1965: Charlton Heston and a big cast in "Major Dundee"

The Western retro channel was showing "Major Dundee" with Charlton Heston this week.    

It was released in 1965 and includes quite a cast:   Richard Harris (Capt. Tyreen), Jim Hutton (Lt. Graham), James Coburn (Samuel Potts), and Senta Berger (Teresa Santiago).   

"Major Dundee" is the story of an officer punished by being sent to command a Texas prison camp.  The story is often a bit slow but it makes sense at the end.   

Please watch the film but you may have to view it a few times to understand what the whole thing is about.

P.S.  You can listen to my show (Canto Talk).  If you like our posts, click send, and drop a dime here.
