Last Non Western You Watched

Quote from Gorch

"Act of Valor" which apparently starred real Navy Seals. The action was realistic and the terrorist plot is scary.

We deal in lead, friend.

Jack Watson played the captain and sergeant major in Wild Geese. He also had a role in The Sea Wolves which was another Andrew V Mc Laglen movie.

A very lived in face reminds me of Victor maybe that why Andrew had him as part of his regulars.

Autograph details for Roger Moore attached plus instructions.

He gets his clothes made in the same tailor as Michael Caine in London so he does make appearances from Switzerland

Quote from Hawkswill

Well, read up on it, and I am still getting only one quote. Will have to ask one of my friends.
I saw all of my Duke movies on the big screen up until about, well, when he quit making them. Can still remember sitting in the theater and watching The Shootist. Although three of us loved it, one kept saying how he came to watch a John Wayne movie and "this is NOT a John Wayne movie". I suspected he was just trying to cover up any emotion rather than show it as the rest of us did unabashedly. I rarely saw any on TV until I began my research project, and those were satellite, DVDs or Streamline from Netflix. I lived in big cities the majority of my life, so there were usually re releases of a lot of the great movies. Here is a link to the full movie, THE GREAT ESCAPE. I just watched a little and checked it a few places...seems pretty good.

I read that Mcqueen did most of his own riding plus was disguised and rode as a German a bit. One part was where he strung the wire....that was McQueen who hit it and crashed. Also, he attempted the long fence jump but crashed. So his friend, a Triumph , (the motorcycle kind, LOL), dealer did it. That started him on a new career doing scenes in Bullitt and later in the TV show Chips. Good luck on finding it Ringo!

Glad you know about Histomil--im one of the moderators there and I do get wild at times--but its a respectful site with some adult humor ;-)) I dont have any control over some stuff going a bit far--but at least they dont want things way off base ;-))

It was pretty good. I just saw it last week. The only thing I was bothered with was it started off a bit slow but picked up and kept the pace ;-))

Oops forgot--I just watched: The Vikings while eating lunch today. I always loved this movie. Long live Ragnar & Einar!!!

It Came from Beneath the Sea nice digitally remastered release of Harryhausen movie that has colour and black & white versions. Colorised copy is very good. Apparently supervised by the master himself.
