I've not yet seen it and didn't know it was a remake of *Black Bart*. It's now on my "must see" list. Thank you, Errol, for the information.{font} {font:Times New Roman} {font} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawolf Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 somewhere in Western lore, it was written that Wells Fargo paid Bart an annual payment to NOT rob their coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 BLACK BART is a fun film. Any Universal western with Yvonne de Carlo is fun to watch. The remake that you mentioned is equally entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 TopBilled, you are so right about the combination of Universal westerns and Yvonne DeCarlo. They are all so entertaining, and one can usually count on at least one musical number from her. What a talent! I recently saw one of her early westerns, "Frontier Gal" and was surprised how enjoyable it was. One I haven't seen in a long time is "Scarlet Angel" with Rock Hudson. I keep hoping that the Encore Westerns channel will show it, since they seem to present a lot of Universal's westerns. Terrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Another good one that Encore shows from time to time is THE GAL WHO TOOK THE WEST. Charles Coburn and Scott Brady are her costars. She ages into an old woman in that film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
