This is a great movie. But I can't get Fox anymore. Direct TV took it away from me and wants more money for me to get it back.
This film is 77 years old. There has been more time since this movie was made than the time between when it was made and the real old pioneer days.
They use many of the real old type of covered wagons in this movie. It's very realistic to regarding the Indians.

Coming up in 2001 will be some computer screens on the main large spacecraft shown when they are on their way to Jupiter.
One or two of the screens show some machine language code used in old Radio Shack Model 1, 2, and 3 computers.

TCM occasionally shows this movie.

Dang! You mean Armanpour is a woman? I didn't know that.

Well, let's see. There were handsome men in the movies for the ladies in the audience, and there were pretty ladies in the movies for the men in the audience.
American women began to wear Hollywood styles and makeup to attract American men, and American men tried to imitate the mannerisms of the most handsome Hollywood men.
So what?

Yeah, Andrea Mitchel with NBC, Barbara Bowser Walters, and Rosie Bow-Wow O?Donnald

They'll do more than that.

That's because they have journalistic training.

There are a lot of young field reporters today. They are just out of college and are cheap to hire.

They are using their T and Assets. Thanks to Cosmo magazine.

The public is about 50-50 men women. I would give them men and women anchors and field reporters. Better looking ones, but ones who can keep their knees from showing on camera.

It was a female CEO who ruined ACM and tried to turn it into a new "women's network".

I was speaking mainly of women anchors who wear short dresses on the air.

I think we are missing a big opportunity. One of us needs to write a book titled ?How to Train Dogs and Husbands.?

Yes but it's only the women who dress like this.
We had girls at a TV station I worked for and the general manager had to tell them to wear more clothes when they were on the air. It was the girls doing the undressing, not management. It's the girls who take their clothes off in the movies. They aren't slaves. They aren't forced to do it in the movies. So don't blame men for "sexism" in the movies.

When were you a teenager?
Was it color or B&W?

I?ve noticed a lot of female news anchors and women on interview shows, such as those on the Today Show, with dresses slit up the side to their underwear. And others with dresses so short they show their knees and parts of their thighs. Why do the women news people do this? Do we see men with pants slit up to their underwear or above their knees?

Broderick Crawford always seemed menacing to me, and so did Jack Palance, especially in Shane.

Robert Mitchum was pretty frightening in ?Cape Fear? too.

Ok I just heard the reference to "Apache Wells" in the movie Stagecoach.
There are several "Apache Wells" in Southern Arizona, some around Mesa. Some at about 200 Miles West Northwest of Lordsburg. So, now I'm a little more "oriented" at where this film is supposed to take place. Also I see the Saguaro cactus just outside the stage station. That looks like Southern Arizona to me.
Which actor portrayed more real people?
