[Spinal]

Nichts!

[Raiders]

Nichts!

The Furies is the only film of his I would really recommend to you, and even then, probably not so much. Not a very Spinal-y director.

The Furies - 7
Winchester '73 - 7
The Naked Spur - 7.5

[Ezee E]

Saw Winchester '73. It has an awesome beginning and end, with an okay middle. Definitely loved the contest at the beginning though, which also makes me wonder why there were so many missed shots at the end, but I'll look past that.

I guess Mann is more under seen than I thought.

I've sadly seen just two of his films. I best get cracking.

The Glenn Miller Story - 5

Wait, he made a movie called 'The Tin Star'? Is that based on the same short story as the scrumtrulescent 'High Noon' starring the even more scrumtrulescent Gary Cooper?
