Correct, stick. A name not cast-listed, but used by others to address that character. The American sailors adapted the form of address that the Chinese locals used for him. I was sort of hoping that the post would come to the attention of the member with the username JakeHolman. stick's thread.

On the money, skipper. Brian Keith as the gunslinger who hired out to the Land Grant honcho after he fell for the man's sister (Rita Gam). He was a Texan, and these new people showing up here were Yankees; no problem. Rick Jason as the land baron of the title who married an American widow and became thoroughly Americanized. -- His oldest son died serving at Gettysberg. The Gam character became a nun after the death of her brother's pistolero, and the final conversation takes place at their graveside. There is an audience for this story but it seems to be mostly abroad. Amazon has DVDs only in the Range 2 foremat. TCM has a quite detailed synopsis of the film (even makes reference to the tricky gunplay). That seems the most likely source to get to see the film. I've asked for it on "request a movie", and would appreciate any added voices to this request. Good work. mudskipper's thread. Edited by: flashback42 on Mar 15, 2012 5:12 PM

Historical setting of this story: California, before the gold strike. Conflict: the expectations of the newly-arrived settlers from the East vs the origional Spanish land grants. Hired gunmen on both sides and cross-conflict romances.

A father has killed his comatose son in this scene.

can't resist. *18 Again* A swapped - lives fantasy that starred George Burns.

Thanks, CA. *The Old Man Never Came to My Recitals*

*On The Waterfront* ???

*17 Again* One of several good do-it-over-and-get-it right fantasies.

This pretentious film published a handout sheet that was supposedly a primer on the latest in teenagers' slang.

Awwww! I was about to post *Casper the Friendly Ghost.* uh, metz's thread, right?

*Thirteen Conversations About One Thing* ...Maybe about a strategy for avoiding the obvious choice of Ocean's 13. B-)

For a few years bracketing the release date of this film, Western programs were popular on TV, and there was a fad among some of these shows for weapons gadgets. Specially altered Winchester on The Rifleman. Short-barreled, no-stock shotgun on The Rebel. Sawed-short, "mare's leg" rifle on Wanted Dead or Alive. Wyatt Earp's "Buntline Special" pistol. Shotgun Slade's signature weapon. Jim Bowie's namesake scabbard knife. These and others. This movie emulated those TV programs with a weapons gimmick of it's own. It's a trick holster that can swiveled to allow the wearer to deal with someone coming from behind without turning around. The hired gunmen (he in the grave in the closing scene) uses the device effectively. He teaches the trick to the bigshot who hired him; that man uses it to advantage also, before his own death.

Correct, metz. Your thread.

"When somebody kills your partner, you do something about it."

Want it, skipper?

well into the present century... Man in a hospital room opens his coat and unbuttons his shirt. He removes the monitor attachments from the comatose patient, and attaches them to his own bare chest. Smothers the patent to death with a pillow. The job done, he re-attaches the monitors, replaces pillow and coverlets. Buttons up his coat, and he's gone by the time the Nurses Station personel come in to check on the new information showing up on their monitor screens.

The client in this case -- A well-regarded actress with both TV and Bigscreen credits, including a wife role in a long-running domestic sitcom.

...as described the possibilities are finite, but let's see what happens: *One Is A Lonely Number* (1972) And if it helps, that title was changed to: *Two Is A Happy Number* (1972) ...Is that helpful?
