Description: Burt Kennedy wrote several of the finest Westerns ever for director Budd Boetticher in the late '50s--marvels of austere, subtle storytelling. Yet on his own, writer-director Kennedy tended to very broad comedy-Westerns. The Rounders, based on a novel by Max Evans, falls somew... |

![]() | The Alamo - Thirteen Days To Glory [Read More ...]
Review: Look for the details:Yes, this has faults, many glaring. But it was created for the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration and was aired during the time of year of the battle (if I remember correctly). It was made to be entertaining and appeal to the young people (Alex Baldwin; the y... |

Review: NOT MUCH HAPPENING . . .:
Not much happening in this psuedo, comedy western from 1970. How Frank got talked into this farce would make good coversation over a drink or two. If he was trying to follow up for SERGEANTS THREE, or 4 FOR TEXAS, he missed the bullseye.
However, if y... |

Review: "Talk White, Nachai!":This is a solid "guys on a mission" story, led by the effective, but unlikely Bekin Fehmiu (making this a Middle-Eastern Western, I suppose). It is surprisingly politically incorrect even for its release-1971. Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee was a best seller ... |

Review: A Wilder West:This video should still be available for all of us Wild Wild West and Robert Conrad fans out there. How anyone could think this was a terrible movie is beyond me. Of course, it was campy and the jokes were silly but such was the case in the popular show of the 60s. ... |
