Other than McQueen being too old for the early scenes, everything else works perfectly.aceblackblog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404695143187261837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-75837499429487872522023-03-29T16:18:36.147-07:002023-03-29T16:18:36.147-07:00“Nevada Smith” was one of my all-time favorite wes...“Nevada Smith” was one of my all-time favorite westerns. Directed by Henry Hathaway. The great Alfred Newman scored the picture. Every time I watch it, the music just gets better and better. I was only 12 when I saw it, but it has stuck with me throughout my adult years. McQueen was too old for the roll, but he still did a wonderful job of acting. My favorite character was Brian Keith, who was always excellent in any part he played. Teaching young Max to play poker, explaining the importance of becoming as bad as the ones he hunted. How right he was. <br />My hope someday is that the movie will be available on Blu-ray. Would love to watch any commentary from whomever is still alive, and worked on the picture. A true, western classic!Duane Kempnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955864147442988746.post-84997569331959643502022-11-08T05:38:27.729-08:002022-11-08T05:38:27.729-08:00Thank you for the comment.

I saw it when it came out in 1966 and thought it great. The scene where Max's parents are tortured caused nightmares in a 9 year old.<br />The ONLY thing wrong with the movie - and something that only struck me years later - is that McQueen was a bit too old to play that role.Barry W.
