Posts from Dooley in thread „Joel McCrea“

Quote from Paula

I should add that I love Joel McCrea... in westerns and everything else! One of my all-time favorite movies is Sullivan's Travels.

Thanks Paula, that's a great film! Glad it's being released by olive films so hopefully it'll be a great transfer. I agree re Joel mcCrea also, very solid in everything I've ever seen him in.
Currently watching Night of the Grizzly on olive films on Blu ray.
I must admit, it's the least impressive transfer of all the Olive film Blu rays I've watched to date but it's also the first one I have no direct comparison to check against.

Thanks Ringo Kid.
I love the ones I've seen and both have Duke and Scott at the top of the tree so I'll try and check a few of these out.

Quote from Hawkswill

I know little to nothing about Joel MacCrea. There was just something about his looks that didn't appeal to me, so I skipped his movies. Maybe I missed something, what? Any others of his that are extra special? Keith

You need to watch some of his westerns, they really are some of the best.
Ride the high country is way up in my top 50 westerns of all time.
