Quote from DukePilgrim

Starts well for the first five minutes then disappears into quick sand and by the time it finishes you are desperately hoping it was a mirage.

Unfortunately, it is a major sandstorm going nowhere for the duration and your best hope is to sleep it off and hope the next movie is a closeby oasis.

Mike, that's exactly how I felt about this film. I also liked that Kurt Kaznar was in it but in not enough of the movie to help it much. I hate to admit that I actually do not like a film with the Duke in it. I mean, I could even stand watching The Conquorer (SP?) over ever seeing this movie again.

Hi Ringo
Guess you found your answer LOL I have nothing to say as Ollie would put it.

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

Hi Mike; {;-))

Not sure about Mitch Miller Chorus singing that tract but, I remember hearing them in non-John Wayne westerns as well. One I think they sang in was: Escape From Fort Bravo w/ William Holden, John Forsythe, William Demarrest, Richard Anderson & William Campbell.

Hi Mike, Popol,

Mike, opps, I should have read Vera's post first

Popol, thanks for that info as well.

Hi Ringo
I managed to download the theme song from Horse Soldiers today from Frostwire

Other gems were El Dorado theme and Chisum althrough it doesnt have William Conrad's narration plus a version of Rio Bravo.

Burned a nice little CD with those others bit there were parts of John Wayne America Why I Love Her

Hi Mike, whats frostwire? Also, can you use thematic music for a ring tone on cell phones? Not that I have a cell phone yet but, I plan on looking for one in the next several months and would like to have my own "personal" ring.

Hi Carl,
I agree with you about Horse Soldiers - it is one of my favorites. As for Winds of Eagles it is also good movie. Of course amoung Ford's it is considered not amoung the best, but it is Fords anyway and it always means something.

Vera
BTW I read some reviews at Amazon about Legend of the Lost and there are many favorable ones. They mention the athmosphere of the film and very good cinematography. So it is worth watching. Planning to purchase it myself soon.

Hi Vera/Mike: Thanks.

Vera, yep, I always enjoy watching the Duke and William Holden "going at it" in that fine movie. I also love the music. (I left my love, I left my love in the holler of the tree<<<<<<<<<<<<<) Aye, and John Ford did a good job as usual.

I'm kinda shocked to hear that The Horse Soldiers didn't do so well? It certainly is one I have always enjoyed and place it in at least the top 20 "best of" Duke films.

Hi Bob, great point. I agree with you, the Duke made anything he was in bearable--meaning those VERY few films he did that just didn't "cut-the-mustard." I remember the one time I watched: The Conquour, that at least it was watchable because of he as well as because I also like Pedro Armendariez.

Hi Bo, I never cared much for that film. The Duke was good in it but, i'm no Granger fan--tho he was good in The Wild Geese--and gets killed by Richard Burton at the end of the movie.
