Trigger Mike Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 yep, the first time. I try to watch it whenever it is on but it has not been on lately. before they were to young to grasp it
Trigger Mike Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 plus I was just on a grand jury so it strikes more to them I guess.
Pat Riot Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 I thought this was going to be about a women’s Lacrosse team... Pat (what couldn’t help himself) Riot

J-BAR #18287 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Our company used it in management training seminars to analyze different personal interaction dynamics. It never got old.
Yul Lose Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Mrs. Lose had it on this afternoon and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen the end.

I usually miss the first few minutes - (flipping through channels at the top of the hour) HEY! It's on! (looks at clock) Dang, missed the start. Today I caught it from the start.

Lorelei Longshot, SASS #44256 Life Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 J-Bar, The company I worked for also used this movie in a week long management training course. Excellent movie. I think there has been a remake IIRC. Don't know if it is as great as the original.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 They don't make em like that anymore. And they won't. No explosions, loud music or CGI special effects.

Jack Lemmon was Fonda. Tony Danza had the tickets to the game. The lieutenant from Miami Vice was the polite foreign guy ("Why are you so polite all the time?" "For the same reason you are not. It's how I was raised.") Couple or three black guys on the jury this time. Patton was the holdout. I didn't like it as much.

Great lines. 1 hour ago, Utah Bob #35998 said: They don't make em like that anymore. And they won't. No explosions, loud music or CGI special effects. Yep.You could hear all of the dialog! I was trying to watch a movie a few days ago, had to turn the volume way up to hear the words, then quickly turn it way down to keep from being blasted by the music and special effects sounds. Gave up after about 20 minutes
Alpo Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 3 hours ago, Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 said: It never is. The 1948 John Wayne 3 Godfathers was MUCH better than the 1936 Chester Morris 3 Godfathers. The 1931 Maltese Falcon, with Ricardo Cortez, was okay. The 1936 remake (called Satan Met a Lady) with Warren William sucked terribly. The fat man was a fat lady, the jewel-encrusted gold bird was a ram's-horn trumpet full of diamonds, and "Ted Shane" (Sam Spade) was more of a conman than a detective. But the 1941 SECOND remake. The one with Bogey. THAT'S a classic.

However, I highly recommend the first remake being, “Hell’s Heroes”(1929), with a younger Charles Bickford in the John Wayne roll. I won’t say it’s better than the Wayne version but is still worthy to watch.
Alpo Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 That sounds like a good one. I'll need to look for it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell's_Heroes_(film)
