Riders of the Purple Sage (1996)
Strong woman rebels against religious sect. Gunfighter comes seeking missing sister and niece., Sub-story has 2 young adults from opposite sides meet.
This is a movie that I enjoyed so much that I have watched it every chance I have had since then. The characters are so rich. the love story stayed on my mind for months afterward. It took me awhile to recognize Henry Thomas from "E.T." all grown up, and it made me look out for other stuff with Robin Tunney in them as she was so captivating. The scenery was breath-taking. The ending so intense that I was right there with the couple feeling like I was fighting with all my might for life and love. If anyone else likes this movie, may I suggest Sam Elliott and his wife Katherine Ross in "Conagher" and "The Shadow Riders"? Cowboys don't have to ride off into the sunset just with their horse anymore.
Centennial Summer (1946)
love does not run smoothly for youthful or older couples, but everyone sings beautifully!
This was a favorite of mine when it was shown on TV late shows fairly often back in the 1950's. It is not shown anymore,I believe, because it is no longer politically correct because of a Black singer singing what I think is a beautiful song about the love he feels for his daughter (Cinderella Sue).The last time I did see it many years ago, it had some of the scenes and that song deleted from it. I found this site because I was searching to see if I could find a VHS or DVD copy to buy. Does anyone know of one for sale? It may be considered a sappy movie by some, but I enjoyed the romance and the musical numbers. Plus, the cast was a good one with handsome Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell, and Walter Brennan. Does anyone know what ever happened to actor William Eythe?
