Thank you very much.

Just watched Valdez is Coming

The ending seems like The Big Gundown, as I recall - no one was willing to shoot the fugitive!

Had to laugh when Lancaster and Frank Silvera, neither of whom are Mexicans, start mimicing how they as Mexicans act when speaking to white guys.

Just started watching Butch Cassidy & Sundance in honour of Robert Redford. I loved the early card game scene when the player backed out of a gunfight!

Hope you’re enjoying it. It’s a good one.

Always though Sam Elliot played the embarrassed card player, but here he is talking about the scene

:wink:

Pretty small role!

A small role for Sam Elliot, yes…but I’d love to claim that I was an extra in this classic, iconic, 1969 Western.

Yup…
I’ve seen ā€˜Butch/Sundance’ so may times that I’ve lost count. Because Sam Elliot is such an icon (especially in Westerns), I’ve searched for him every time that I watch the ā€˜card game’ scene.
I, also, thought for a while that he might be the guy drawing down on Sundance…
The video (posted above) explains a lot about why I never spotted him…

As an afterthought…I think that this has to be one of the films with the most quotable dialogue ever (by the great William Goldman). The lines are clever, thoughtful, humorous, and, above all…so damned memorable…
What makes the dialogue so beautiful is that it (as with all great comedy), mixes humour with pathos and tragedy..

Sundance: ā€œIf he tells us to stay, we’ll goā€¦ā€

From one classic western to another - I just watched The Wild Bunch again.

The Mexican officer reminds me of the other one in Blindman with the same laugh/line - crazy gringo!

I watched a classic: Duel at Diablo with James Garner and Sidney Poitier. Pretty straightforward western. Chata is fled from the reservation with renegade indians and is a thread. meanwhile a load of wagons have to be transported from one fort to another with Sidney as horse supllier to have the horses trained as they go along. Garner is scouting and in search of the killer of his wife.
And then there is a white women who wants tp go back to the indian tribe.

It all comes together at the final fight at Diablo.

Did not expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the acting of Garner and Poitier

Custer of the west 7/10
Robert Shaw is impressive and convincing in the lead role, but the story has weaknesses in terms of the motivations of the Native Americans.


The 2016 Blu-ray with weaknesses in image quality.

Finally got round to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. First time viewer and I enjoyed it. RIP Robert Redford.

8/10.

I’m usually not a fan of more comedy based westerns, or comedy films in general, but I couldn’t help but enjoy the nicely placed humour here, and overall chemistry that Newman and Redford had together. Some really good dialogue and the film seemed to have high production value. Very easy to watch.

I may be in the minority but I think I preferred the first half, prior to them heading down to South America. But still very enjoyable.

I think I’m going to catch Jeremiah Johnson next…
