Between the credits and the stampede, there isn't anything particularly thrilling, although the banter between Chisum and Pepper is pleasurable.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-5773854269065217432011-02-23T21:12:32.697-05:002011-02-23T21:12:32.697-05:00The opening credits sequence is a very memorable p...The opening credits sequence is a very memorable part of this film, and you describe it well. As for the rest of the film - you mention the memorable stampede and the silly and, yes, very overlong fistfight. That's about it. This is not one of my favorites, and I find much of the action to be TV quality, as opposed to the better last films of John Wayne: <i>The Cowboys</i>, <i>True Grit</i>, and <i>The Shootist</i>.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-88379302851391057732011-02-22T16:58:09.347-05:002011-02-22T16:58:09.347-05:00Sorry for the delayed reply.

I need to put that on the list.<br /><br />It was fun to revisit <em>Chisum</em> and <em>The Cowboys</em>, which I also just reviewed.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163321594858726822.post-25439332464542766442011-02-20T19:04:58.094-05:002011-02-20T19:04:58.094-05:00Wonderful piece.
