 Coherently sad August 12, 2010
Jacques COULARDEAU (OLLIERGUES France)
That was the Wild West, not so wild though but quite wild yet. A poor kid who was born in that atmosphere of violence, who found himself alone, walking in the wild, carrying his saddle and his gun is recuperated by some rancher taking a small herd to Lincoln. For obtuse reasons that have probably to do with some economic vengeance, the sheriff and three deputies kill the rancher, an old unarmed man, in the morning at the top of the pass leading to Lincoln. The young man, Billy the Kid, reacts in a strange way and will not really change his mind which is not his mind but his habitual way of thinking. He wants justice, hence he is going to stand and challenge the four people. Then the rest is details you can discover them all by yourselves. The film is good because the young "Kid" is shown as being slightly slow in his brains. He is practically adopted by some people in a Mexican city next to Lincoln, but he rapes the girl because he cannot accept things not to go the way he wants them to go. And that will be his doom. The film is also good because it shows how those who had a star, sheriffs or marshalls, could do anything they wanted, more or less, and rather more than less. And they definitely shot before being shot at. Preventive self defense, even when they could not say whether the man had a gun or not. Preventive self defense. The last reason why this film is still worth seeing is because we can really watch a good actor being born. Small touches here and there show the humane side of things, of this "Kid", a flute, or an expression on his face, or his negotiating the lie that he could read though he could not. I will regret though that this slightly mentally slow "Kid" is not kept from beginning to end, but that is how the film is directed. He used his guns or other defensive method as a reflex of self-preservation more than of violence. He was completely absorbed and possessed by the outside world seen as a potential danger, which is total distraction, if not the sign of a deranged mind in a way. But we only get that feeling from time to time, not always. That's a regret of mine.

Paul Newman is awesome July 21, 2010
David (Dallas TX USA)
To be fair, I'm a little biased. I'm a rather big fan of Paul Newman films. None of these movies are really great, nor are they his best performances. However, if you like smart, and interesting films, or simply like the Cool Hand Luke(that title NOT included), then you will most likely enjoy this box set. I did. Good set for any collector. My set was 23.99 so I was very pleased.

These movies were great.Lots of action,and enjoyment.Paul newman as usual is a hunk, and shows his talent in all 7 movies.Pleasure watching all of them.Good buy in my book.The action part of some was equal with today's movies.Quality.
THE DROWNING POOL February 3, 2010
Fantastic Doug (San Antonio, Tx. USA)
Harper is back and he finds himself right in the middle of another murder mystery. OK,so this 1976 sequel is not quite as good as the original but Harper still grabs your interest to the closing credits. Paul Newman is Harper who is a little older and a little wiser. His real wife,Joanne Woodard,is in the film and you can see real attraction in the scenes they do together. Rounding out the cast are Anthony Franciosa,Richard Jaeckel,Gail Strickland,Linda Haynes,and a very young Melanie Griffith. Harper is on the case so make it a movie night and watch THE DROWNING POOL for the water,the girls,the guns,and so much more!
The Young Philadelphians January 27, 2010
Clyde (Weeki Wachee, FL)
DVD was good, no problems with it. Some movies I never heard about, but the Young Philadelphians was very good.
