans Daalder, professor of political science at the Rijksuniversiteit Leiden wrote: "Did such simultaneous developments not result in a possible failure to lay down the limits of the royal prerogatives with some precision—which implied that the view of the King as the Keeper of the Nation, with rights and duties of its own, retained legitimacy?"[17]
For Raymond Fusilier, the Belgian monarchy had to be placed—at least in the beginning—between the regimes where the king rules and those in which the king does not rule but only reigns. The Belgian monarchy is closer to the principle "the King does not rule",[18] but the Belgian kings were not only "at the head of the dignified part of the Constitution".[19] The Belgian monarchy is not merely symbolic, because it participates in directing affairs of state insofar as the King's will coincides with that of the ministers, who alone bear responsibility for the policy of government.[20] For Francis Delpérée, to reign does not only mean to preside over ceremonies but also to take a part in the running of the State.[21] The Belgian historian Jean Stengers wrote that "some foreigners believe the monarchy is indispensable to national unity. That is very naive. He is only a piece on the chessboard, but a piece which matters".[22]
List of kings of the Belgians
[edit]
Main article: List of Belgian monarchs
The monarchs of Belgium originally belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The family name was changed by Albert I in 1920, to the House of Belgium[23][24] and the armorial bearings of Saxony from the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha were removed from the Belgian royal coat of arms.[24]
In 2019, the King Phillippe codified the coats of arms of himself and those of his family through a Royal Decree. The personal arms of the reigning monarch was modified to include the Saxonian escutcheon. The arms of other members of the royal family was similarly modified.[25][26] The reinstatement of the shield of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha into the royal arms occurred shortly after the visit of the king and queen to the ancestral Friedenstein Castle. The latest royal decree therefore reverses previous changes made to the Royal versions of the coat arms which removed the armorial bearings of Saxony during the First World War.[27] By including the three official languages in the motto it reflects his wish "to be the King of the whole Kingdom and of all Belgians".;.[28][29] The national Coat of arms of Belgium remains unchanged, i.e. it does not incorporate the Saxon arms.
Since the 2017, Carnet Mondain, the title "Saxe-Cobourg-Gotha", along with "of Belgium" is again in use for all the descendants of Leopold I, with the exception of King Philippe, his wife, his sister and his brother who keep their title "of Belgium"; therefore the descendants of Astrid of Belgium do not bear this title, but that of "of Austria-Este" of their father.[30][31][32]
For completeness, the family tree should include Princess Delphine of Belgium (born 1968). Princess Delphine is the legally acknowledged half-sibling of King Philippe of Belgium, and her children are also recognised as members of the royal family.

