No, not that one about poker playing...
I'm talking about the 1965 movie made of Max Evans' book, The Rounders.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059661/
Ther cast includes Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, and Chill Wills and is a delightful comedy - if not a bit dated - about two old (c. 1965) cowboys (and a horse... what a horse ) just trying to git 'er done.
Anyway, I've looked for this out of print DVD for as as I've had a DVD player and last week I found a copy at WarnerArchives.com for $22+S&H.
Anway, the film is a joy to watch. The sceneary is as "old west" as it can get, the cast is is chock full of the greatest character actors - ones we all remember and especially the horse ("Old Fooler").
Check out the link I posted. This is a fun movie.
The book is also one of those few that made me laugh out loud: The Rounders by Max Evans _________________ OJC - DCMG #1
