I'm now re-watching John Wayne / John Ford classic westerns
for the 3rd. 4th, or 5th time since childhood back in the 60's.

And I am now appreciating just how well the music can add to the richness of the movie experience,
but sadly how badly dated the thick headed
'humorous' blarney knock about 'humour' scenes now stand out and detract like fingernails on blackboards
from otherwise top quality vintage movie art...

it really does hobble 'classics' like the "The Seekers"..

It took ages to persuade the wife to make an evening of sitting with me to watch "The Seekers"
since I last viewed it 20 odd years ago...

I doubt if we'll ever watch it again..

.. but I'm still going to make her watch John Wayne in "The Sons of Katy Elder" and "The War Wagon"
to get my own back for all her chick flick rom-coms I'm forced to endure..
