 Movies that new ones can not compare with April 25, 2009
Alma Bell (Sierra Foothills)
This Movie has it all! Great cast, wonderful scenes and
wardrobe. Movies of yester-year... Sure miss them today.

Will probably get a lot of hate mail, but in my humble opinion, this is the funniest western comedy ever made. I'll even go as far as saying, it's funnier than Blazing Saddles (which, I also liked)!
Check it out yourself, you'll see...
Who Knew Lancaster was Funny?? January 29, 2009

Well, who knew?? Burt Lancaster made me burst out laughing more than once. The movie itself is a bit dated, with humor and circumstances suited for a less jaded audience than you can find these days. However, the filming, the outstanding music, and the performances of Lancaster, Pleasance and Remick will make this one viewable for a long time. I wish the entire soundtrack was available! Get this one just to watch Lancaster, if you must.

Burt Lancaster is at his best in this comedy about whiskey and the temperance movement. I have watched this movie a dozen times and still laugh at the story line and all the aspects brought to the final ending. Mr. Lancaster plays a straight laced Colonel just trying to do his job, but the supporting cast such as Jim Hutton make his life unbearable. This is a family movie all can enjoy, and a laugh a minute.
WATCH OUT FOR QUICKSAND BOTTOMS! December 13, 2008
Kay's Husband (Virginia, U.S.A.)
This movie was taken from the 1964 Doubleday DD hardcover western novel THE HALLELUJAH TRAIN written by Bill Gulick. Mr. Gulick was a well known writer to those of us that read and enjoy print westerns. He also wrote other westerns such as TREASURE IN HELL'S CANYON, and the trilogy of the Nez Perces War: DISTANT TRAILS 1805-1836, GATHERING STORM 1837-1868, AND LOST WALLOWA 1868-1879. Most of his westerns were of a more serious nature but every once in a while he wrote one such as THE HALLELUJAH TRAIN. The book was released years later in paperback as THE HALLELUJAH TRAIL, with some people feeling the movie version was an overall improvement of the book.
I've seen the movie several times down through the years, having a copy of the DVD now, and still enjoy seeing it every now and then. As long as the viewer can enjoy a somewhat atypical 'western' it is well worth watching, if for no other reasons than good performances by the well stocked cast members, plus the fact that several of the actors are now dead. The movie also is representative of what the movie production companies were releasing in the mid to late 1960s.
If a viewer enjoys good acting, western motifs, and light satire with a touch of history, then this movie will rest easy with them.
Warning: do not camp overnight at Quicksand Bottoms, especially if your cargo is a load of whiskey!
Semper Fi.
