I liked this a lot. I don’t know what it is about these movies that makes me enjoy them so much; partly, it’s that the exposition isn’t draggy. The movies aren’t short, but they’re spare …

Evidently this movie was a big whoop twenty-odd years ago; it’s good, and everyone in it is very appealing — particularly Robert Duvall, who is much more sympathetic than he’s been in a while — …
