    Hi



    I've had this photograph in my collection for some time but I think this is the first time I've shown it. Don't know why? it's not a bad photo advertising not a bad film.

    Regards

    Hi


    I agree that Donovan's Reef if taken as pure fun is a reasonable movie. However it didn't sit well with some people who were uncomfortable about suggested racial undertones.


    Personally I think you would have to be a sad person to look for that in a picture, but obviously there are some that do.


    I must admit that I am surprised that Ford used Lee Marvin after their exchanges during the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, but as they said Ford was becoming way past his sell by date.