Title
[edit]
The proper title of the Belgian monarch is "King of the Belgians" rather than "King of Belgium" as is common for other monarchies throughout Europe. The title is linked to a concept of popular monarchy as defined by Kingsley Martin in his work The Evolution of Popular Monarchy, published in 1936. According to Martin, the term is meant to emphasize the bond and connection to the people of the land over the territory the state controls.[38] His work further implies that such a monarch is de facto appointed by the people as a nominal figurehead rather than being an authoritarian ruler.[38]
Belgium is the only extant European monarchy in which the heir to the throne does not ascend immediately upon the death or abdication of his or her predecessor. According to Article 91 of the Belgian constitution, the heir accedes to the throne only upon taking a constitutional oath before a joint session of the two Houses of Parliament.[39] The joint session has to be held within ten days of the death or abdication of the previous monarch. The new Belgian monarch is required to take the Belgian constitutional oath, "I swear to observe the Constitution and the laws of the Belgian people, to maintain the national independence and the integrity of the territory," which is uttered in the three official languages: French, Dutch, and German.
Members of the Belgian royal family are often known by two names: a Dutch and a French one. For example, the current monarch is called 'Philippe' in French and 'Filip' in Dutch; the fifth King of the Belgians was 'Baudouin' in French and 'Boudewijn' in Dutch.
In contrast to King Philippe's title of "King of the Belgians", Princess Elisabeth is called "Princess of Belgium" as the title "Prince of the Belgians" does not exist. She is also Duchess of Brabant, the traditional title of the heir apparent to the Belgian throne. This title precedes the title "Princess of Belgium".
In the other official language of German, monarchs are usually referred to by their French names. The same is true for English with the exception of Leopold, where the accent is removed for the purpose of simplicity.
Because of the First World War and the resultant strong anti-German sentiment, the family name was changed in 1920, from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to van België, de Belgique, or von Belgien ("of Belgium"), depending upon which of the country's three official languages (Dutch, French, and German) is in use. It is this family name which is used on the identity cards and in all official documents by Belgium's royalty (e.g. marriage licenses). In addition to this change of name, the armorial bearings of Saxony were removed from the Belgian royal coat of arms (see above). Other Coburgers from the multi-branched Saxe-Coburg family have also changed their name, such as George V, who adopted the family name of Windsor after the British royal family's place of residence.[40] Only Simeon Sakskoburggotski kept his Saxony-Coburg family name, but he was ousted from the Bulgarian throne in 1946 at the age of nine.
Nevertheless, the Royal Decree published on 19 July and signed on 12 July 2019 by King Philip, reinstated the Saxonian escutcheon in the all royal versions of the family's coat of arms.[25][41] The reinstatement of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha main royal arms occurred shortly after the visit of King Philip and Queen Mathilde to the ancestral Friedenstein Castle.[citation needed]
Constitutional role
[edit]
The Belgian monarchy symbolises and maintains a feeling of national unity by representing the country in public functions and international meetings.
In addition, the monarch has a number of responsibilities in the process of the formation of the Government. The procedure usually begins with the nomination of the "Informateur" by the monarch. After the general election the Informateur officially informs the monarch of the main political formations which may be available for governance. After this phase, the monarch can appoint another "informateur" or appoint a "Formateur", who will have the charge of forming a new government, of which he or she generally becomes the Prime Minister.
Article 37 of the Constitution of Belgium vests the "federal executive power" in the monarch. Under Section III, this power includes the appointment and dismissal of ministers, the implementation of the laws passed by the Federal Parliament, the submission of bills to the Federal Parliament and the management of international relations. The monarch sanctions and promulgates all laws passed by Parliament. In accordance with Article 106 of the Belgian Constitution, the monarch is required to exercise his powers through the ministers. His acts are not valid without the countersignature of the responsible minister, who in doing so assumes political responsibility for the act in question. This means that federal executive power is exercised in practice by the Federal Government, which is accountable to the Chamber of Representatives in accordance with Article 101 of the Constitution.
The monarch receives the prime minister at the Palace of Brussels at least once a week, and also regularly calls other members of the government to the palace in order to discuss political matters. During these meetings, the monarch has the right to be informed of proposed governmental policies, the right to advise, and the right to warn on any matter as the monarch sees fit. The monarch also holds meetings with the leaders of all the major political parties and regular members of parliament. All of these meetings are organised by the monarch's personal political cabinet which is part of the Royal Household.
The monarch is the Commander-in-Chief of the Belgian Armed Forces and makes appointments to the higher positions. The names of the nominees are sent to the monarch by the Ministry of Defence. The monarch's military duties are carried out with the help of the Military Household which is headed by a General office. Belgians may write to the monarch when they meet difficulties with administrative powers.
The monarch is also one of the three components of the federal legislative power, in accordance with the Belgian Constitution, together with the two chambers of the Federal Parliament: the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate. All laws passed by the Federal Parliament must be signed and promulgated by the monarch.
Previously, children of the King were entitled to a seat in the senate (Senator by right) when they were 18. This right was abolished in 2014 as part of the Sixth Belgian state reform.
Inviolability
[edit]
The Inviolability of Monarchy is a legal principle in Belgium that protects the King or Queen from legal prosecution, civil or criminal, during their reign. This principle is enshrined in Article 88 of the Belgian Constitution.
According to this principle, the King or Queen cannot be held responsible for their actions as monarch, nor can they be subjected to legal proceedings during their reign. This is intended to ensure that the monarch can perform their duties without fear of political interference or retribution.
However, it is important to note that the principle of inviolability does not extend to the actions of the monarch outside of their official duties. If a monarch commits a crime or engages in unlawful activities outside of their role as head of state, they can still be held legally accountable for their actions.[42]
In Belgium, the principle of inviolability is seen as an important safeguard for the constitutional monarchy, which is a key component of the country's political system. It is also seen as a way to ensure that the monarch can act as a unifying figure for the country, representing all Belgians regardless of political affiliation or ideology.
Overall, the principle of inviolability of the monarchy in Belgium is a key feature of the country's political system, designed to protect the monarch and preserve the stability of the constitutional monarchy.
Traditions
[edit]
The Court still keeps some old traditions, most famous is the tradition that the Reigning King of the Belgians becomes the godfather of a seventh son and the Queen the godmother of a seventh daughter.[43] The child is then given the name of the Sovereign and receives a gift from the palace and Burgomaster of the city.[44] Similar traditions are attached to the Russian Tsar and the President of Argentina.[45] Another tradition is the centuries-old ceremonial welcome the new king receives in the country during the Joyous Entry; this tradition apparently dates back to the Dukes of Brabant.
Popular support
[edit]
Popular support for the monarchy had historically been higher in Flanders and lower in Wallonia. The generally pro-monarchy Catholic Party and later Christian Social Party dominated in Flanders, while the more industrialised Wallonia had more support for the Belgian Labour Party and later Socialist Party. For example, the 1950 referendum saw Flanders voting strongly in favour of King Leopold III returning, whereas Wallonia was largely against. However, in recent decades these roles have reversed, as religiosity in Flanders has decreased and the King is seen as protecting the country against (Flemish) separatism and the country's partition.[46]
Royal Household
[edit]
The King's Household (Dutch: Het Huis van de Koning, French: La Maison du Roi, German: Das Haus des Königs) was reorganised in 2006, and consists of seven autonomous departments and the Court's Steering Committee. Each Head of Department is responsible for his department and is accountable to the King.
The following departments currently make up the King's Household:
the Department for Economic, Social and Cultural Affairs
the King's Cabinet
the King's Military Household
the King's Civil List
the Department for Foreign Relations
the Department of the Protocol of the Court
the Department of Petitions
The King's Chief of Cabinet is responsible for dealing with political and administrative matters and for maintaining the relations with the government, trade unions and industrial circles. In relation to the King, the Chief assists in keeping track of current events; informs regarding all aspects of Belgian life; proposes and prepares audiences; assists in preparing speeches and informs the King about developments in international affairs. The Chief of Cabinet is assisted by the Deputy and Legal Adviser, the Press Adviser and the Archivist. The incumbent Chief of Cabinet is Baron Frans Van Daele, former Chief of Cabinet of President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy.
The Head of the King's Military Household assists the King in fulfilling his duties in the field of defence. He informs the King about all matters of security, defence policy, the views of Belgium's main partner countries and all aspects of the Belgian Armed Forces. He organises the King's contacts with the Armed Forces, advises in the fields of scientific research and police and coordinates matters with patriotic associations and former service personnel. The Military Household is also responsible for managing the Palace's computer system. The Head of the Military Household is a General Officer, currently General Jef Van den put and assisted by an adviser, currently Lieutenant-Colonel Aviator Serge Vassart. The King's Aides-de-Camp and the King's Equerries are also attached to the Military Household.
The King's aides-de-camp are senior officers chosen by the monarch and charged with carrying out certain tasks on his behalf, such as representing him at events. The King's Equerries are young officers who take turns preparing the King's activities, informing him about all the aspects that may be important to him and providing any other useful services such as announcing visitors. The equerry accompanies the King on his trips except for those of a strictly private nature.
The Intendant of the King's Civil List is responsible for managing the material, financial and human resources of the King's Household. He is assisted by the Commandant of the Royal Palaces, the Treasurer of the King's Civil List and the Civil List Adviser. The Intendant of the Civil List also advises the King in the field of energy, sciences and culture and administers the King's hunting rights. The Commandant of the Royal Palaces is mainly in charge, in close cooperation with the Chief of Protocol, of the logistic support of activities and the maintenance and cleaning of the Palaces, Castles and Residences. He is also Director of the Royal Hunts.
The Chief of Protocol is charged with organising the public engagements of the King and the Queen, such as audiences, receptions and official banquets at the Palace, as well as formal activities outside of the Palace. He is assisted by the Queen's Secretary, who is mainly responsible for proposing and preparing the Queen's audiences and visits.
The Head of the Department for Economic, Social and Cultural Affairs advises the King in the economic, social and cultural fields. He is also responsible for providing coordination between the various Households and Services and for organising and minuting the meetings of the Steering Committee. The Head of the Department for Foreign Relations informs the King of developments in international policy, assists the King from a diplomatic viewpoint on royal visits abroad and prepares the King's audiences in the international field. He is also responsible for maintaining contacts with foreign diplomatic missions. The Head of the Department of Petitions is charged with processing petitions and requests for social aid addressed the King, the Queen or other members of the royal family. He is also responsible for the analysis and coordination of royal favours and activities relating to jubilees, and advises the King in the fields for which he is responsible.
For the personal protection of the King and the royal family, as well as for the surveillance of the royal estates, the Belgian Federal Police at all times provides a security detail to the Royal Palace, commanded by a chief police commissioner. The other members of the royal family have a service at their disposal.

Members of the Belgian royal family, other than the monarch, hold the title of Prince or Princess of Belgium, with the style of Royal Highness. Prior to the First World War, they used the additional titles of Prince or Princess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke or Duchess of Saxony, as members of the House of Wettin.
The title Prince or Princess of Belgium is a specific noble title within the Belgian nobility reserved for members of the Belgian royal family. Originally the Royal Decree of 14 March 1891, reserved this title for all persons descending in the direct male line from king Leopold I. The royal decree also automatically granted the title to the princesses who joined the Belgian royal family by their marriage to a Prince of Belgium. This royal decree was amended by the Royal Decree of 2 December 1991, which reserved the title for the direct male and female descendants of Albert II and abolished the Salic Law with regards to its granting. The Royal Decree of 12 November 2015, published in the Belgian official journal on 24 November 2015, abolished the aforementioned Royal Decree of 1991, and restricts new grants of this title to the children and grandchildren of the reigning monarch, and to the children and grandchildren of the crownprince(ss). The spouse of a Prince or Princess of Belgium is no longer automatically granted the title but he or she can still be granted the title by royal decree on an individual basis.[47] Prior to this, all descendants of Albert II were entitled to the title of prince or princess.[48]
King Philippe (born 15 April 1960) is King of the Belgians. He married, on 4 December 1999, Jonkvrouwe Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, who was created Princess Mathilde of Belgium a day before their wedding, after which she also took the title Duchess of Brabant as the wife of the Duke of Brabant, and became, from 21 July 2013, Queen Mathilde of the Belgians. She is a daughter of Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz (made a count prior to the wedding) and his wife, Countess Anna Maria Komorowska. They have four children:
Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, who will inherit the throne after her father due to a 1991 act of succession which established absolute (gender-neutral) primogeniture, altering the order of succession from "eldest son" to "eldest child".
Prince Gabriel of Belgium
Prince Emmanuel of Belgium
Princess Eléonore of Belgium

