Very nice guitar! And welcome to the forums, h_cue!

Are you a big fan of 60s music, Jake? When I was in college I used to listen to oldies almost all the time.
This is one of my other 60s favourites:

Most definitely an awesome movie. Just hope it might be released on blu-ray one of these days. B-)
And for some strange, this Sunday afternoon I suddenly felt like listening to this:
-
*Jules et Jim*... c'est magnifique!! :x

> To celebrate Randolph Scott's birthday, I've just watched The Walking Hills for the first time and wish to highly recommend it to anyone here who hasn't had the chance to see it. It's got a great cast (Ella Raines, Edgar Buchanan, John Ireland) directed by John Sturges. Kind of a film noir Western with echoes of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
I don't know if I have ever seen that one. Thanks for the recommendation, Belle!

It's possible only tcmprogrammr knows for sure why this film was matted. Maybe it was just done that way to conform to the aspect ratio of European TV, which if memory serves, was a bit wider than American TVs even before HDTV widescreen sets came along.

Haven't seen it in decades, but will keep that in mind next time I watch.

Well, even if the movie isn't showing today, it's a fun topic for a Sunday afternoon.

> The winter scenes are one thing I admired in that they did them in winter. In the early scene you can see their breath. It's the same later with some of the horses. It sure does look cold. At least in the good old days you couldn't fake it . Now I hear people say they have put in the breath with special effects.
It's true, CGI effects can be used for the breath effect, but depending on circumstances, it can easily be more expensive than actually shooting in a cold location.

_Very_ nice poster, although the movie is apparently not on today's schedule.
But with that nice painting of Coop, who's complaining?

As long as they don't consider Ben Affleck for the James Garner part....

Arkadin,
How come that site says their version of *The Swinger* is also 81 mins.? Seems like $30 is an awful lot to find out it's the same version that just played on TCM.

Western Movie Rambles
in Westerns

That's quite a few westerns you've watched lately, Jackie! Although of course I tend to think of *Border Incident* as another genre altogether. You watching *Silverado* and *Barbarosa* tonight?
I get what you're saying about "realism" in John Ford's westerns, and for me personally it goes a little beyond just "realism", but rather a somewhat artistic version of the world. It was explained a little bit in *Directed by John Ford*, they gave the example of Maureen O'Hara's veil in *How Green Was Our Valley*, I think. So it included things that were possible in real life, but somehow also definitely enhanced for the benefit of the camera.
