Be very careful with this one.....
25 September 2007
Be careful, you just might laugh till your side splits. This movie is rated "G" which stands for GREAT! Hollywood doesn't make movies like this one anymore. Shame! I don't understand why this is. Perhaps it's the obvious where censorship has gone by the wayside because Hollywood has capitulated to the almighty dollar. But that's no excuse as far as I'm concerned, it may also be because there just aren't any present-day actors worthy of filling the shoes of the immortals like, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, even James Garner for that fact. There are still a multitude of great actors I haven't named, but you know who they are/were. This film is so great it doesn't need cgi effects, gratuitous sex, violence or profanity, yet still it stands the test of time. James Garner is at his best, Jack Elam's performance is simply precious (he was made for comedy) and the supporting cast is just phenomenal, especially the immortal Harry Morgan. Another great flick of the same genre with the same leading cast is "Support your local Sheriff" I can't decide which one I like better!
