    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?

    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 *. 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.
