And you are right about Kennedy; I rarely enjoy watching him on screen, but sometimes he has a likable side that makes you want to forget the rest. He plays a similar role in THE MAN FROM LARAMIE, which is my favorite of Mann's westerns with Stewart.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-29991011310437110162012-02-14T02:51:16.816-05:002012-02-14T02:51:16.816-05:00Thanks so much for the link!

This is gonna sound like sacrilege but my favorite Mann Western isn't even a Stewart picture; it's The Tin Star. Of course, I'm a huge Henry Fonda fan.Dave Enkoskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472835951281573009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307577717655310918.post-1397288303002811092012-02-13T16:41:48.287-05:002012-02-13T16:41:48.287-05:00Never see Bend of the River, but I am a fan of Win...Never see Bend of the River, but I am a fan of Winchester '73.Kimberly J.M.
