Yea, I know, I have this thing for western double features. 'And Matinees, too' (My best Jimmy Stewart impersonation). And yes! It's another Scott and Stewart pairing! These two movie recommendations are about three hours of western viewing pleasure...
"This is the most unfriendly country I've ever been in", Lockhart.
That would be Mr. Stewart's character in the longer film selection, The Man from Laramie (1955). Why did he really come to the town of Coronado? This is the 5th western collaboration between Stewart and director Anthony Mann (1). All are worth watching.
The shorter selection goes by two titles, just for the confusion. It was billed as 7 Men form now (1956) (Check the poster). Or, it can be found as Seven Men from Now. Anyway, it stars Randolf Scott (1)(2) as an ex-sheriff seeking some retribution. But, finding something else as well...
