Maybe we'll watch it when she's a little older - in the spring or summer of next year.

I wasn't crazy about Dean Martin so I might not have seen it first time around.

In my view, anyway. STAGECOACH - the first one especially. I hope you have a chance to see it. Also ANGEL AND THE BADMAN with poor Gail Russell and there were, really, a couple of others. HATARI is a lot of fun - a film not to be taken seriously but there's just something about it that lingers in that part of us which is still a kid.

I liked RIO BRAVO and Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson more than Wayne.Prashant C.

What I perceived as wooden acting, I can now see as a style.

Big John was a bit old for Elsa, etc. The other goings-on were predictable. The highlights were the chase scenes (well,it is Howard Hawks)Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.com
