Viewing Notes

Guess I wasn’t the only one watching George Kennedy tonight… but my selection was Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) where he enlists the likes of Monte Markham, Joe Don Baker and James Whitmore to save the day. Too bad this iteration isn’t quite up to its predecessors but still good watch.
