Why use Cord McNally from El Dorado when Wayne's character was not the same in Rio Bravo? Why re-use the "Pat" character from Rio Bravo (played by the late Ward Bond). Hawks should have created a fresh movie all on its own. 0' Neil is wooden as a board. Terrible. Rivero can barely act and he has to play the second lead with name above the title. Poor decision from a great director. Nothing needs to be said about the Duke. He is great as always but he does need help from his cast to make a movie interesting. The plot of the script is actually quite novel. Unfortunately, like he did in El Dorado, Howard Hawks got spooked and went for a conventional approach instead of using something o retesting. It's a shame!

Think of the actors gathered together for this movie. Great actors all. Think if all the trouble it must have taken yo get them all together.

Just rattle off the names of the women and lead men. Even that is not enough.

Some stars in supporting roles as well: Alicia Silverstone Giancarlo G.

Wallace Shawn Not counting the top male stars The story is quite slight but many movies have been successful, even fairly good without a tremendous plot. Especially with the cast of great talents assembled here. Unfortunately, this does not fall into that category. This is bad, bad, bad. It is nothing but paint by numbers schlock. Why go through the trouble of getting all these great actors together and produce a failure of a TV show type thing. UGH!!!!

Harvey Korman is not bad as Abbott but what the heck is Buddy Hackett doing? His voice is exaggerated. His timing is off (especially during "Who's on First"). Korman can't do the timing right when his partner us sooo slow. I did this routine with a partner. While we could never touch the real team, we were certainly better than these guys. The odd thing is that Hackett once substituted for Costello in the film "Fireman, Save My Child. " What a disgrace!

Another thing. Why isn't Betty Abbott in this movie?

The way they treated Abbott's epilepsy was fairly well done. I gave epilepsy myself. While it goes not seen as bad as Abbott's. It still is a cross to bear.

This was a missed opportunity. I think it's time for someone else to do a biography of the team. Only this time they need to do it correctly!

Can simple history be correct? Their first movie was NOT a starring film in "Buck Privates" but a supporting role in "One Night in the Tropics"

I saved the worst for last. The.way they treated Costello was terrible. Sure we heard he had done some poor things about him but there has to be some balance!

Is This Enough Words ?
