Is there different versions of this film? June 9, 2010
Jessir R. Johnston (BANDON, OR, US)
I ordered this for my father-for fathers day. However he remembers watching it when he was in his 20's and say's there is a missing part at the end where they spend all season breaking horses again and then going back and buy a hor-house. He was dissappointed, but it was still a good movie and I have no idea whether there is a different version, or longer version out there. I ordered the DVD, perhaps the VHS is longer? I don't know, but the one I have is 84-85 minutes long. I was wondering if any of you older folks might know of this part my father is speaking of.
Review Of 'The Rounders' - Starring Glenn Ford & Henry Fonda April 28, 2010
Paul N. Nix (Garland, Texas United States)
Finally .... 'The Rounders', starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda, is out on DVD.
This is a gentle, funny, movie. The plot is simple and the characters endearing.
Two middle-aged cowboys who, either by intent or accident, seem locked into a life outdoors of hard work and not much money. The scenery is beautiful and their pickup is ancient.
When I was a kid growing up in central Texas there was a popular cartoonist, Ace Reid (in Kerrville), who drew 'Cow Pokes'. It was about some lean ranch people living on the edge of subsistence. A lot of banks would feature 'Cow Pokes' on their give-away calendars each year. 'The Rounders' portrays a lifestyle very similar to 'Cow Pokes' with much the same humor based on people eking out a living from a dry land.

The Rounders on DVD at last........ April 3, 2010
Jerry Alexander (SNEADS, FLORIDA, US)
I first saw this movie when it was released to the big screen several years ago. The
cast of Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Chill Wills, Sue Anne Langdon, Hope Holiday, and that ole Roan, were hilarious then, and they still are. I was soooo glad someone decided to
put it on DVD. I have watched it a couple of times since it arrived, and I still enjoy it......probably more so now, because Ford, Fonda, Wills, and that ole Roan, are no longer with us........in fact, I think I will watch it again, right now.
good old movie! March 20, 2010
movie lover
This is definately the type of movie that is no longer made. Fun western, and fun interaction between the 2 stars. The most violence was the horse kicking out the door of the barn! A fun watch!
 Delightful modern comedy Western February 9, 2008
F. J. Harvey (Birmingham England)
This amiable modern Western benefits enormously from the casting of the great genre veterans Henry Fonda and Glenn Ford as two veteran cowboys ,forever on the verge of abandoning their nomadic lifestyle and settling down ,but never quite making it.The movie revolves around their attempts to tame an especially recalitrant bronco named Ol Fooler-who it is suggested is a little like the two men in being stubborn ,hard to tame and determined to go his own way but likeable and who eventually will be coerced back into the mainstream
There is not a tightly constructed plot as such ,more a series of incidents heavy on the humour which -be aware ,is often slightly risque (there is a shot of bare bottoms for example which may bother the more prudish ).
Ford and Fonda are wonderful as you might expect from two actors who always looked at home in the saddle and they bring authority and unforced pathos to the roles .Sue Ann Langdon and Hope Holliday as the two women who waylay them along the road ,are equally fine and Burt Kennedy directs with assurance and a relaxed authority .The photography is warm and mellow -just like the rest of this always funny ,often tender and frequently hilarious gem of a movie
