You migh...Buck, I hope you're not disappointed. You might try that season 2 kickoff episode which aired this past Wed. nite--I could be wrong, but I'm thinking you should be able to download it to your computer somewhere on the net.<br /><br />George, I'm with you on "Yuma," one of the great western movies of all time. In the '57 original, Van Heflin is superb as is Glenn Ford. The Russell Crowe remake isn't too shabby either. <br /><br />Everyone always talks about Leonard's dialogue, which is great, but to me his greatest asset is creating memorable, truly idiosyncratic characters. It's even true of the minor characters that populate his stories.Dapper Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230099347154360809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867112187125913607.post-73711367259670539972011-02-12T10:49:42.375-06:002011-02-12T10:49:42.375-06:00"3:10 To Yuma", boy-oh-boy-oh-boy, what ..."3:10 To Yuma", boy-oh-boy-oh-boy, what a great movie! it's right up there with Cooper's High Noon.

Based solely upon your recommendation, of course.<br /><br />As a former Detroiter I can say this: Mr. Leonard is considered a GOD in those parts. He's right up there with Stevie Y, as a s'matter o' fact. <b>;-)</b>Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