Royal families — what fun would they be without a few black sheep? Prince Laurent plays the part in Belgium’s monarchy. As the youngest child of the former King Albert II, he’s never had much interest or respect for typical royale protocol. Combined with his affinity for environmental causes and animal welfare, it’s led to some in the country calling him the écolo-gaffeu (aka the “eco-blunderer”). He also has a habit of publicly shading other members of his family, and is reportedly barely on speaking terms with the rest of the royals.
For the most part, however, he’s viewed as an eccentric figure. For example, he once lost his license for speeding, and his wife complained that maybe there ought to be “a special license for those driving a fast car,” according to The Guardian. It’s relatively harmless, all things considered. Well, except for his occasional habit of visiting controversial world leaders without informing anyone else. He has tried to go into business with Muammar Gaddafi’s son, once visited Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila, and has committed other rogue acts of diplomacy. In his most recent escapade, he showed up at the Chinese embassy in full naval regalia to 90th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Army.
Well, the Belgian Prime Minister had had enough, and moved to cut the Prince’s royal income (or “dotation” in fancy terms) of $370,000 by 10 to 15 percent. The Prince’s lawyer responded by comparing the fines to human rights violations because he had no right to defend himself. He also claimed that restricting him from meeting controversial foreign leaders would amount to forced “social isolation,” because apparently getting new friends is out of the question (in his defense, Belgians don’t tend to like their royal family as much as other European countries).
Indeed, the Prince’s lawyer, Laurent Arnauts, sent an outraged seven-page letter to the Prime Minister.
“It goes without saying that the court of human rights would make short work of such violations of the right to a fair trial,” he writes, before going on to claim that the penalty also goes “against the most fundamental human rights in a developed society”.
The lawyer also argues that it would be near unthinkable for the Prince to actually have a job of his own.
“In this traditional view, a prince was not allowed to work (it would testify to ‘a desire for money’, a reproach that some people dare to repeat today, which is the world upside down!).”
Apparently, trying to go into business with a Gaddafi son isn’t considered a job. For the record, the Belgian Government made changes to the law about 10 years ago that would encourage members of the royal family not directly in line for the throne to get a real job.
The lawyer argues that the“deprive him and his family of all livelihoods” and that it could affect his “image and, dare I add, his health.” Though, he does offer up a bit of a concession. The Prince would, in the future, offer up 10 days notice about any future meetings with foreign officials.
The kicker to all of this is that the Prince’s visit to the embassy likely would have gone unnoticed in the first place except for the fact that he tweeted a picture of himself at the event. The Prince was also supposed to meet with the Prime Minister over the situation, but instead sent a note explaining that he was sick.
Perhaps we have a solution that could work out for everyone: the Prince should just accept an endorsement deal from a waffle company.

Select Citation Style
Philip, duke of Edinburgh, was the prince consort and husband to Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. To many, Philip became familiar as the man who walked a few steps behind the queen. He accompanied his perhaps more famous son Charles, who became king in 2022, and other members of the royal family in processions and at events, and he made appearances in support of the British royal family and various charities. Outside the sphere of royal watchers, few people knew a great deal about him. Yet, from his royal birth in Greece through his long tenure in Britain, Philip’s life was a storied one, and he was the longest-serving royal consort in British history at the time of his death in 2021. These photographs both point to and summarize some of the important events of his life.
Philip’s Early Years and Military Service
Philip (who was originally known as Philip, prince of Greece and Denmark) was born in Greece in 1921 to Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. Some 18 months into his life, political turmoil caused his uncle (King Constantine I of Greece) to abdicate the Greek throne. King George V of Great Britain (another of his royal uncles) helped Philip and his family to escape to Great Britain. After becoming a British subject, Philip renounced his title to the Greek and Danish thrones and adopted the surname Mountbatten, which was the surname of his maternal grandfather, British Admiral Louis Alexander Mountbatten. Reared chiefly in Great Britain, Philip was educated at Gordonstoun School, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, and at the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, Devon, England.
At age 17 he joined the Royal Navy and served aboard various British warships in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian and Pacific oceans during World War II. Philip remained on active duty until July 1951, and he was promoted to the rank of commander in 1952.
Marriage and Family
After a four-month engagement, Philip married Princess Elizabeth, the eldest daughter of Britain’s King George VI (and thus the heir apparent to the throne), in Westminster Abbey in November 1947. With their marriage, Philip was given the titles duke of Edinburgh, earl of Merioneth, and Baron Greenwich.
Together, Philip and Elizabeth had four children: Charles (born in 1948) and Ann (born in 1950), who are pictured in this photo, and Andrew (born in 1960) and Edward (born in 1964).
Elizabeth’s Ascent to the British Throne
King George VI’s final years were characterized by poor health, and on February 6, 1952, he died from complications related to lung cancer. Elizabeth and Philip were traveling in Kenya as part of a tour of the Commonwealth when they heard the news. According to the rules of succession, Elizabeth ascended the throne immediately upon her father’s passing. However, her formal coronation was not held until June 2, 1953, and was attended by ministers and delegates from the British Commonwealth and the international community as well as by representatives of Britain’s various public interests.
Six-Month Tour of the Commonwealth
Beginning in November 1953, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II made a six-month round-the-world tour of the British Commonwealth, which included the first visit to Australia and New Zealand by a reigning British monarch. The tour, which logged more than 43,500 miles (70,000 km), was designed to introduce the new queen to the countries in the Commonwealth. In this photo Philip waves goodbye as he and Elizabeth, accompanied by John Cecil Clunies-Ross, return to their ship from Home Island, Cocos Islands, in April 1954.
Life After the Coronation of Elizabeth II
During the early years of Elizabeth’s reign, Philip was the subject of slights from various political forces within the government and the British establishment. This was partly a result of the uncertainty surrounding the style of the family name Philip and Elizabeth II were creating. The pair wanted a unique name that would distinguish their direct descendants from the rest of the royal family while also retaining the Windsor name, the name of the royal house. They chose Mountbatten-Windsor for female descendants and for male descendants who held no royal titles. Slights also stemmed from the fact that Philip had not been granted the title of king during Elizabeth’s accession. To remedy this situation, Elizabeth pronounced that Philip took “Place, Pre-eminence, and Precedence next to Her Majesty,” meaning that their son, Prince Charles, would not outrank Philip during her reign and that Philip, not Elizabeth’s sister, Princess Margaret, would serve as regent should Charles ascend the throne before he turned 18 years old. In this photograph, Elizabeth reads a speech from the throne at the state opening of Parliament in 1958, the first year the event was televised. Prince Philip appears seated directly on her left side.
Philanthropy
While much of Philip’s time was spent fulfilling the duties of his station, he also engaged in a variety of philanthropic endeavors. One of his most notable achievements was serving as president of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) from 1981 to 1996. In addition, his international award program called the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (which he founded in 1956 and reached more than 140 countries) helps youth engage in community service, leadership development, and physical fitness activities. Here is Prince Philip as he looked in a portrait taken in 1962.
Public Appearances in Support of the Queen
According to some sources, Prince Philip made an average of 342 public appearances per year from 1952 to 2017. In most of his appearances, he accompanied Queen Elizabeth. However, he made more than 22,000 without her to give speeches to support various facets of the British Commonwealth, including nearly 800 charities that he became affiliated with over the years. In this photo, Prince Philip dances with U.S. First Lady Betty Ford in celebration of the American bicentennial in July 1976. The state visit to the United States took place just months before the occasion of Elizabeth’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, which marked the 25th anniversary of her reign.
Retirement from Public Life
In 2017 Philip announced that he would be retiring from public life. His last solo public engagement took place at Buckingham Palace on August 2, 2017, where he inspected an honor guard of Royal Marines, who were assembled as part of the 1664 Global Challenge, an effort highlighting the fund-raising efforts of the Royal Marines Charity.

