Tales of the Vikings (1959)
Vikings TV show
We were just talking about the Tony Curtis and Kirk Douglas film, The Vikings, and that got me remembering the TV series.
I remember it was on Sunday nights here in St. Louis, and was sponsored by the local Laclede Gas company.
Let's see...
"From out of the North like an icy wind, came Odin's fair warriors free... With broadaxe and spear, they conquered...(something)
Don't remember much more!
I recall that Buddy Baer had a huge club carved into the shape of a woman which he called the "little maiden".
I'm wondering if this was only on kinescope, and no copies remain?
No Country for Old Men (2007)
Excellent film.
I must say that I have not read all the (800+!) comments, but I certainly don't agree with the last several negative reviews.
I just watched it last night, and found it deeply affecting, though not for the reason most would think.
Found it well constructed, well acted, and well photographed. I'm looking at this film through the eyes of a 61-year-old police officer who's been in the biz for just a bit short of 40 years. So I'm pretty much down with Jones' character. When he says, "I begin to feel overmatched.", I know exactly where he's coming from. And that's exactly (IMHO) why we didn't have a big, hairy shootout with the assassin.
Bell says to himself..."that's enough", and takes his retirement. Too many changes, too many really evil men running around. A time for younger men... No Country for Old Men, after all.
