From "Monte Walsh", (1970) one of my all-time favorite Westerns. Sure wish the Hollyweird idiots would release a good DVD copy.
Well, I finally received from Amazon my DVD of the original "Monte Walsh", which is among my favorite Westerns. I ordered it several months ago, as soon as I heard it was being released, but since I always order Amazon merchandise via free shipping (which is only offered for purchases over $25.), they waited to send it with a new Tom Clancy book I had ordered at the same time but which wasn't released until about a week ago.
Watching the movie this afternoon. It's a very good Western, which I highly recommend. Parts of it are hilariously funny but the tone overall is sorta sad, since it's set during the passing of the old cowboy West, which is one of my favorite periods of American history. The original is much, much better than the Tom Selleck version, IMO.
