    Why no reviews???

    Deserves to be seen.... If this was an Eastwood film it would be part of life... I love Clint no doubt... I also Love Ernest, Burt Reynolds and they just went away with no one recognising their final efforts... Like The last movie Star /with reynolds/ this is a last in the line for an oldie great Bonifide movie star... At such and old age Borgnaine was still wanting to entertain and full of life until the end... Great film that should be seen by a wider audience.

    Farewell Ernest!

    What a great final movie for a class act!

    Really a good movie about regrets and remembering what's important in life.

    Nice show... thank you for all the memories Mr. Borgnine.
