Elly,
When you watch it, tell us about this movie. I'd like to hear about it. Is it worth a viewing?
CheersHondo
Will do but it may be awhile before I can watch it. All my JW stuff is in UK and I am in Bulgaria now. Hoping to be in UK around Christmas time so perhaps a review in the new year?
Display MoreMike,
Central Airport is a rare one, but we don't have it listed as missing,
or unavailable.
Duke was way down the list as 'uncredited'!
He appears 56 minutes into the film
as an officer in a downed plane in the Gulf Of Mexico.
His screen time is short, some 32 seconds,
as he helps passengers onto the plane's wing and
drowns while helping a passenger.
Hi Mike and Keith
I have a copy of this movie on DVD, a transfer from video tape. However been a long time since I watched it probably cos JW is not in it very long.
Made in 1933 so pre Stagecoach days but after The Big Trail 1930 which should have rocketed him to Americas leading man.
IMO What a hunk he was in the Big Trail and what an epic film! Would do almost anything to see the 70mm version on the big screen. ANY OFFERS FROM CINEMA OWNERS??
My friend ColoradoBob recently sent me the latest DVD release with a remastered version of the 70mm film on it but not the same watching it on large screen TV as it would be at the cinema.
hi Keith
you should have done a poll on this question as it appears that by a large majority in this order
the shootist
the cowboys
Sands of Iwo Jima
are the "top" 3
this is also my choice. I still cannot watch the shootist without weeping buckets.
on a slightly different note, I used to like listening to to the theme tune from Island in the sky but since I heard played during JW last appearance at the oscars I can no longer listen to that without crying. brings back memories of shadow of the man he was, physically I mean, very sad.
