Yes it was great! Sometimes makes me feel like i should balance it out with some less good stuff, for some reason.
I’ve been working through Budd Boetticher’s stuff recently moving towards A Time For Dying, did you enjoy it? Trying to do some Audie Murphy homework too before then.
i thought it was very good. audie was broke and formed a production company with bud but sadly this was their only release. then audie died in a plane crash
