Dir: John Ford Stars: Will Rogers 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die What a strange movie. Will Rogers is very fun as the obviously smartest man in the town, but the entire movie feels like a weird hybrid of a Matlock and a Seinfeld episode. Aging man who is head-and-shoulders above everyone else, surrounded by absurd, over-the-top supporting characters that don't even begin to resemble real people. Note to filmmakers, don't have your climax be about recounting a story that is MUCH more interesting than the movie you made. That definitely happens here. C+ |
