    I heard about that a long time ago. You have to admit, the line stays with you. I know that I have used it many times myself, and I use my Duke impression when I do!

    I knew Natalie Wood (Debbie) had passed years ago, so I was curious whether Robert Lyden (Ben Edwards), was still alive. Sadly, he passed away in 1986. That makes Pippa Scott the last Edwards child actor to be still with us. Bless her heart.

    I have seen this before, but only after someone pointed it out. Otherwise, I know I would have never caught that. Someone out there was unknowingly in one of the greatest westerns of all time.

    Hello and welcome to the forum, greenego. I never noticed the stripes before. As they never revealed Ethan's rank or what he did during the war (that I remember), I don't have a answer for you. Maybe someone else can reply who knows. Good eye, though!

    No, KPKeith, I wasn't looking for discrepancies. It just finally jumped out at me. Does anyone know if that small pond is really there in Monument Valley, or was it man made for the film?

    I posted this earlier, but for some reason, it didn't take, so I'l post again.


    I watched The Searchers today and caught something I never noticed before. When Ethan and Martin come back to the Jorgensen's ranch after Brad was killed, they pass a small body of water in front of the house. Later in the film, Ethan and Martin are camped by a small body of water after the Indian woman, Look, caught up with them. The small lake is the same lake in front of the Jorgesen's. The bluffs in the distance are the same in both scenes, but they are supposed to be far away from the Jorgensen's ranch. I went back and forth several times to check. I shocked myself for noticing that, as I am never real observant of these types of things. I've never seen this pointed out in this thread, so I thought I would add it.

    I love Monument Valley. I think The Searchers is not only a fantastic film, but a feast for the eyes as well. I understand your point, Pinto, but if we used reality as a guide, just about all movies would be quilty of stretching it.

    Hello H.sanada,

    I don't put them on as attatchments, I put them in my photos. Look below your name in the post above. If you click on the my photos count (your's is 0), it will take you to a page where you can put photos. You are allowed up to 100 photos in your gallery. Then you just link to that picture in your post. I have to trim my down a little, I have 94 in my gallery. I hope that answeres your question.

    I only have one of the comics (The Conqueror), Jim. The others that I am posting are examples I found elsewhere on the web over time. I do have all the books I am posting, though. That is where my interest was when I was collecting. The books I could afford, but the comics always seemed to be out of my price range.
