Stumpy had an interesting question, which he posed in the "What Was the Last Western You Watched?" thread, but I thought I'd bring it here, to the dedicated thread, to promote the conversation -

Quote from Stumpy

I've been thinkin' I'd better catch up on some Duke viewing while I'm still able so yesterday evening I watched "Stagecoach" and this afternoon I watched "Red River" (each for about the 30th or 40th time apiece).

Both brought to mind a couple of questions I'd like to ask my fellow Duke fans:

a. How many of you remember the Ringo Kid's actual name in "Stagecoach"?

b. With what act of Dunson's did you most disagree in "Red River"?

It's been such a long time since I've watched it, I think I'd rather answer after a more recent viewing.

But I hope others will chime in with their thoughts.

The music from Red River bears the distinct sound of composer Dmitri Tiomkin -

Yes, and watching Duke hop that fence at the end of the movie, still moves me.

Thanks for the clip, gt. What are the maximum minutes of movie you can post on Youtube? I'm thinking some of our members with rare JW movies could upload them on Youtube, then they could be posted under the respective title in the Movies forum. It would be better to have the whole movie there, if possible.

How old is your colorized vhs? I've had problems of color fade after like ten years.

In the past I've gone to Amazon.com. and checked the new and used column
to see if, under comments, they indicate it is a colorized version.
I did this with Red River , through 71 vendors to no avail. You might try calling some of those vendors as they would probably know.

Keith,

That's a neat poster. Is it a British one? It's different from these, the third of which (the bottom one) is a 1952 re-issue.
