Sweatshopboy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Mel Gibson is pretty good at destroying himself, and the reputations of some genuine heroes while he was at it. Gregory Peck and David Niven weren't there either, but the Guns of Navarone was a first class movie. We could go on forever about this but what's the point. I don't go to movies any more they're not worth the money. I would recant about David Niven, why do you have to libel people who are not here to defend themselves. I myself think you are writing a load of cobblers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinder Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I feel certain the title is " What became of the Cowboys" so where on earth the USA Marines come in this I haven't got the foggiest.. So unless the Cattlemen's Association also objects to John Wayne on the grounds that he never actually did a cattle drive with John Chisum, let's drop the who objected about who bit, and return to the original subject before we all start on Errol Flynn... Eh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh... Can we count Errol as a cowboy, he did make some westerns, although I thought he was better in tights than chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me thinking now, was it "Carson city" ? David Niven was another name that's been mentioned, but I think the nearest he ever came to a western was "Around the world in 80 days", am I wrong ?

Grinder I think you might be referring to "Dodge City" ............ A good western it was too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyman170 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I watched a cracking western a few years back. It was called "MONTE WALSH" and starred Lee Marvin and Jack Palance, it was set at the end of the wild west era, 1890's The west had been tamed and the indians settled on reservations, the big cattle drives had ended because the railroad covered the western plains, and civilisation covered America from east to west. It told the story of Monte Walsh and his friend Jack Palance as they tried to get work as cowboys. The ranchers no longer needed experienced hands and were run by big cattle corporations. It was a way of life that was dying out but these two cowboys knew nothing else, it was quite sad really.It was a very powerful tour de force by Marvin and Palance, two fantastic actors. Ps, Buck, Lee Marvin was an ex US Marine who served in the Pacific, and one of John Waynes greatest friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadogo Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Can we count Errol as a cowboy, he did make some westerns, although I thought he was better in tights than chaps. He was also said to be better with his sword - rather than a Colt 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh... You may recall that it was you opened up on Audie Murphy, decrying his acting ability, as if to imply his war record was a sham, which it wasn't. To you heroes are celluloid, to me they aren't. Some buffoon on here is on about heterosexual actors, and is concerned about who and isn't. So what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
