Screen Legends- Audie Murphy

[ringo kid]

i liked audie murphy a good actor.his best role was in the unforgiven with burt lancaster.most of his westerns are decent enough especially night passage,hell bent for leather,walk the proud land,drums across the river and so on.he is another actor that was taken well before his years.

Im halfway through watching Rose of Cimmaron, Audie Murphy, and couldnt believe my eyes, he is riding Jimmy Stewarts Chestnut Arab/ Q/Horse named Pie.

Must have been before JS started riding him because i think only once did someone else use him in a movie when JS was away and when he returned and foind out he was not happy. JS rode Pie for over 20 years.

I think he tossed Glen Ford into a tree when he rode him

HI RK

Oh sorry Ringo i have already forgotten his name in the movie, will have a look today.

[jessie]

Hi Ringo, i went back and wahed the first 15 mins and they seemed to be just calling him Doolan.

Have y'all seen Audie in: Unforgiven-as one of Burt Lancasers Brothers. I thought he was very good in that role as an "injun-hatin" cowbow.

[jessie]

I thought it rang a bell Ringo so i had a lok in the cupboard in case we had seen it. What i found was "Unconquered' with Gary Cooper and Paulette Goddard, i actualy didnt really like it much though.


Audie Murphy DVD's seem to be turning up a fair bit lately in the $2 & $5 bins so we have grabbed them. We always have a quick look because often some very old and hard to get ones actually turn up.

I realize that I might be stepping on some toes here, but I could NOT stomach Audie Murphy.

I "tolerated" him in the movie where he played himself "To Hell and Back," and I respect and admire him for his heroism and resulting accolades, but watching him on film is like enduring a 4th rate version of "The Music Man"

Don't worry you're not alone! Maybe I need to watch more of his films to pass a proper judgement but on what I've seen so far I have to admit I agree with you.

hi Tennesseean, give him a try in a movie called: Bad Boy. It's one of his earliest efforts and he was not only good, but VERY good--I kid you not?

Hi D/ see post above--give Bad Boy a chance-and come back to me for other opinions of what ive seen of his and ill gladly give you a list--Audie REALLY was good. ;-))

Thanks Ringo Kid. Having read this whole thread now I feel I really need to give him a fair shot. I'll let you know how I get on once I've tracked this one down.

I've not seen that one (to my knowledge), but if I ever find it, I'll muddle through it. ;)

If it's a turkey...you'll owe me big-time.

I myself liked Audie Murphy westerns. Plenty of action and good stories.
If tou don't like him thats fair. Hard to believe but their are people who don't like John Wayne. But I think those people have a screw loose.
