    Walter Brennan

    "Old Rivers" Walter Brennan for the most part added a lot of character to the movies and series he played in.

    He was great in everything he was in. One of my favorites was Rio Bravo with John Wayne.
    When Leonidas was preparing to make his stand, a Persian envoy arrived. The envoy explained to Leonidas the futility of trying to resist the advance of the huge Persian army and demanded that the Spartans lay down their arms. Leonidas told Xerxes "MOLON LABE", or "Come And Get Them."

    Here is a clip from Rio Bravo, "My Rifle, Pony, and Me". Walter plays the harmonica.

    Re: Walter Brennan

    This goes back several decades. But does anyone remember the western series,
    "The Guns of Will Sonnet"? That was a very good tv show, with Walter Brennan,
    Jason Evers, who played his son, & Dak Rambo, who was the grandson.

    Re: Walter Brennan

    I watched the reruns of The Guns Of Will Sonnet. He added a lot to Rio Bravo.
    Pretty much anything he was in was good, even My Darling Clementine. I also believe he was in a TV series back in the day called The Real McCoys.

    You believe correctly.

    It was one of my favorite shows.

    Just in case anybody is interested and has XM, on Sunday's at noon EST on channel 13 (Willies Place) there is a show called "Ranger Doug's Cowboy Corral". It's all cowboy music from the 40's 50's and 60's. They play "Old Rivers" on there pretty regular plus a lot of other stuff like Sons of the Pioneers, Riders Of The Purple Sage, Marty Robbins etc. FYI Ranger Doug and his co-host are both in "Riders In The Sky". If u never heard of them look them up on youtube, they're killer if u like that kind of music.

    I`m sorry, I should have mentioned that it was probably about 25 years ago or so. But, it was on a cable channel back then. Can`t remember exactly which one. I would love to see someone bring it and The Real McCoys out of mothballs though.
