This movie was a revelation to me. I just stumbled across it recently, looking for any Johnny flicks I might have missed and boy howdy was I surprised. I'm not not generally a fan of westerns, but I totally fell for this movie. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the black and white film, the dialogue and the wonderful characters.

Leave it to Johnny to find this little gem and make it his own. Not to mention, another hat. :cool: I only wish the dvd had some extras on it, as it would have been so interesting to hear and see the behind the scenes details.

I'm not a total Western fan either, but I would watch for Johnny.

This is one of the few films of Johnny's that I have not been able to see yet! :(

I have searched for this movie and like no one has heard of it.

How can that be!?

I got my copy years ago from a UK shop, but I've just looked on Amazon, and they have it in both region 1 and 2, from two sites. I hope you can get it.

I don't really do online shopping though, so that's where I get stuck.

I don't use credit cards at all and I never will, unless I can get a prepaid one just for that, online purchases.

Yeah, I hate online shopping myself and prefer the old fashioned way, though with obscure things like this, it can be a real challenge. You might want to try our local libraries, that's where I found a copy. I couldn't buy it, but at least I was able to see it.

That's a good idea! Thanks harley! :)

I saw this movie in full, finally over Christmas this past year. It was on TV.

It was a slow start, but once it got into the story, I quite enjoyed it and I loved that it was in black and white.

Anywhoo, I made a new banner for the OP:

We need to edit the OP with the banner! :)

I did see this a few months back on TV, but I don't know what or how much may have been cut out for time constraints. So I would like to see it in full you know! :nod:

It isn't showing so I can't add it.

My bandwidth on photobucket has reached it's 10GB. It will reset in 24 days. :(

I can see it now, so I've added it.

Thanks, I don't get my PB thing though. :confused:..

I have no idea I'm afraid.
