I guess I've seen this classic western quite a few times too.<br />Great cast as you say, and a plot that never lets up.<br />And thank you for making me think about the excellent photography.<br /><br />Vienna's Classic HollywoodViennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907591161822012949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-78337471916225584482013-05-07T15:06:56.865-07:002013-05-07T15:06:56.865-07:00You don't have to love Jimmy to like this movi...You don't have to love Jimmy to like this movie. In fact, he'd probably prefer it if you didn't. On the other hand, a re-watch after such a long time just might put you in his corner. First and foremost, it's a dandy movie.

I think my brother and I are the two only two people in the history of movies who never really cottoned to James Stewart.<br /><br />I know, I know, how do you figure it? EVERYONE LOVES Jimmy Stewart...<br /><br />Still, I might just line up this movie to view again.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-17076638807935580892013-05-03T08:01:15.557-07:002013-05-03T08:01:15.557-07:00Patti, the great Dan D. does not disappoint.Patti, the great Dan D. does not disappoint.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-65071426703912541702013-05-03T07:14:39.381-07:002013-05-03T07:14:39.381-07:00I don't lean heavily to Westerns, so this film...I don't lean heavily to Westerns, so this film has never crossed my path.

Even the weaker "The Man from Laramie" gives us Aline McMahon and Donald Crisp. Not too shabby.<br /><br />You are so right that the structure of "Winchester '73" doesn't lag for an instant. Always something to grab your attention and interest. These are characters you wonder about after they leave your sight.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-77160039494912490032013-05-01T19:03:21.686-07:002013-05-01T19:03:21.686-07:00Great pick, CW!

They're exceptional films (though MAN FROM LARAMIE isn't as strong as the others). In addition to the brilliant location photography that you mentioned, I love the narrative structure in WINCHESTER '73. At several points in the film, we follow character A, who then meets B, and we start following B's story arc. How clever is that?Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.com
