Today I saw: Advance To the Rear which had: Glenn Ford in it as well as Alan Hale Jr. Whit Bissell, Andrew Prine and a few other recognizable faces in it including the Gentleman who played Thursten Howell the 3rd in Gilligan's Island. Nice comedy I might add. Oh and, the film had Michael Pate in it as the resident Indian Chief. Michael Pate to us Hondo fans was also Chief Vittorio in the movie of the same name. In this one, he is like the "Mingo" (Ed Ames) character in the Daniel Boone TV series. Though not Oxford educated, the Michael Pate Indian Chief character was a graduate of West Point class of 1835. ;-D
Anyway, one greatly and painfully wonders why the hell the stupid people who can make choces of what movies to release on DvD do not release any of the Glenn Ford comedies? This one sure was a nice change-of-pace.

THE MAN FROM THE ALAMO (1953)
GLENN FORD with CHILL WILLS and HUGH O'BRIAN
about a alamo defender who leaves to protect his family. good action but eveyone's has a revolver. not in 1836. wrong weapons for the time frame. -
Nevada Smith (1966). Sadly Steve McQueen was ridiculously miscast as a 16-year-old.

My favorite Eastwood film, is still Dirty Harry, especially the part where he has a hot dog stuffed in his mouth.

A pound of meat,
And all the mustard you can eat,
