ATLANTA, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is heading West this December with a special tribute to Western director Budd Boetticher and his frequent star, Randolph Scott. The team behind the acclaimed 2000 documentary Clint Eastwood: Out of the Shadows, have created BUDD BOETTICHER "A MAN CAN DO THAT," a one-hour look at this director who is often lost in the shadow of notables as John Ford and Howard Hawks.
