I’d just like to know if the yellow adobe bricks on the BD, are back to being red again in this new presentation

I think I’ve only seen her in The Best Years Of Our Lives, but she was wonderful in that film

Recently saw the Narrow Margin, and while I really enjoyed it, you can’t think too deeply about the logic of the movie

If Kino can get their hands on Hatari from Paramount, perhaps they can get Katie Elder too. That one needs a redo just as much as Hatari.

That was an excellent clip!

Watching this now. Purchased when it first came out, but somehow never got around to watching it. Beautiful B&W image. As for the film itself, absolutely love it. The Cleggs were probably my favorite band of wrong-doing family members on film. And Ben Johnson, Ward Bond and Harry Carey Jr...

Another excellent review Matt. I will say in response to your one minor quibble, the scene where Wayne comes back from from wagon and relates the story was done on purpose by Ford. John Wayne had never done such a long scripted speech at that point in his career, and Ford wanted to push his...

Excellent review. Like you, I think my favorite part of The Boob was the dream sequence, with all the Harry’s continuously coming out from different parts of the car

Haha, I actually like Crow a lot in the filmed version of Les Mis. He is one of the best Javert’s I’ve seen, and I’ve seen the show dozen of times (and I’m going again tomorrow in Schenectady).

And there’s always been a question mark at the end of The Sea Chase

I read it was the director’s daughter, but appreciate the clarification

My biggest issue with the filmed version of Oliver is the inclusion of the director’s daughter’s voice whenever Oliver sings. Completely takes me out of the film

Absolutely wonderful film, which never fails to get me emotionally. John Wayne’s final film could not have been more appropriate. As for Clay O’Brien…while he was cute in The Cowboys, and definitely stole a few scenes, he was not an actor by trade. And unfortunately that come to light in...
