Jack Webb Pete Kelly's Blues Original Full Length Movie Trailer

mlrose529,

Any opinion he may or may not have held of the NRA means even less to me than the inane ramblings of a left-wing ideologue. My opinion of him is unchanged.

And the message coming from Hollywood is always the same: America is the cause of all the world's problems. Only among your ilk is that considered patriotism.

Finally, your characterization of Jack as a "progressive" is laughable and a distortion of the word. He stood for personal responsibility, a concept reviled in Liberalism.

Mamie Van Doren wrote in her autobiography that a date with Jack Webb ended up with her being drugged, tied up, and raped. Go figure.

Jack Webb was a man of rare honor and character. I deeply admire everything he was and did. I wish we had someone of his caliber in Hollywood today. And oh how I'd love to hear what he would have to say to the America-hating jerks that inhabit that cesspool today.

God bless Jack's entire family.

@Solargus

Why are they "America-hating"? Because they disagree with you and your infallible sense of patriotism? Jack Webb happened to be a progressive on many issues, including race and especially, gun control. He despised the NRA, which you'll probably choose to deny or forget. I hope you still 'deeply admire' him, even if he took stances you personally disagreed with.

Sure, this was Jack's favorite movie- it was adapted from his own short-lived NBC radio series [July- September 1951], and he later revived it as a TV series, starring William Reynolds as "Pete" {adapting the radio scripts}, in the spring of '59.

Jack Webb can be quoted as saying..."Pete Kelly's Blues was the best damned picture I ever made!" It was his favorite. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you my fellow Ohioan for posting this. A lighter side of Jack Webb.
