What they would have known was the risk of encountering gangs of marauders in Missouri, left over from the Civil War.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-91171284172629019462014-12-05T01:17:50.461-08:002014-12-05T01:17:50.461-08:00Thanks for fixing Red River, Ron.

We'll be in Missouri some day." At the beginning of the cattle drive, the characters couldn't foresee the plot complications, and that they'd end up in a railroad trail head in Kansas. You were sweet to include it.

I was six and we saw High Noon at the drive-in. Later, I had a Tex Ritter LP of movie themes, though I'm not certain how many he was responsible for. Another favorite theme is River of No Return.

I've also discovered a divide based on age. If you play, for example, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, to someone who came of age after the social revolution of the 60s, you will likely get a blank stare.
