B Western Badmen
One of the strange phenomena that occur at film festivals is that of spontaneous applause. Not necessarily when the hero kisses the girl (or horse), or even when the evil plan is thwarted either. But rather, when their favourite villain does battle with the film hero. When Charles King, Roy Barcroft, Harry Wood, appear on film, cheers errupt. Why? Because, as loved as the hero is, you can count on the fact that the villain and his henchmen are also loved. The other is that the worse the character on film, the more likeable and generally down to earth the star is.
