My Name is Nobody  Image

Some nice mail this week. Several writers took the trouble to see Major Dundee on the screen, and none of them expressed disappointment. Another reader informed me that The Purple Plain was shot in Sri Lanka, then Ceylon, and that Gregory Peck may have gone overseas to make films to take advantage of a tax deal. Everyone seems to be thrilled by the Errol Flynn boxed set, and I've worked hard to prep tonight's review of the even bigger Doris Day box, for all of you fans of freckles and giant wholesome smiles.

NoShame also checks in with an impressive reconstruction of Boccaccio '70, and I finally got to see the "odd western out" Sergio Leone film My Name is Nobody which I think will please fans, especially Ennio Morricone fans. Back to editing work, see you next Tuesday! Glenn Erickson
