What Was The Last Western You Watched?

[Hawkswill]

Many of the same similarities that you see, they were two men who only really had each other and went from place to place trying to earn money with the eventual hope of settling together and just enjoying the simple life, and eventually it cost one of them their lives. James Stewart's character is also rather introverted and rarely let's people in rather than Brennan which is quite similar to the character of George, although I admit Brennan's character doesn't really bear any resemblance to Lenny. I guess it just reminded me because of the idea of two people who only really have nothing but each other and only wish to live the simple life together.

Thanks Irish Duke. Maybe my old English Lit isn't quite as rusty as I thought. Although, I DID have to think a bit to remember Of Mice and Men.....Long time ago, LOL. Thanks again, KPKEITH

custer of the west

[The Irish Duke]

Hi Irish Duke, I can see a slight similarity to Of Mice and Men as to the desire to have a ranch of their own....working toward it...the death of Walter Brennan. Never was very good at symbolism. Will you enlighten me on your thoughts there? I really am interested in knowing. Thanks, Keith

"Silverado" - been a while since I saw it, really an enjoyable western.

High Noon, 60th anniversary Blu ray.
Still as good as it ever was and looking fantastic on the Olive Films Blu ray release.

Apologies for the mixup, Duke has all sorts of fans from all sorts of age groups though.

Duel in the Sun.
Epic in every aspect of the word, OTT 'acting' by Jennifer Jones, but such a majestic sweep you can kind of look past that. Joseph Cotten on form as usual and Gregory Peck was solid. Great for a Sunday afternoon.

Hi there Dooley,

Never heard of that movie. But, with what you have written about it, I have put it on my list. Thanks for telling us something about it!

Jeez! It was the film Selznick made after Gone with the Wind!
Totally over-the-top but very enjoyable.

Classic Movie Westerns- Duel in the Sun

[The Irish Duke]

Not sure if I should post this in this thread or the other one but I finally watched The Alamo yesterday. Was a fantastic epic, the thing that stood out for me was the great quality of acting and touching scenes, at points was abit of a tear jerker even. Think this was arguably Duke's finest acting performance up there with Rio Bravo and The Searchers, he really kicked it up a notch in this one.