Prince Alexandre of Belgium (French Alexandre Emmanuel Henri Albert Marie Lopold, Dutch Alexander Emanuel Hendrik Albert Maria Leopold 18 July 1942 29 November 2009) was the eldest child from the second marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium. His mother was Lilian, Princess of Rthy. The late

Background and youth
Prince Alexandre was born in Laeken in Brussels. He had two younger full sisters: Marie-Christine and Marie-Esméralda. His godmother was his elder half-sister, Princess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium.
Held under house arrest by the Germans until 1944, upon the invasion in Normandy, Léopold, his second wife, and his four children were transferred to Germany and Austria where they remained under house arrest, first in a fort at Hirschstein in Saxony during the winter of 1944–45, and then at Strobl, near Salzburg. They were freed by the U.S. Army in May 1945. After the war, the Royal Family was unable to return to Belgium and was forced to spend some years in Swiss exile before finally being able to return to Belgium in 1950 after a national referendum. Alexandre studied medicine for a while, later pursuing a career in trade.
Marriage
In Debenham, Suffolk, on 14 March 1991 Alexandre married Léa Inga Dora Wolman, who had been twice-divorced. The marriage was kept secret until 1998 because the Prince apparently feared his mother would disapprove. The initial secrecy surrounding this marriage has parallels with his father's wedding to his mother fifty years previously, in 1941. The prince had two stepchildren, Laetitia Spetschinsky and Renaud Bichara, from Léa's previous marriages.
Royal status
There had been some friction between the children of the first marriage of King Leopold III of Belgium and those of his second marriage. Eventually, however, Alexandre and the dynastic descendants of the first marriage seemed to have made their peace, and the prince and his wife joined the rest of the Royal Family in public appearances. This does not appear to extend to the two younger children of the second marriage, Princess Marie-Christine of Belgium and Princess Marie-Esméralda of Belgium.
Although it has been assumed that the children of King Léopold's second marriage were barred from the Belgian throne, some constitutional scholars maintain that there was no legal ground for Alexandre's exclusion. Even if that is the case, Alexandre's secret marriage in 1991 contravened Article 85 of the Belgian constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the Throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the Sovereign's permission.
Nonetheless, in a May 2008 interview with Point de Vue, Alexandre's wife noted, "...the children of the second marriage of King Leopold -- Prince Alexandre, the Princesses Maria Esmeralda and Marie-Christine -- have been raised in a certain manner: Prince and Princesses of Belgium, accorded the style of Royal Highness, yet excluded from the succession to the throne." She added, "Alexandre received a very solid intellectual education...He waited to assume some official responsibilities. They never came."

One of the long running relationships of our family business was with the Nilens firm in Belgium. This family concern manufactured pile driving and other construction equipment. In January 1965 we were expecting a visit from their principal, Willy Nilens. What we got was a call from New York telling us that he, his colleague George van de Velde, their wives and Belgian Prince Alexandre de Rethy were arriving in Palm Beach in a few days. Needless to say, this was an “all hands on deck” kind of situation for us. In addition to a fishing trip and other activities, we organised a proper reception for the Prince–the half brother of then King Baudoin–at the Colony. (The Prince’s own family story is fascinating; a summary is at the end of the post.)
The Prince also came to our home. Knowing what a pair of troublemakers my brother and I (11 and 9 at the time) could be, at the appointed time we were summoned from our rooms, introduced to His Highness, and sent immediately packing for the duration.
The suddenness of this royal visit invites comparison to the most important upcoming royal visit of all–the return of our King, Jesus Christ, to the earth. In the meanwhile, for me the concept of royalty in the subtropics has been something impossible to forget, a combination well documented in The Island Chronicles.
Prince Alexandre (Alexander) de Rethy
In 1935 Queen Astrid of Belgium died during a trip to Switzerland, leaving King Leopold III with three children. Her death devastated her husband. His mourning was complicated by the German invasion and occupation of Belgium in 1940; he remained while the government went to London to set up a government in exile. In the meanwhile Leopold met and fell in love with Lilian Baels, daughter of a prominent Flemish attorney, businessman and governor of West Flanders. They were married in the Catholic church 11 September 1941, but not in civil ceremony until 6 December 1941. Putting the religious ceremony first won Leopold the enmity of the secularists (the same people who banned Muslim headscarves and large crosses from French schools.)
Alexandre was born on 18 July 1942 while his parents were virtual prisoners of the Nazis in their own palace in Brussels. In 1944 the family was forcibly moved to Germany, where it lived until the end of the war.
Leopold’s return to reigning as King was complicated by the controversy that surrounded both his and Princess Lilian (and her family’s) relationship with the Germans during the war. In 1950 a referendum confirmed that the majority of Belgians wanted Leopold to continue as King, but the divisions were both deep and complicated by the linguistic division that always makes things messy in Belgium. Later the same year Leopold abdicated in favour of his son Baudoin.
In 1957 Alexandre underwent heart surgery. That experience caused his parents to become lifelong patrons of cardiac medicine. In 1991 he married Lea Wolman.

