The one aspect that drags down the enjoyment is knowing the script was intended for Ron Howard and John Wayne until Wayne's illness made it impossible. Now Wayne and Howard with that script would have been terrific!Richard Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770090814220403413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-3114890589103461132009-06-30T23:09:30.074-05:002009-06-30T23:09:30.074-05:00The shakey camera you mentioned ruined the movie f...The shakey camera you mentioned ruined the movie for me--and coutless other movies as well. Oh how I wish someone would teach today's director's how to direct and cameramen how to film, and (perhaps most importantly) post-production people how to post-produce.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-91133160627937413332009-06-27T16:56:10.798-05:002009-06-27T16:56:10.798-05:00I hadn't noticed it before, but Shroeder does ...I hadn't noticed it before, but Shroeder does indeed bear a resemblance to Henry Fonda in that picture. Not so much in the movie itself, though.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-63013739427155081892009-06-27T16:20:59.048-05:002009-06-27T16:20:59.048-05:00At first I thought the picture was of Henry Fonda!...At first I thought the picture was of Henry Fonda!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-19149331847392033712009-06-27T14:25:37.349-05:002009-06-27T14:25:37.349-05:00Mulcahy is an underrated director.Mulcahy is an underrated director.AndyDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-16783861777637972622009-06-27T09:06:36.179-05:002009-06-27T09:06:36.179-05:00I've always enjoyed Rick Shroeder's acting...I've always enjoyed Rick Shroeder's acting and the plot you described reminded me a little of Steve McQueen's Hell is for Heroes.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-74641026734958964732009-06-27T08:54:11.273-05:002009-06-27T08:54:11.273-05:00One of my favorite war movies is not your typical ...One of my favorite war movies is not your typical war movie. Ever see Gallipoli? WWI is more or less the back drop against which to present the story of two young men portrayed by a very young Mel Gibson and Mark Lee. They enlist as "runners" and are used to "courier" information and orders during battle. This 1981 Australian film was directed by Peter Weir and well worth watching.Frank Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564007564601986631noreply@blogger.com
