The Last Frontier (1955)
A thumping good western.............
One that passed me by I think, my loss. Excellent film to me, the cast demonstrate that the training they got all those years ago works. Today, nothing going on behind the eyes. Too many who are slaves to their mirrors and hairdresser. No reactors: all waiting for their line. Too many who think a spell on big brother will do for training.
A good story , well told, If this film comes around and you thought it was a run of the mill western, try it, you may enjoy it.
I don't know who the Hollywood studio trumpeter was, who did most of the bugle calls, the 'accidental' jazz like phrasing and superb sound was worth a grin ... perhaps Conrad Gozzo. That's the sort of blooper I like.
I am getting a little tired of being offered the same film over and over again with the usual monosyllabic dialogue, obligatory car crash and so on this for me was everything I miss about Hollywood.
Law & Order (1978)
Law And Order
I wonder whether the inexcusable omission of this series from the Video and DVD catalogues has anything to do with potentially causing the same sort of disquiet.I do hope not. Controversy is now the stuff of TV drama. No subject is sacred.
The attention to detail as far as 'correct' police procedure is concerned was commendable. This happens rarely today. The poetic licence taken, makes one wonder why police advisers are employed. Actually I believe that it is only to give some insipid police drama some sort credibility.
Whatever, nothing must get in the way of the obligatory love story, sex scene, unbelievably stupid senior police officer and so on.
This magnificent mini-series should be seen as superlative drama, not as some sort of contemporary social comment.