Twenty years ago today, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians tied the knot in Brussels. Today, we’ve got a look back at the wedding day — and the wedding jewels!
As is the case for many Europeans, Philippe and Mathilde had both civil and religious wedding ceremonies. Twenty-six-year old Mathilde arrived on the arm of her father, Count Patrick d’Udekem d’Acoz, for the civil ceremony, which took place at ten o’clock in the monring at the Town Hall in Brussels.
Thirty-nine-year old Prince Philippe, who was then the Duke of Brabant, was waiting inside for his bride. He wore the uniform of a colonel in the Belgian Air Force for both weddings, as well as the purple sash of Belgium’s highest chivalric order, the Order of Leopold.
The ceremony was conducted in Flemish, French, and German. When Philippe and Mathilde said their vows, the crowds outside the building cheered so loudly that they could be heard by the amused couple and their guests.
Queen Paola was also highly amused by the audible cheering.
The couple exchanged kisses after the ceremony ended.
All of the guests, including both families, applauded afterward as well. The ceremony concluded with the signing of the marriage registry, both by the couple and their witnesses (Hereditary Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, Archduke Simeon of Austria, Elisabeth d’Udekem d’Acoz, and Stephanie de Radigues de Chenneviere)
The halfway-married couple appeared on the balcony of the town hall to wave to the gathered crowds (and shared a kiss on the cheek).
Next, the couple and the families traveled to the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula for the religious wedding ceremony. Mathilde again arrived with her father, who helped to arrange her veil and gown as she stepped out of the car. Her dress was made for her by Belgian couturier Edouard Vermeulen, who also designed wedding gowns for Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands and Mathilde’s sister-in-law, Princess Claire of Belgium. Her antique lace veil was worn by Queen Paola for her wedding to the future King Albert II in 1959.
Her veil was secured by Queen Elisabeth’s Art Deco Bandeau, a sparkling diamond tiara loaned to Mathilde by her new mother-in-law, Queen Paola. The tiara has been worn by four generations of Belgian queens consort, and it was also used as a wedding tiara by Prince Amedeo’s wife, Elisabetta.
Mathilde’s wedding earrings featured pearl drops suspended from diamond bows.
Those who watched the ceremony on television also got a glimpse of Mathilde’s ruby engagement ring on her left hand. (Philippe placed her wedding band on her right hand, where she still wears it today.)
Mathilde also placed Philippe’s wedding band on his right hand. She said her wedding vows in Flemish, while he said his in French. The religious ceremony, which lasted two hours, took place in front of 1200 guests.
Television viewers were also able to glimpse some of the jewels worn by the numerous royal guests. (You can read the very extensive guest list on Netty’s website!) Queen Paola wore pearl earrings with a pearl necklace and a floral brooch.
Queen Fabiola was regal in a feathered hat and pearls.
Princess Astrid’s sparkling brooch was pinned to her fur wrap. Two of her Belgian aunts wore significant jewels as well: Princess Marie Esmerelda donned a gold chain necklace, while Princess Lea wore sparkling earrings.
Astrid’s daughter, Princess Marie Laura, wore a very ’90s choker necklace.
Like his father and brother, Prince Laurent wore a military uniform with the Order of Leopold.
Several foreign heads of state also attended the wedding, including King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, as well as Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Beatrix wore sapphire earrings and one of the fantastic Dutch sapphire and diamond brooches. Silvia wore pearls and a floral brooch. Also in pearls were Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who wore the Connaught Pearl Bar Brooch, and Queen Sonja of Norway. Sonja’s daughter, Princess Martha Louise, wore delicate pearl jewels.
Grand Duchess Josephine-Charlotte of Luxembourg (an aunt of the groom) wore pearls as well, including Grand Duchess Maria Ana’s Pearl Negligee Pendant. Her daughter-in-law, Hereditary Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, wore pearl earrings. Her daughters also attended the wedding. Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein, chose a pearl choker necklace for the occasion, while Archduchess Marie Astrid wore pearls with a gold brooch.
Queen Sofia of Spain, who attended with her son, Prince Felipe, wore a pearl necklace with a fantastic pendant and a small brooch. Her sister-in-law, Queen Anne-Marie, wore diamonds and rubies.
Monaco and the United Kingdom were represented, respectively, by the heirs to their thrones: Hereditary Prince Albert and Prince Charles.
Several other heirs attended, too. Prince Felipe of Spain sat beside Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Crown Prince Naruhito and Crown Princess Masako of Japan. (She wore gorgeous pearls for the wedding.) On the other side of Felipe is a royal who later became notable for a terrible reason: Prince Dipendra of Nepal. A year and a half after this wedding, he killed his parents, siblings, and other royal relatives (and mortally wounded himself). The massacre led to the abolition of the Nepalese monarchy.
Princess Lalla Hasna of Morocco wore a beautiful pair of gold pendant earrings and a jeweled belt.
The guest list included numerous members of non-reigning families as well. Marina of Savoy wore an ensemble that glittered all on its own. Miriam of Bulgaria wore a pair of lovely pink pendant earrings.
After the religious ceremony ended, Philippe and Mathilde rode through the streets of Brussels in a glass-topped Mercedes-Benz limousine that was decked in flowers. They traveled to the Royal Palace in Brussels, where they made another balcony appearance, attended a luncheon, and took official photographs. A second reception was held in the evening at Laeken.

The ensuing decades brought major changes to the couple’s lives. They became King and Queen of the Belgians in July 2013, following the abdication of his father, King Albert II. They’re also the parents of four children: Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel, and Princess Eleonore.

Twenty years ago, the royal watchers of the world were preparing for the wedding of a future monarch. Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant (and heir to the Belgian throne) proposed to Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz in September 1999, and today, we’re starting our coverage of their milestone anniversary with a look at their engagement announcement — and her engagement ring!

Thirty-nine-year-old Prince Philippe surprised the people of Belgium on Friday, September 10, 1999, by announcing his engagement to a young Belgian aristocrat, Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz. The couple had dated in secret for three years. Mathilde, a 26-year-old speech therapist, was introduced to the nation in a press conference a few days later. Commentators spoke favorably of Mathilde’s ability to speak some Flemish as well as French, hoping that she could become a unifying figure for a divided country. Journalist Toby Helm wrote that the bride-to-be was “destined to be the first Belgian-born queen [of Belgium], a prospect that has come as a pleasant surprise to a country held together by little other than its football team, royal family and love of chips and chocolate.”

The September 13th photo call at Laeken, which the Associated Press called “chaotic,” was attended by numerous members of both families. Royals in attendance included King Albert II, Queen Paola, Queen Fabiola, Princess Astrid, Prince Lorenz, Prince Amedeo, Princess Maria Laura, Prince Joachim, Princess Luisa Maria, and Prince Laurent. Mathilde’s parents, Patrick and Anna Maria, were there with her three surviving siblings: Elisabeth, Helene, and Charles-Henri. During one interview, Philippe shared that he and Mathilde were both “enormously touched” by the good wishes they had received from the public. The royal engagement came on the heels of several major scandals in Belgium, and Philippe also expressed the hope that their “marriage will help to restore the image of Belgium a little.”

A few weeks after the engagement announcement, Philippe and Mathilde began a series of visits to various parts of the country, allowing the people to meet the future queen consort. Press reports hailed Mathilde as a “photogenic” aristocrat who “reinvigorated interest in the royal family and transformed the prince from an awkward recluse with little public support into an acceptable heir to the throne.” The Associated Press noted that the local visits were going swimmingly, with the couple “kissing babies, waving from balconies and smiling to huge, adoring crowds across Belgium.”

But just as the royal family was riding high on public support following the engagement announcement, a major scandal rocked the monarchy. A new biography of Queen Paola was published in October 1999, and it included a very public statement of an old rumor: that King Albert had fathered an illegitimate child. The book named 31-year-old artist Delphine Boel as Philippe’s half-sister. Press reports noted that book’s publication “put a damper on the festivities” ahead of the royal wedding and further divided Flemish and French speakers in the country, with some viewing the book as part of a plot to “undermine the monarchy and the unity of Belgium.”

But the book’s publication didn’t halt the plans for the upcoming wedding or put a damper on public (and media) enthusiasm about Mathilde. The couple celebrated their engagement with a ball in the indoor gardens on the grounds of the Royal Palace in Brussels on November 13, 1999. They were photographed smiling as they danced together for the first time. (King Albert and Queen Paola were also pictured dancing happily together, apparently unbothered by public revelations about the earlier difficulties in their marriage.) A photo of Mathilde from the ball made the cover of Paris Match, with a headline declaring her “Queen of Hearts.” Mathilde’s ruby engagement ring was also front-and-center in images from the party.

Philippe had commissioned the ring from a Belgian jewelry firm, Wolfers. It features a dark red Burmese ruby set in gold and surrounded by a halo of diamonds. Additional diamonds decorate the side of the band, giving the ring a vintage feel.

Mathilde has continued to wear the engagement ring on her left hand throughout her marriage. Above, she wears it in Paris in October 2012.

And here, you’ll spot the ring on her hand during the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands in Amsterdam in April 2013. You’ll note that Mathilde doesn’t stack her engagement ring and wedding band; instead, like many Belgians, she wears her wedding band on her right hand.

Today, you’ll often see the engagement ring replaced by a different jewel. For their tenth wedding anniversary in 2009, Philippe commissioned a second gorgeous ring for Mathilde to wear.

