| VHS Tape Description Burt Kennedy wrote several of the finest Westerns ever for director Budd Boetticher in the late '50s--marvels of austere, subtle storytelling. Yet on his own, writer-director Kennedy tended to very broad comedy-Westerns. The Rounders, based on a novel by Max Evans, falls somewhere between Support Your Local Sheriff (high) and Dirty Dingus Magee (low). Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda play two bronc busters in the pickup-driving West who, by their own admission, "ain't exactly the smartest cowboys that ever lived." Somehow they always end up owing rancher Jim Ed Love (Chill Wills) one more year of indentured servitude. The year we observe is dominated by a purely diabolical roan and capped by a randy brush with two showgirls (Sue Ane Langdon and Hope Holiday) who play "Dumber" to Ford and Fonda's "Dumb." It's all very amiable and unassuming, but the toot-plunk-whistle-boom soundtrack--to signal "This is the funny part"--is sheer torture. --Richard T. Jameson |

Is this studio snoring? Glenn Ford was one of our Western greats yet many of his greatest movies are unavailable on DVD. What gives???? When does this one come out on DVD? And while we're at it where's "The Fastest Gun Alive" on DVD, or where period is "The Sheepman"? Some Executives must be rollin' in the dough because they absolutely seem to refuse to make another buck.
So where's the DVD? This great comedy is about two modern-day hard-luck cowboys who are always getting into a bind, and when they do, their boss is always there to bail them out of their trouble ... and into his debt (hence the name "Rounders"). As a result, they always owe him money, and to pay him back, they have to do the jobs no one else will. Paticularly funny are the scenes with the two air-head women they encounter toward the end. A great movie!
SO WHERE IS THE DVD ???
