<br>by Derek Hill</font>
<p>In the Spring of 1965, when a struggling young director named Monte Hellman, a rag-tag group of actors, and a small production crew ventured into the Utah desert to film a pair of low-budget westerns, <i>Ride in the Whirlwind</i> and <i>The Shooting</i>, no one expected that the results would turn out so marvelously. Both films would be shot simultaneously and both would be financially backed by B-movie mogul Roger Corman, with whom Hellman had previously worked as director (<i>The Beast from Haunted Cave</i> in 1959, <i>Flight to Fury </i>and <i>Backdoor to Hell</i> both from 1964) and as editor (for numerous Corman productions). <i>The Shooting</i> would be lensed first, with an 18-day shooting schedule. After that, there would be a week of prep-time for <i>Ride in the Whirlwind</i>, then another 18 days to get it in the can.