Wolfers also made this spectacular diamond and sapphire ring for Mathilde. She often swaps out her engagement ring for the sapphire ring at public events. Perhaps we’ll see a third ring added to her collection this year to mark their twentieth anniversary?
Stay tuned — we’ll continue our anniversary celebrations with more jewels from Mathilde and Philippe’s grand royal wedding on the site tomorrow!

Princess Lea of Belgium (born Lea Inga Dora Wolman on 2 December 1951) is the widow of Prince Alexander of Belgium.
Early Life and Family
Princess Lea was born on 2 December 1951, the daughter of Sigismund Wolman and Lisa Bornstein.
Marriages and Issue
She married Serge Victorovich Spetschinsky in 1975 (son of Victor Sergeyevich Spetschinsky, President of the Russian Nobility Association in Belgium), from whom she was divorced in 1980. They had a daughter, Laetitia Spetschinsky (born in 1976), who is now married to Didier Nagant de Deuxchaisnes and mother of two sons (Charles-Albert b.2009) and Alexandre (b.2013) and a daughter (b.2010)
In 1982 Lea married Robert Bichara, and they had a son, Renaud Bichara, on 1 September 1983.
After her second divorce she wed Prince Alexander, in Debenham, Suffolk, on 14 March 1991. They had been introduced in 1986 by former defense minister Leon Mundeleer. Alexander asked her to accompany him to the cinema. She vacillated initially, but they began to enjoy dining out together, Alexander being a gourmet, according to his future wife.
The couple had no children together, and the marriage was kept secret until 1998, as reportedly the prince feared his mother would disapprove.
Alexander's marriage contravened Article 85 of the Belgium constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the sovereign's permission.
In 2008 published a book of photographs from the life of her husband and his family, titled Le Prince Alexandre de Belgique, because she felt that he was too little-known in Belgium.
Title
2 December Her Royal Highness Princess Lea of Belgium

Five-year-old Prince George is the oldest child and firstborn son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II. The tot is currently third in line for the throne following his grandfather, Prince Charles, and his father, Prince William.
Four-year-old Princess Charlotte is fourth in line for the British throne, following her big brother, Prince George. The Succession Crown Act 2013 was a major game changer for Princess Charlotte's ranking in line for the British crown. While men previously outranked women in line to the throne, the new Act meant that birth order superseded gender. So even though Charlotte's younger brother Prince Louis is a boy, she still holds her ranking.
Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, is the eldest child of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. The 17-year-old is the immediate heir to the throne, and impressively opened the Princess Elisabeth Children's Hospital in 2011.
According to the palace, she loves playing sports, has been playing piano for a few years and enjoys volunteer work. She currently goes to school in Brussels.
Prince Gabriel is the second child of the King and Queen of Belgium, and the second in line for the throne, following his older sister. Like Princess Elisabeth, the 15-year-old also goes to school in Brussels and enjoys a variety of sports, from football to sailing.
Bhutan's crown prince is the first child of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema (the world's youngest living queen, at 27 years old).
Here, the one-year-old Dragon Prince is photographed with his father and Indian foreign minister Sushma Swaraj. He also melts hearts monthly in adorable calendar photos.
Thirteen-year-old Christian Valdemar Henri John, Prince of Denmark, Count of Monpezat is the first son of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary and grandson of Queen Margrethe II, the reigning monarch, and Prince Henrik. He also holds the title of Count of Monpezat and is second in line for the throne, following his father.
Princess Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe, 12, is the second child of the crown prince and princess. Thanks to a recent amendment in the Danish law of royal succession—which changed inheritance from male-preferred primogeniture to absolute primogeniture—she's next in line for the throne, following her older brother, Prince Christian.
Prince Nikolai William Alexander Frederik, 19, is the oldest son of Prince Joachim (Crown Prince Frederik's younger brother) and Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg. Like Prince Frederik's children, he and his siblings are also grandchildren to Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik. He also holds title of Count of Monpezat.
Although his parents divorced in 2004, Prince Nikolai is still in line for the throne, in seventh place, after his dad.
Prince Henrik Carl Joachim Alain, Count of Monpezat, is Prince Joachim and Princess Mary's first child together. (They wed in 2008, four years after he divorced Countess Alexandra.) The ten-year-old is ninth in line for the throne, after his half-brother Prince Felix.
Seven-year-old Princess Athena Françoise Marie, Countess of Monpezat is the youngest of Queen Margrethe II and Prince Henrik's grandchildren. She's also the younger of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie's two children together. She follows her brother Prince Henrik as the 10th in line for the throne.
The grandson of Japan's Emperor Akihito is third in line for the Imperial Throne. His parents are Prince Akishino, the Emperor's younger son, and Princess Kiko. The royal tween will turn 13 this September.
Prince Hisahito's older sister Princess Mako, 27, famously announced this year that she's giving up her royal status to marry her commoner fiancé, Kei Komuro.
Princess Salma, 17, is the third child and first daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah. She has three siblings: Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, 25, Princess Princess Iman, 23, and Prince Hashem, 14.
The royal teen is not an heir to the throne because the Jordanian constitution states that the royal title is passed from the king to his eldest son.
Fourteen-year-old Prince Hashem is the fourth and youngest child of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Al Abdullah.
Since his older brother, Crown Prince Al Hussein, currently has no male heirs, according to the Jordanian constitution, Prince Hashem is technically next in line for the throne, but that will change if Al Hussein bears a son.

Baudouin’s Early Life
Embed from Getty Images
King Baudouin (Baudouin Albert Charles Léopold Axel Marie Gustave) was born September 7, 1930, at Stuyvenberg Castle, the eldest child of the future King Leopold III and Princess Astrid of Sweden. At just four years old, he became heir to the throne when his father became King upon his grandfather’s death. The following year, his mother, Queen Astrid, died. For several years during World War II, the family was held under house arrest in Belgium and later moved to Germany and then Austria before being freed by American forces in 1945. The family settled in Switzerland, unable to return to Belgium because of the very tense political climate, due primarily to the King’s actions during the war. While in Switzerland, Baudouin attended the Institut Le Rosey, before the family returned to Belgium in July 1950. However, the questions about the King’s actions remained, and the following month, King Leopold created Baudouin Prince Royal and transferred much of his authority to him. Eventually, in July 1951, Leopold abdicated and Baudouin became King of the Belgians.
The new king became very popular with the Belgian people and was seen as a unifying force in helping Belgium to recover from the ravages of the war. He went on to reign for 42 years, until his sudden death in 1993.
For more information about Baudouin see:
Unofficial Royalty: King Baudouin of Belgium
Fabiola’s Early Life
Doña Fabiola Fernanda Maria de las Victorias Antonia Adelaïda de Mora y Aragón was born in Madrid on June 11, 1928. She was the sixth of seven children of Gonzalo de Mora y Fernández y Riera y del Olmo, 4th Marquess of Casa Riera and 2nd Count of Mora, and his wife, Blanca de Aragón y Carrillo de Albornoz y Barroeta-Aldamar y Elío. The family was prominent in the Spanish aristocracy, and she included Queen Victoria Eugenia of Spain as one of her godparents.
An exceptional student, Fabiola became fluent in several languages, and trained as a nurse, working in a hospital in Madrid. A very religious woman, she was also very active in many social and charitable causes and organizations in Spain. Several years before her marriage, she published a book of fairy tales – Los Doce Cuentos Maravillosos (The Twelve Marvelous Tales). Later, one of these tales would become the inspiration for an exhibit at an amusement park in the Netherlands. Read more about that here.

