    good old movie

    I truly like the old movies . I spend hours watching them late night ( I'm retired so have the luxury of doing it now )

    the special effects at the time were good in there day , the fights were a bit obvious in the swing and miss and the throwing the bullets out of the pistols with that down swing must have gained a hundred feet per second and dozen shot revolvers of course LOL

    and all the light color make up so they would show up better on the film , but I watch and enjoy the old movies for what they were no comparison to the computer generated stuff now but the basic good always wins out

    I remember one old movie where I learned why the North won the War for Southern Independence. THEY CHEATED. Errol Flynn was playing Custer & they showed him using Trapdoor carbines at the First Battle of Manassas Junction.

    I watched just the very end of Stagecoach the other day. The Duke was supposed to go to jail for a year. But then, the Sheriff let him ride off into the sunset in a buggy with his girlfriend. Did the sheriff just let him go, or did he have to go to jail?

    The Kid and Dallas lived happily ever after ...

    after watching for the 50th time i actually read the credits. i found it interesting Claire Trevor had higher billing than John Wayne. and yes i know it was very early in Waynes career but i found it interesting.

    The bad guy was named Yakima Canutt and was a real life bad a$$. He was a rodeo rider, actor and stunt man. He was in a bunch of older westerns and he is always the bad guy.

    He was also a great stunt director and directed the chariot race scene in Ben Hur.

    I noticed that Claire Trevor had top billing, and John Wayne was second. I bet that was the last time he got second billing.

    This was his first big movie.
