The CampFire

[Old Judge Creek]

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

That is a great period movie. I like them talking about the dude ranches and the funny mentality that perfectly matches the modern working cow hand. Hate the cheap boss but think he's not all that bad in the end.