Unofficial Royalty: Queen Fabiola of Belgium
The Engagement
The engagement was announced on September 16, 1960, by Prime Minister Gaston Eyskens. The news was quite a surprise in Belgium, as there had been no public indication that Baudouin was involved with anyone. The couple had first met through mutual friends and had continued to see each other very privately. They had become engaged many weeks earlier, but the announcement had been delayed because of the recent events in the Belgian Congo. Following the announcement, Baudouin and Fabiola, along with their families, met with the press on the grounds of Ciergnon Castle.
Over the next several weeks, the couple visited each of the Belgian provinces allowing the King to introduce the Belgian people to their future Queen. At each visit, they were greeted by large crowds of well-wishers.
Pre-Wedding Festivities
In the days leading up to the wedding, there were several official functions held in Brussels. On Saturday, December 10, there was an official reception for 4,200 people followed by a buffet dinner. Guests were mostly members of the diplomatic corps and the Belgian government, along with representatives from many cultural and social organizations.
The following day, On December 11, there was a formal welcome ceremony for the Spanish delegation coming to the wedding. It was here that the Marquis and Marchioness of Villaverde (she was the daughter of General Franco) presented Fabiola with a tiara as a gift from the Spanish people. You can read more about that tiara here.
On the 13th, the King hosted a gala dinner for 350 people, followed by a ball for 2,000 people, with both being held in the Throne Room at the Royal Palace of Brussels. At the banquet, the King spoke of his love for Fabiola, and his certainty that she would be a “precious help” for him as King. Fabiola wore a pale yellow gown designed by Marbel, along with her new Spanish tiara. The King wore his uniform of Lieutenant General, with the sash and star of the Order of Leopold, and the collar of the Spanish Order of Isabella the Catholic.
On December 14, the couple attended several events during the day, including a visit to the Royal Theatre of Brussels, where students from Madrid performed for them. That evening, the final pre-wedding event was a State Banquet, hosted by the Belgian government in the Hall of Tapestries at the Royal Museum of Art and History. The banquet was attended by all the heads of state and royal guests, as well as members of the government and clergy. Fabiola wore another gown by Marbel, again with her Spanish tiara, while Baudouin was in a dress coat with the sash and star of the Order of Leopold.

Her tulle veil was held in place by the Nine Provinces Tiara. The tiara had been a gift from the Belgian people to Baudouin’s mother when she and Leopold married in 1926. It is traditionally only worn (in its full form) by Belgian queens. Read more here.
Baudouin was decked out in his uniform of Lieutenant-General of the Armies, with the sash and star of the Belgian Order of Leopold I. He also wore the collar of the Spanish Order of Isabella the Catholic.
The Civil Ceremony
The civil ceremony was held in the Throne Room of the Royal Palace of Brussels and was attended by all the royal guests, family, and members of the government and diplomatic corps. With the guests seated, the bride and groom made their entrance and were seated at two chairs in the center of the room, in front of a majestic gilded marble table. The Minister of Justice read a short message affirming the Government’s unanimous approval of the marriage, followed by the Mayor of Brussels, who read the articles of the Belgian Civil Code relating to marriages. This was followed by a reading of the Marriage Acts by a member of the Municipal Council. The couple then took their civil vows, followed by a speech from the Mayor. Once this was finished, the civil registers were signed. For their witnesses, Baudouin chose his father, King Leopold III, and his brother-in-law, Hereditary Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg. Fabiola chose her brother Gonzalo, Marquis of Casa Riera, and the head of the Spanish royal family, The Count of Barcelona. In addition, in a show of respect for the King, an additional forty members of the government, parliament and other dignitaries also signed the register.
Following the ceremony, the couple left the Throne Room, followed by their families and guests, to begin the procession to the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula in Brussels, Belgium for the religious ceremony.
The Religious Ceremony
With most of the guests already seated in the Cathedral of Saint Michael and Saint Gudula including the royal guests, the King and his new Queen left the Palace in a glass-topped car, leading the procession of their immediate families. The families processed into the cathedral, followed by Baudouin and Fabiola, who took seats just in front of the altar.
The service was conducted by Cardinal van Roey, the Primate of Belgium, assisted by a representative of the Holy See who read a personal message from The Pope. The couple then exchanged their vows and rings, followed by a traditional mass conducted by the auxiliary bishop.
Following the mass, the church registers were signed. This time, Baudouin chose his two brothers, Prince Albert and Prince Alexandre as witnesses, while Fabiola chose her two brothers, Gonzalo and Alejandro. After the final blessing, the couple processed out of the cathedral, greeting the crowds before returning by car to the Royal Palace.
The Wedding Banquet and Honeymoon
A wedding banquet for 2,000 guests was held in the Throne Room following the wedding. While the guests were arriving and final preparations were being made, Baudouin and Fabiola made an appearance on the palace balcony, greeting the thousands of well-wishers who had gathered to cheer their King and his new Queen. Later, in a pre-recorded statement broadcast on both radio and tv, the couple thanked the Belgian people for their outpouring of love and support and again expressed their love to each other.
After all the festivities, Baudouin and Fabiola set off to Spain for their honeymoon, staying in Hornachuelos, a city in the province of Córdoba. However, just two weeks later they were forced to cut their trip short and return home due to increasing strikes and violence in Belgium against a recently imposed Government-led austerity program.

Queen Mathilde of Belgium looked elegant in a navy ensemble today as she joined King Philippe and other members of the royal family for a memorial service to commemorate lost loved ones.
Mathilde, 49, looked effortlessly chic in a dark blue dress, with a matching purse, gloves and hat as she was joined by her husband King Phillipe, 61, and his parents King Albert, 87, and Queen Paola, 84.
Also in attendance at the annual mass - held at the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwkerk in Laeken-Laken - was Phillipe's sister Princess Delphine, 53, and her husband Jim O'Hare, as well as his aunt Princess Lea, 70, his sister-in-law Princess Claire.
The annual service commemorates the lives of deceased members of the royal clan, and is usually attended by the most senior members of the Belgian royal family.
Looking effortlessly chic, Mathilde opted for a choker with six layers of strings of pearls.
Keeping her blonde hair coiffed back she showed off a simple pearl earring to complement her necklace.
The royal mother-of-four opted for a natural make-up look, with a light glittering around her eye.
King Albert - who abdicated in 2013 for health reasons - attended the mass with Queen Paola.
The former monarch was spotted with a walking stick while navigating the stairs and and also had a plaster on his head.
Meanwhile, Queen Paola showed there's no age limit on beauty with light make-up look, black coat, and simple pearl earring.
Meanwhile, Princess Lea opted for a brown cape and a black hat with glittering gold earrings.
She tied her blonde hair back and linked arms with Princess Claire who sported black boots, a hat and mask.
Elsewhere, Princess Delphine - the half-sister of King Phillipe - was joined by her Irish-American husband James O'Hare.
Among the people being remembered today was likely the Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, who passed in April 2019, aged 2019.
He was very close to the royal family of Belgium, being the brother-in-law of King Albert.
The memorial comes two weeks after Mathilde and Philippe for were pictured on a visit to Muscat in Oman.
The couple met with the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque on the second day of their official visit to the Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates.
Their official two-day visit to the Sultanate of Oman and United Arab Emirates was arranged to review fields and aspects of common interest for the countries involved.

