Summary: Exquisite gem here
Comment: Relentlessly sad and painful but also sweet and funny and somehow hopeful. It's universal theme of change and ability to adapt to change can be applied to the stages of life in individual lives, in industry, in cultures and in countries. The theme song "The Good Times Are Coming," sung by Mama Cass is the greatest example I've ever seen of how music can elevate and accentuate the theme and tone of a movie. Thank goodness for the TCM channel, which makes movies like this available to those who would otherwise never have the opportunity to experience them.

Summary: One of the top westerns of all times-PLEASE RELEASE ON DVD
Comment: Why they don't release this on dvd is beyond my understanding. It would sell big time. I put this western in my top 10 of all time western greats and easily in top 50 of all time great movies. Lee Marvin and Jack Palance are wonderful and Moma Cass song makes the movie even more haunting. Bring on the dvd I will buy 3 copies. 1 for me and 2 for my sons who love good westerns. PLEEEAAASSSEEE RELEASE ON DVD

Summary: The Passing Of The West
Comment: It is a sad thing nowadays to see the genre of the Western, the most uniquely American film genre there is, now all but a distant memory in Hollywood. The scenes of wide open spaces, the rough life of the people who inhabited it and tried to make a new start for themselves in such unknown territory--things like these give us a sense of our history and of good storytelling, the kind of which is so often in short supply in 21st century Hollywood, where big money is at stake.

Take for instance the underrated 1970 western MONTE WALSH. Based on the book of the same name by Jack Schaefer (the writer of the novel "Shane" that became one of the greatest western movies of all times) and set on the dusty Arizona plains of the late 1890s, this melancholic but well-crafted film stars Lee Marvin in the title role of an old cowhand who, along with his good friend Chet (Jack Palance), now feels the heavy hand of age upon him, and also sees those signs of Eastern "progress"--railroads; telegraphs, etc.--closing in and slowly but surely rendering those of his type obsolete. But Marvin is not one to kowtow to the kind of progress represented by faceless individuals from the East, especially not when Palance is gunned down. He also doesn't find it proper for him to sell himself to a Wild West show, no matter how good the money; as he tells the show's emcee: "I ain't spittin' on my whole life."

MONTE WALSH marked the directing debut of noted cinematographer William A. Fraker, who had already attained wide acclaim for his camera work on BULLITT and ROSEMARY'S BABY in 1968. Here, aided by fellow cinematographer David M. Walsh, Fraker frames the film much like a Remington painting, earning him possible comparisons to the classic style of John Ford. Clearly, however, MONTE WALSH belongs to that crop of westerns that were to emerge in the wake of Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinpah, where the taming of the West is not so much celebrated as it is questioned. Although obviously less violent than Leone's or Peckinpah's films, it is every bit as deeply moving and exquisite as those directors' films are, with Marvin and Palance each giving some of their best performances, and the fine location shooting in southern Arizona adding to the ambience.

Though it has been on VHS for a while (and was remade a few years ago, with Tom Selleck doing Marvin's role), it is high time that this fine sagebrush story also find a home on DVD as well, and in a restored condition. Films like MONTE WALSH, and indeed all Westerns in general, will be lost to history unless this happens.

Summary: "Did you know Big Joe Abernathy"?
Comment: The song by Mama Cass at the beginning of this show is the story of Monte's life; "I'm not about to come unhinged when everything goes wrong". This movie depicts the rough edged life that cowboys endured. Monte's time is running out though. He is going to have to find a new occupation. Near the end of the show Monte sees a horse in town that "Shorty" couldn't break. He mounts it and breaks it but nearly destroys the town doing it. A man who gives wild west shows sees him and is impressed with his riding. He offers Monte to join his show, but he'll have to be "Texas Jack". The money is good but Monte can't do it. "I'm not gonna spit on my whole life", he says.
