I liked all the "current day" stuff in Love on the Run quite a bit, more than most of the stuff in the previous two movies, but the flashback stuff was completely out of control. There was one point where they just plopped in a nearly five minute long scene from Bed and Board! What on earth was that all about?

Three Violent People (1956)
Thoroughly ordinary western with Charlton Heston as a Civil War veteran returning home with a new wife (Anne Baxter) whom he discovers has had a rather dishonorable past. His one-armed brother (Tom Tryon) is jealous of him. Not much to thrill about here, though it was interesting seeing Baxter and Heston working together again after THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. For what it's worth, Robert Blake has a role as a young Mexican.

Did you miss Jamie Farr as one of his brothers?

Yes, I did! And you would think his face was very distinctive!

I've seen some stinkers in my day, but now I'm pretty good at avoiding turkeys.

I only gave out one bomb rating out last year and that was to The Exorcism of Emily Rose which offended me on a personal level (and I probably shouldn't discuss that here). I also gave out a few *1/2 and ** ratings. Overall though I've got a good batting average with my movie viewing.

Yeah, that particular flashback was a bit too much but I didn't mind them overall.

I haven't posted on it yet, but I watched Blackboard Jungle the other night, which had Jamie Farr's first role in either movies or TV, back when he was still credited as Jameel Farah (he's from a Lebanese family). He was pretty easy to spot.
