Oh man, I haven't seen this since maybe the '60's or '70's & I love it! Lee is cute & has that sparkle in her eyes & Burt, well, what can I say, what a man! Love watching these old actors I grew up with!
Thank you for posting this movie. It's always been one of my favorites. It's very goofy and wonderful, great music! I remember seeing it in the Cooper Cinerama when I was a girl with my family. We laughed ourselves silly!
this movie is priceless the musical score is one of the greatest and the most beautiful ever written by elmer bernstein and the look on burt lancaster is just plain priceless to behold watch this movie and you will never forget either!!!!🙂🙂🙂 🙂🙂🙂!!!!!!!!
One particular element that has me watching again and again is the fact of the incredible number of FANTASTICALLY SKILLED EQUESTRIANS (horseback riders). I wistfully hope such skilled riders and organizational abilities to coordinate that chaos still exists. Yes there were and sometimes still are nasty humans who have no heart. I'm an optimistic person and having watched this movie numerous times the horses Coats shine and their muscles ripple. Carefully watching their legs and feet as they move walk, trot, canter, gallop and go flat out fluidity prevails. Watching a horse's head, eyes and especially ears definitely tells their feelings as well. Wistfully would love if someone preserved this creation in a manuscript or novel perhaps! Again GOD BLESS and thanks to all originals and to those with the graciousness to for free post!
You know, you might find the temperance leader lady a bit annoying and controlling, but she does have a valid point: alcohol is so bad for you. Especially on the liver and kidneys. My brother's father died from alcoholic poisoning of the kidneys. He was on dialysis right up until the end and still trying to drink booze, arguing and fighting with the hospice nurses every day over beer. Gone at 69. A sad waste.
Easiest solution I can think of to their little conference hand the temperance women over to the Indians and say there's your gift and then when they want to trade them back in addition to each of the women just to take them off their hands. Ask for 2 horses The women don't want to be around alcohol, the natives aren't supposed to have alcohol problem solved.
