Nov 06, 2011This is some great stuff! I really enjoyed it. And it was released in 1940? Man, has this movie aged well or what? It really holds up today.
-
Sep 25, 2010Ordinary western especially coming from Wyler. Walter Brennan won an Oscar for this?
-
Sep 05, 2010I saw this on TV because I was bored. I hate westerns, and this movie didn't grab my interest, so I didn't watch the whole thing. From what I saw it didn't look like a great movie.
