May she rest in peace. I wonder if she ever met Duke.

My wife and I are supposed to go take the Quiet Man walking tour maybe sometime next year. This is my favorite movie. Wish they had a director’s cut of it the way Ford wanted it to be before he accommodated Yates to get that stupid two hour limit.

I agree he contributed greatly to the film’s success! One of the most enjoyable characters I’ve ever watched!

Sounds like at this point there’s nothing left but a pile of rocks. I read some years ago that a woman came in and stole the entire fireplace to reassemble in her house she was having built.

I saw that James Caan passed yesterday. Loved him in El Dorado. May he rest in peace.

Please pray for those suffering from the Winterset tornado yesterday.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Alright! The Duke’s Christmas movie will be on!

Welcome Mike and sorry for your loss.
From the descriptions and quotes you shared sounds like your dad was a wise man. May he rest in peace.

Welcome Hoot! Hope you enjoy your time here!

I think they’re all invested in making money off the Duke via merchandising on their Facebook page; most of which frankly I’m unimpressed with.

Thanks for making my point for me.
BTW if you aren’t aware of people having siblings much older than them I guess you haven’t grown up around many large families. There are two friends of mine who have nieces and nephews older than they are so to me an 18 year old with a 40 year old brother is nothing out of the ordinary.

Dean Martin was not believable as one of the brothers as he was clearly Italian.
I don’t get this statement. How was Dean Martin “clearly Italian “? His accent sounds pretty American to me. I never saw a single strand of spaghetti in his teeth in any movie he ever played in. If by your statement you meant that he seemed to portray a certain warmth and zest for life yeah I’ll give you that.
I grew up with people who were clearly Italian, my grandfather’s people being from Abruzzi. I’ve known “clearly Italian” people who are 5 ft. tall, olive skinned with dark eyes and I’ve known “clearly Italian” people who are 6 ft. 8, blonde haired and blue eyed so frankly there is only one basis I can think of for your statement.
Would you say that Kirk Douglas is clearly Russian Jewish or that Mike Connors is clearly Armenian?
By the way Dean was born in Steubenville, Ohio. The city’s pretty proud of that fact as there is a sign boasting of it as you enter town. And for what it’s worth his son Dean Paul gave the full measure of service to his country as a fighter pilot; dying in a F4 that went down in a snow storm over the San Bernardino Mountains.

Hey Michael, it was a spaghetti western before spaghetti westerns were cool!

It was definitely a surprise to the men on the Arizona and Oklahoma

Thanks so much Kevin!

I’m not a newby but this is such a newby question.
How do I change my password? I can’t find where to do it.
