Well, I finally got around to finish watching my DVD of Hathaways shoot-out. Ok, well another True Grit it ain't. In fact I've come to feel True Grit was something of a fluke after seeing this, how could the same talent (writer, director, producer) go from THAT to THIS? This could very well have been just another so-so episode of Gunsmoke of the early 70's. I don't care how much Greg Peck tries, that guy just CANNOT be intimidating. They should have had him muttering lines like "I'll fu*%ing kill you putrid fish-eatin' son of a Bi*%"! That would have at least been 'real' cussing not just an occasional "damnit". And they should have teamed him up with Jimmy Stewart--also trying to be psycho. Stewart: "yea--n-now you just do what my partner says, or I'll fu*&ing kill you!!" All in all I'd have to say I found Shoot Out rather amsuing though, that counts for something
