Forester war novel "The Good Shepherd". Well I do not have Apple TV. I have streaming so I think I can buy it? I am using an Aussie channel called FUBO and YouTubeTV. FUBO is great for sports whenever that happens again. July 24th is the plan. Cant wait to see how that is going to work. I know ESPN is one option as they have a contract but I a assuming that many games might come out on Pay Per View to make up for the loss's? I wont pay to see the NBA or NHL playoffs unless St Louis goes far in hockey. My team is out of it. What else is new. The best hopes I have is for the Bills. Maybe the O's in a 60 game schedule? I still think there will b surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Showing the youngsters John Wayne movies before cancel-culture wipes them out. "El Dorado" is basically Howard Hawks remaking his own "Rio Bravo"...with Robert Mitchum in the drunk role instead of Dino, and James Caan in the young hotshot role in place of Ricky Nelson. Interesting score by Nelson Riddle, who you usually don't expect on a Western. After John Ford, Howard Hawks was the director who got the best out of John Wayne. John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara made five films together. These were their last two..."McClintock" being better than the merely average "Big Jake". Not only does Maureen O'Hara get paddled in "McClintock" but so does a young pre-"Hart to Hart" Stefanie Powers. A pre-"Munsters" Yvonne De Carlo also appears. The story is basically Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" transported to the West. "Big Jake" is basically piffle...an amusement to while away the time and nothing more. Even Elmer Bernstein is on autopilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 The 'Duke' will never die. Just watched these, mainly to see Jay Robinson as madman Caligula. Susan Hayward looking fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Didn't know this. Al Mulock who was in the opening scene of 'Once Upon A Time In The West' committed suicide on the set in Spain. I don't know any more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
