    Naturally dated due to the stereotypes and Dixit et al, it's good, practically very good, but areas felt unneeded and hence the six not a seven out of ten...then awar it was three stitched together short films, however I think without those extra scenes it would have been tighter.

    It was fun, humorous at times and great action and set pieces. Excellent musicians

    Aside from the usual Fordian Americana, the central message of resistance to prejudice — in terms of race and gender — is very sweet and moving — even as the entire film is drenched in such repugnant racial and gender paternalism. The paradox is Ford, and it’s America. 5 years 8 months ago
