Posts from badger in thread „Cahill: United States Marshal (1973)“

just watched this film again and enjoyed it even more 2nd time around. i thought cahill was a good strong character who was trying to do the right thing, both for his boys and for the town. he also seems to have a good relationship and a lot of respect for the indians he works with.
my favourite line in the film was when he was bringing the bandits back to town who had robbed a mormon and he was determined not to give them up
[to an outlaw trying to rescue the prisoners]
J.D. Cahill: Well, there's no use prodding around. I'm willing to die trying to keep 'em. The question is, are you willing to die trying to take 'em. Now I'm cold and hungry and wet and tired and short-tempered, so get on with it!

thanks also for the words to the song ethan - i v e only just seen them

have just watched this film and, having read that it wasn t one of his better ones, especially by his own admission, wasn t sure what to expect. personally though, i really enjoyed it. it seemed to get better as it went on and i liked the idea of having a song half way through it. was this a 70s thing in general? i thought it was a nice family film
