A terrific western.<br /><br />Though I admit when I tried to watch it again recently, I wasn't as enamored. I think BITE THE BULLET holds up much better.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-37465981896123917992011-11-30T12:39:22.225-05:002011-11-30T12:39:22.225-05:00You're welcome, Prashant.

I'll stick with the oldies.<br /><br />Hackman and Coburn have never been better, in my view. They are wonderful in this one.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-72278661820458198462011-11-30T04:47:31.701-05:002011-11-30T04:47:31.701-05:00I literally haven't seen this one in 25 years ...I literally haven't seen this one in 25 years but still remember liking it a lot (though you and your bikinis have definitely given it a new slant ...). Brooks could be a brilliant filmmaker and I still think his version of Capote's IN COLD BLOOD is a true masterpiece (albeit a bleak one). Have you ever seen THE PROFESSIONALS? A great star western, albeit definitely one 'for the boys'.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-314580092336022362011-11-30T03:53:50.163-05:002011-11-30T03:53:50.163-05:00I saw this film years ago.

Thank you for reminding me of this classic.Prashant C.
