Interesting point there, Mike. Is Keith's performance up there with Scott's as Patton? Let me put it this way: Keith manages to make one think less of Keith the actor than as Keith as Roosevelt. What I mean is, one loses himself in the performance; one easily thinks, "Hey, that's Teddy...

Mike, I would say Dennis was making a hyperbole-free statement in saying that Keith "nails" the role of Theodore Roosevelt. I remember being skeptical myself back in the summer of '75. Then I emerged from the theater with my buddies, yammering that this was, and I quote, "the best goddamned...

Is this a testy invasion? What's going on here? I am shocked. But I've looked at the DVD, and will screen it again this afternoon, and review all the extras (including the commentary track). The review will be cranked out tomorrow, and it will be posted early next week (in time for the...

"Does Dennis Nicholls have no respect for human life?!"

Not much, Dennis. And the disc came complete it in a shrinkwrapped snapper case (was expecting an umarked jewel box). Was just too wiped out last night to look at it. But tonight ...

The disc is now in my possession. Why, hale, ahhma gonna look at hit tonight.

Still waiting for UPS to make its afternoon delivery here. Arranged for it yesterday, even as the driver was making a second attempt at my house. Frustrating, having the disc so near yet so far. Hope to have it in my grubby paws within the next two hours. Why, I might even screen the sucker...

Warner attempted to deliver the screener copy to me on Friday, via UPS (unfortunately). I will call UPS tomorrow to arrange delivery at work on Tuesday. The review will follow shortly thereafter.

Thanks for the heads-up, both of ya. Pre-order time!

Yes! An entirely new transfer with an entirely new soundtrack. When I hear the words "adventure film," these two titles spring to my mind first. They don't make 'em like these any longer, sad to say.

No complaints here, buddy.

"Military intervention!"

"He has the look about him."

Dravot! That's correct. Three lashes with the diaper! :) And I misspelled Michael Cain's name, as well--one lash for that offense.

Yes, Peter, that was quite an experience to see two such wonderful films released within months of each other. Interesting how Sean Connery, when he was seeking deperately to shake being typecast as James Bond, chose the most wildly "non-urban-sophisticate" roles he could find: Zed in Zardoz...

Great film ... several people want it ... Warner seems not to care. So what else is new?

"...are a great deal of trouble." :laugh:

Vintage MGM titles are now, unfortunately, under the control of Warner--including one of the greatest films ever made, something by a Stanley Kubrick.

"He has the look about him." I suggest a snail-mail campaign to his agent's Beverly Hills P.O. address. All it would take is four or five letters coming to Mr. Milius's attention. "My uncle is a wonderful man!"

"Military intervention!" True, John Milius is somewhat of a "gun-rights" advocate (witness many scenes from Red Dawn) and not "acceptably" liberal, he sure knows how to make a fun, good movie. And The Wind and the Lion did quite good business at the box office in 1975; it was considered a hit...

I requested this in "Feedback" around a year or so ago. The thread died a quick, painless death, and I assumed there were not many fans of this John Milius film here. I swear, this is a rousingly good adventure film--and it was released only a few months before another great adventure film, the...

"A Winchester? What is this Winchester?" I've seen this film numerous times in the commercial cinemas back in the mid-'70s. It's an adventure film of the highest order, an adventure in the truest sense of the word. I would buy a correctly framed DVD in a heartbeat. It's a mystery as to why...