The Belgian royal family gathered in Brussels on Tuesday for an annual service remembering their late loved ones, with some lovely jewels worn for the occasion.
King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians led the royal party at the annual mass, which was held on Tuesday at Our Lady of Laeken in Brussels. The mass is timed to coincide closely each year with the anniversary of the death of King Albert I, who died in a mountaineering accident on February 17, 1934. The King and Queen were joined by his parents, King Albert II and Queen Paola, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, Prince Laurent and Princess Claire. Philippe’s half-sister, Princess Delphine, attended with her husband, Jim O’Hare.
There were several extended members of the family in attendance, too, including Princess Léa (widow of King Albert’s late half-brother, Prince Alexandre of Belgium); Archduke Carl Christian and Archduchess Marie-Astrid (son-in-law and daughter of King Albert’s late sister, Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Luxembourg); and Prince Nikolaus of Liechtenstein (husband of Princess Margaretha, the younger daughter of the late Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte).
The brooch, which looks to me to be an Art Deco piece, features a pair of lovebird parrots on a perch. The piece is set with diamonds, with small sapphire, ruby, emerald, and citrine accents on the birds themselves. The jewel has been in Mathilde’s collection since at least 2017, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it were yet another of her antique auction acquisitions.

Mary Lilian Baels was born on 28 November 1916 as the daughter of Henri Baels and his wife, Anne Marie de Visscher. She was born in London, where the family was living at the time after fleeing the First World War. The family originally lived in Ostend in Belgium. She was their sixth child, and two more would follow. When the family returned to Belgium after the war, her father became Minister of Agriculture, Minister of the Interior, and, finally, Minister of Public Works and Public Health. He became Governor of West Flanders in 1933.
Lilian went by the name Lily at home. She attended school in Ostend and was later sent to a boarding school in Brussels. At the age of 18, she attended a finishing school in London. She was also reportedly engaged to a Hungarian count, but nothing ever came of it.
We do not know exactly how and when Lilian met the widowed King Leopold III of Belgium. They probably met several times briefly before the Second World War due to her father’s work. At the start of the Second World War, Lilian’s father went in search of the Minister of the Interior, who he believed to be in France. On the way there, he had a car accident and was admitted to a hospital in Le Havre. His wife decided to bring the children to France, realising that the situation in Belgium was heading for disaster. Her father was then accused of abandoning his post as Governor. He succeeded in obtaining an audience with the King, who was by then a prisoner following the capitulation of the Belgian army on 28 May 1940. It was Lilian who drove him to the audience, where he managed to explain himself.
Lilian was invited to Laeken Castle by the King’s mother Elisabeth (born of Bavaria) in 1941 to “divert” the King from his previous mistress, the Austrian Liselotte Landbeck who had just given birth to their daughter. Elisabeth demanded that he break off their relationship. After several meetings with Lilian, it was clear that the couple was in love. The couple planned to hold an official civil marriage after the war and have a secret religious marriage ceremony on 11 September 1941 at Laeken. This was actually against the law, which stated that any religious ceremony must be preceded by a civil ceremony. Not much later, Lilian was pregnant with their first child, and the couple had a civil wedding on 6 December 1941. Adolf Hitler himself sent flowers. Lilian was created Her Royal Highness The Princess of Réthy. Any children would be excluded from the line of succession.
When the marriage became public, the public’s response was mixed. The country was at war, and many believed that the marriage was incompatible with the King’s status as a prisoner of war. Lilian was branded a social climber, and the couple was blamed for violating the law by holding a religious ceremony before a civil one. These criticisms would haunt them even after the war.
Despite the fact that they were under guard, Lilian and Leopold were very happy during the war years. They lacked nothing, and on 18 July 1942, their first child Prince Alexandre of Belgium was born. After the landings at Normandy in June 1944, Adolf Hitler ordered the deportation of Leopold to Germany. He protested, but he, Lilian and the four children (three with his first wife, Astrid of Sweden) were all deported. Only Elisabeth was allowed to remain in Laeken. On 11 June 1944, the family arrived in Hirschstein near Dresden, where they were guarded by the SS. The family was in the comfort of a castle, with three courtiers and nine servants. On 7 March 1945, the family was once again moved. This time the final destination was Strobl in Austria, not far from Adolf Hitler’s residence. There they were liberated by the Americans on 7 May.
If Leopold expected a hero’s return to Belgium, it never came. The Belgian government demanded that he once again swears allegiance to the constitution and must praise the allied troops, the resistance and the government. Leopold was furious and refused to return to Belgium, claiming to be weakened by years of imprisonment. Meanwhile, his brother Prince Charles acted as regent of Belgium. Lilian, too, refused to compromise with the government.
Leopold was soon toying with the idea of abdicating the throne in favour of his son, but Lilian persuaded him not to do it. The family moved to Switzerland, where they lived in Villa Le Reposoir with five servants until 1950. Leopold and Lilian travelled a lot during this time. This decadent lifestyle led to protests from war-torn Belgium. Lilian was an excellent scapegoat, and everything she did was picked apart by the media. Finally, a referendum was held on 12 March 1950. The conclusion: 57,68% of Belgians wanted to keep their monarchy, but the country was very much divided. After heavy riots, where four people lost their lives, Leopold finally abdicated on 17 July 1951. His son, just 20 years old, was now King Baudouin of the Belgians.
The two Kings remained living together at the Castle of Laeken, where two further children were born to Leopold and Lilian. Lilian remained the Queen of the household until Baudouin married in 1960 when Leopold and Lilian moved to Argenteuil. The family slowly began to drift apart. After Leopold’s first heart attack in 1975, his sons occasionally visit him, but the silence remained otherwise. The press continued to report on their lifestyle.
Leopold died on 25 September 1983, and almost immediately, a rather public fight concerning the inheritance broke out. It would not be settled for another five years. The relationship between Lilian and her three children also deteriorated. Her son Alexander married Léa Wolman in secret, and she did not find out for another seven years. Her eldest daughter Marie-Christine ended all contact with her mother and wrote a book about her in 2004. Only her youngest daughter remained in contact. Lilian devoted her life to the memory of her husband and published his memoirs in 2001.
Lilian died on 7 June 2002, and she was buried in the Royal Crypt at Laeken with her husband and his first wife.

Princess Lea of Belgium (born Lea Inga Dora Wolman on 2 December 1951) is the widow of Prince Alexander of Belgium.
Early Life and Family
Princess Lea was born on 2 December 1951, the daughter of Sigismund Wolman and Lisa Bornstein.
Marriages and Issue
She married Serge Victorovich Spetschinsky in 1975 (son of Victor Sergeyevich Spetschinsky, President of the Russian Nobility Association in Belgium), from whom she was divorced in 1980. They had a daughter, Laetitia Spetschinsky (born in 1976), who is now married to Didier Nagant de Deuxchaisnes and mother of two sons (Charles-Albert b.2009) and Alexandre (b.2013) and a daughter (b.2010)
In 1982 Lea married Robert Bichara, and they had a son, Renaud Bichara, on 1 September 1983.
After her second divorce she wed Prince Alexander, in Debenham, Suffolk, on 14 March 1991. They had been introduced in 1986 by former defense minister Leon Mundeleer. Alexander asked her to accompany him to the cinema. She vacillated initially, but they began to enjoy dining out together, Alexander being a gourmet, according to his future wife.
The couple had no children together, and the marriage was kept secret until 1998, as reportedly the prince feared his mother would disapprove.
Alexander's marriage contravened Article 85 of the Belgium constitution, which deprived of the right of succession to the throne any descendant of King Leopold I who marries without the sovereign's permission.
In 2008 published a book of photographs from the life of her husband and his family, titled Le Prince Alexandre de Belgique, because she felt that he was too little-known in Belgium.
Title
2 December Her Royal Highness Princess Lea of Belgium
