'The Good Times Are Coming sung by Mama Cass Elliott. from Monte Walsh

[sonicfish73]

brilliant tune by my favourite female singer

One of the best westerns ever. This movie town east of Tucson was built for MONTE WALSH by William Fraker.

It's been used in a lot of westerns including Tombstone, Young Guns, Quick & the Dead...

[SkinheadCharlie]

@WildBills44 I wonder if Fraker felt any deja vu coming back to a town he essentially built almost a quarter of a century later to shoot Tombstone.

I also wonder if when he was shooting Paint Your Wagon, he thought "I'll show people how to make a serious western and show what Lee Marvin can really do with some direction."

[WildBills44]

@SkinheadCharlie , I don't know. I did go up to Wm Fraker on the Mescal set for Tombstone, shook hands and told him Monte Walsh was my favorite movie, that I really liked it. He was very gracious and thanked me, said it was his too. It was just a few seconds to meet him when he wasn't busy or me either.

A great song, by a wonderful lady and a great movie by Lee Marvin.

[WhoDoYouWant]

This movie more than any other captures the indifferent, ignoble end to a very brief period in world history - the time of the western plains and the cowboy - but a time that will be remembered for millennia as America's Age of Legends and Myths.

A sad, sad movie for me because it was also in a sense the beginning of the end of the Golden Age of the Western Movie itself. Beautifully poignant. A favourite.

Monte Walsh will finally make it's dvd debut this month.

Song is sung by the wonderful Cass Elliot!

[havisham3]

Selleck is a decent actor ,but this role belongs to Marvin ,with sterling support from Palance and Moreau

[muncher64]

Does anyone have the FAST VERSION of this song by Mama Cass? It's the version that was played during the credits, not this slow version?

[tsunamiwater]

@muncher64 I like the slow version

[watcherofolde]

My brother just died and we are playing this at his funeral.

[muncher64]

I just saw your post. I'm sorry for your loss. I commend you on your choice of of music for such a sad occasion.

"I rode down the gray." Of course, Monte was the real gray. Brilliant work of art.

[JohnnyTolley]

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. I do so wish they'd release it on DVD. Thanks for posting it.

Yea, the Tom Selleck version of Monte Walsh was a joke compared to the Lee Marvin original. I also wish they'd put it DVD. Bart
