Inky Beecher

If you are a fan, you will love it. He plays an old washed-up movie star I only watched half of it because the scene where he visits his family home in Knoxville TN was sad and made me cry...at 6 o'clock in the morning. God, he made a lot of films! My son owns a Ford Expedition he onced own. Mother liked him, too.

I loved it. The little girl is so good, and this is the first movie in which I've ever like Beluchi. Sure it is sweet. We need sweet. No T&A, nobody is shooting up, nobody's throat is slashed, etc. Quality family entertainment. John Hughes!! Good one.

Beautiful, breath-taking... hard to believe I had never seen or heard of this movie. I saw it on the Direct TV cowboy movie channel, after a couple of Audie Murphy and a John Wayne shoot 'em ups. And then this complex story of love and destiny began with a scene of four large horses pulling a Cadillac. Is this a comedy? Abruptly, the story switches to the 19th century and to a story a young photograher [n Paris falling love with an fascinating young Parisan girl and convincing her to sail with him to America and the American west. Suddenly, a second story begins in which a vetinarian, James Caan, lives in the hard cowboy west with an lovely wife who wants to return to civilization in Philadelphia. The two stories soon intertwine. Much fore-telling and some English sub-titles. Long Robert Altman-like camera sweeps and charming dialogue. The two love stories are full of tension. The acting is absorbing. James Caan was more winning than I could ever have imagined he could be. The sadness and beauty were overwhelming. I pretty much cried throughout the entire movie..A few scenes were copied from popular American westerns, no doubt as a tribute. A lovely, familiar, sad musical theme. Released in 1977... but looked and felt like it was made today.
