WesternStars: Allan "Rocky" Lane
Bandits of the West (USA 1953) |
Allan „Rocky“ Lane (eigentlich Harry Leonard Albertshart; * 22. September 1909 in Mishawaka, Indiana; † 27. Oktober 1973 in Woodland Hills, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler.
LebenNach seiner Schulzeit schloss er sich einer Schauspieltruppe aus Cincinnati an, die auch
in New York auftrat – zu dieser Zeit legte er sich seinen Künstlernamen
zu – und spielte zwischen 1929 und 1932 auch in mehr als 20 Filmen.
Erst 1936 kehrte er auf die Leinwand zurück und begann seine Karriere
als Westerndarsteller, wobei er im ersten Werk dieses Genres erst zwei
Jahre später auftrat. Ab 1940 spielte er für die Republic Pictures in erfolgreichen Serials. King of the Royal Mounted, Daredevils of the West und The Tiger Woman an der Seite von Linda Stirling. Anschließend folgten sechs Filme einer Reihe, in denen er keinen festgeschriebenen Charakter spielte; 1946 wurde er zum neuen Red Ryder
des Studios, den er in sieben Filmen verkörperte. Danach folgte seine
bekannteste Reihe, die nach ihm benannten Rocky Lane-Filme, von denen
bis 1953 neununddreißig erschienen. Neben ihm spielte seit dem Beginn
der Serie 1947 Eddy Waller als Sidekick „Nugget Clark“ in den zunehmend billiger produzierten Folgen.
Lane setzte seine Karriere in Fernsehserien als Gaststar fort und
spielte in kleineren Rollen auf der Leinwand. 1961 beendete er seine
Karriere vor der Kamera; seine Stimme war noch bis 1966 zu hören, die er
in der Serie Mr. Ed
der Titelfigur, einem sprechenden Pferd, in allen sechs Staffeln lieh.
Lanes Name (und Bilder von ihm) wurden auch für eine erfolgreiche Comic-Reihe verwendet. (wikipedia (deutsch) verändert)

In "Ulzana", einem der Western der DeFa (die da Indianerfilme hießen), badet der Häuptling, gespielt von Gojko Mitic, gleich in der ersten Szene mit seiner Frau nackt in einem versteckten Gebirgssee, während sich weiße Spione anschleichen. Die Botschaft klar. Die Indianer führen ein friedliches, naturverbundenes Leben, das von den Weißen gestört wird. Ein erster Hinweis auf den Konflikt, der sich im Film immer weiter zuspitzt.
