JackFavell Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Ha Ha! I want to make sure I get a good look at the "scenery". Good Lord! Ralph Bellamy is in it! There's even a "view" for Bronxie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissGoddess Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 There they are! Sooooooo cute, all four of them! MrGrimes can talk better about *The Professionals* than I can, he's a real fan.

I think you might find it entertaining, even though it's a real "action" western. There is still camaraderie and friendship and Robbie ( :x ) is playing another of his "sweetie" roles (he cares gently for horses, just like Ben...it's a real Ben Johnson role, actually). This is one you recommended for a more benign Bob, but thanks for the action-label "warning", because you're right, I don't normally like these kinds of films. And I can't believe Ralph is part of the cast (and what a cast!) But then again, I was shocked to see him in ROSEMARY'S BABY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's such an "action oriented" movie, it's not quite a huge favorite, but it's grown on me with recent showings on Encore. You might not like it much, but would probably find it more entertaining than Once Upon a Time in the West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me see....he's probably a docile old rancher in love with Claudia and wants to make an honest woman of her, like Charles Bickford with Jennifer Jones in DUEL IN THE SUN. No? Don't tell me!

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 So once again I decided to give BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID another chance. I got through "Raindrops" with gritted teeth, and "The fall will probably kill you", etc. but the worst was yet to come: more music: "****-**** dooh, ****-****-DOOOOO, ****-****, dadada-****.........." I screamed at the t.v.: "GEORGE ROY HILL I LOVE YOU BUT I'M SHUTTING OFF THE SET RIGHT NOW! I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD PAUL AND ROBERT LOOK, IT'S OVER!"

lzcutter Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Bronxie, Next time you take a run at *Once Upon a Time in the West* try watching for Jason Robard's character, Cheyenne. It might help make the film more watchable. It did for me the first time I saw it. Of course, back then that was the edited version where Cheyenne just disappeared towards the end of the film with no explanation. Now at least, his character has some closure.

Bronxgirl48 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 This is so helpful, Lynn, thanks -- I do like Jason, even though I've never seen him as far as I know, in a western. Now if you can give me some tips to get through BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 *Now if you can give me some tips to get through BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID..* If it helps, enjoy it for the chemistry between Newman and Redford. It's a western with a '60s twist. Ignore the '60s stuff (especially "Raindrops") and try to enjoy it as the story of two men who have run out of time and are out of place but can't give up their wicked, wicked ways.

fredbaetz Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Some westerns of Robards to check out: "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" "A Big Hand for a Little Lady" "Hour of the Gun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd like this movie better with Errol Flynn. (he could play both parts) (sigh) Okay, I'll give it another shot, and see if I can ignore the "grooviness".
