I liked "Gunsmoke" much better than "Rawhide", especially after Festus (Ken Curtis) became Dillon's deputy.

I'm glad you're enjoying some of the eps, Keith.

I bought about four seasons, so as to see if my original poor opinion of the series was justified. And sho 'nuff, old buddy, it was.

All my life (75 years, so far), Western movies and TV series have been my favorite form of entertainment. But I remember when "Rawhide" became a new TV show, I stopped watching after about the first season because I thought the series stunk. And 45-50 years later, I haven't changed my mind.

By the way did Mitch Miller Chorus sing the open track of She Wore a Yellow ribbon?

No mention of Mitch's bunch here, Mike.

I hear Duke thought "Barbarian and the Geisha" was his poorest movie. I think Pilar says that in American Legend DVD. I haven't seen that one apart from a trailer so I cant comment

From what I've read, Duke and John Huston (director of "Barbarian") didn't get along at all and that may be the main reason JW didn't care for the film. But as I've said numerous times, I've always thoroughly enjoyed it and thought the Duke was great in it. He sure didn't display any signs of discomfort in the movie that I could discern.

considering Wayne and Huston's equally disastrous joint project The Barbarian and the Geisha was still waiting in the future, perhaps its better Huston wasn't involved here.

It's funny but "Barbarian and the Geisha" is one of my favorite Duke movies, I think because he played against type. Not only that but I have a big old soft spot in my heart for Japan and her people, from time spent there while I was in the Navy.

To return to the thread's theme - there are some JW films I've never seen and "Legend" is one of 'em. I think the reason was that it got lousy reviews when it was released and I just decided to skip it. Another is "The Conquerer".
And I think I only saw "Jet Pilot" once, despite the fact that both leads were two of my favorite players.

You got that right, Jay. She's 71 years old and puts those new Hollywood actresses to shame.

I read somewhere on the 'net recently that Sophia was gonna pose in the nude. Forget why but just the mere thought raises goose bumps. :lol:

This must have been the why.

On the plus side you have Sophia Loren, who is worth paying the price to see alone, and don't forget at her age she has just been voted one of the most attractive women in the World.

Amen, brother Arthur. Aaaah, those eyes. Make me wanna melt.

BTW, I read somewhere on the 'net recently that Sophia was gonna pose in the nude. Forget why but just the mere thought raises goose bumps. :lol:
