The Ringo Kid, an antihero


It's interesting that people often think that the "antihero" originated in the mid-late 60s, but we see the whole "good badman" concept clear as day in 1939's "Stagecoach." Or consider Brando's Rio in "One-Eyed Jacks" from 1961.

In other words, the antihero has been around a long time.

Harry Carey (Sr not Jr) worked for John Ford in silent movies playing "good badmen", before they had a falling out.
