Another great movie. I would have given anything to have grown up with two eccentric uncles in that environment. Another fine job from Caine and Duvall. I'll definitely be on the lookout for it once again, thanks for the reminder!

She was a real lion, wasn't she? There at the end. A real jungle lion. A real Africa lion.

A very good movie, yet quite unknown and unappreciated. One of my all time favorites.

Good flick!

Just caught it again. I had forgotten about the ending scene with the chopper flying in and in a discussion pointing out the yacht siting in their pond. I bet that salesman was a fast-talker

A very well mad and touching movie. We just watched it here recently. They really lived.

Let’s see what he’s selling and then we’ll shoot him.
Woman relative: “I don’t want my children around all these guns.” Hub: “Then leave!”
Decided to sit and watch all the way through finally.

I don't have a connection with actors/actresses at all, and I know nothing of the man personally, but when Robert Duvall passes away I will genuinely be sad.
10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

Duval is great in that movie... especially when he teaches the young punks a lesson.
I ended up having to buy it from Amazon Prime so I could watch it again.
Another part of the movie I really enjoy is the closing illustrations done by Berkeley Breathed.... and if you notice the dogs in the movie look just like something from his Bloom County Comics.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Blume9mm,

One of my all time Duval favorites. His role in Open Range is another one. I've watched both many times.
