"Vera Cruz" (1954)
-Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster

After the American Civil War, mercenaries travel to Mexico to fight in their revolution for money. The former soldier and gentleman Benjamin Trane meets the gunman and killer Joe Erin and his men, and together they are hired by the Emperor Maximillian and the Marquis Henri de Labordere to escort the Countess Marie Duvarre to the harbor of Vera Cruz. Ben and Erin find that the stagecoach is transporting US$ 3,000,000.00 in gold hidden below the seat and they scheme to steal it. Along their journey, betrayals and incidents happen changing their initial intentions.

Great movie for western fans. Fast paced action, terrific acting and a good plot make this one enjoyable film. I loved it.

The Egg and I


this is the old film that launched Ma and Pa Kettle

fun movie - i suspect this was where Green Acres drew their inspiration from.
(city folk trying their hand at being country folk)

my favorite scene : the community dance where the wife was forced to dance with every inbred hillbilly at the shindig - a dance scene straight out of the addams family.


Pa Kettle is one of my favorite cinematic figures.

"i'm gonna fix that......... one of these days"

Loved it. The music is outstanding, the actors are wonderful...its a little bit lacking in plot, but more than makes up for it elsewhere.

Now that's a powerful performance if I've ever seen one.
