Sick......




...but I caught up with old movies. 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068454/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_5

Set in 1836 the film features massive use of revolvers, 1880s women's clothing, dynamite, and a German (no Germany yet) Machine gun.




While the real "Deaf Smith" was only hard of hearing, Anthony Quinn does a great job as a deaf mute man who is the brains of the pair of he and Franco Nero.


Revolvers had just been developed on the 1830s but 1836 might be too early for authenticity in Texas.

Fun movie with the lovely Pamela Tiffin.

  1. Deaf Smith and Johnny Ears, never heard of it but will have to rectify that, hope you're feeling better?
