Backin the day when they didn't need to swear or have sex to make a good movie.

Just good ol' guns and violence.

For sure- Burl Ives (old man Hennessy) got a little rambunctious, when he stormed the party. I think the word "Hell" was used. At the end he spat in Buck's face just before he shot him.

Rio Bravo with John Wayne was excellent, although I thought Walter Brennan as Stumpy was the best actor.

Lake George NY and the Adirondacks is a popular vacation site for people in the North East (America) and Canadians which is where the film is based. Fort William Henry.

Another good film and yeah Wayne wasn`t the best after he started the binge drinking.

Shawshank Redemption was very good, another good one was "Murphy's Romance" with James Garner and Sally Field.

I watched "Harvey" again fairly recently, good entertainment and clean humour and I don't believe there was a single "F" word.

An American movie that never got the acclaim it should have was: "Teahouse of the August Moon"
Probably Brando's best part.
