Starring: William Holden
A rancher gathers a posse to hunt down the Indians who have allegedly murdered his wife and family.
A bit like the Magnificent Seven. William Holden was a strong, believable lead and the movie was heightened by stunning scenery and the always enjoyable to watch Ernest Borgnine. I found the ending a little unsatisfactory but on the whole, an enjoyable watch. 7/10
Every Sunday morning, i watch an old movie that I've never seen before. Here are my weekly thoughts of the films with a mark out of 10.

Call Of The Wild 1972
Starring: Charlton Heston
During the Klondike gold rush, a stolen dog becomes a miner's best friend before joining the wolf-pack.
Now, I like a dog film as much as the next man, in fact I preferred Rebel to Champion The Wonder Horse, but this was not good. Yet another disappointing Charlton Heston performance. I found this on Youtube nd the colour of the movie seemed very washed out. The constant dog yapping was an annoyance and there were wooden performances wherever you looked. A few bright moments however saved it from being a complete right-off. 4/10

Journey into Fear 1942
Starring: Joseph Cotton
A munitions expert finds himself in danger from assassins in Istanbul, and has to be smuggled home.
Typical spy, melodrama. Not bad and had a good climax with a cheesy exit line. My main issue was with a few of the supporting characters. They were so caricature that they came across as completely unbelievable. Always interesting though to see these old Hollywood classics. 5/10

The Disappearance 1977
Starring: Donald Sutherland
An international hit man finds that his wife has disappeared.
Donald Sutherland's movies are often quite odd. Any excellent movie needs light and shade. This started dour and remained so throughout. It wasn't that it wasn't occasionally interesting, it was just all very much on a level and just a little strange. 5/10
