I never heard of this film till I found a copy cheap at the pawn shop. I decided to get it on the strong cast it has. And I must say... I am happy I did. I had a lot of laughs watching this one. And there is even a few tear jerker moments in it. The entire cast did a wonderful job. They really made you care about the characters. The film tackles the trials and tribulations of being parents in a fun way. If you have not seen this one... I definitely recommend it. Well worth the time put in to watch it.

Death Rides a Horse, a review by Antares

Death Rides a Horse (1967) 71/100 - Definitely a much better film than Corbucci's Django. Also, another good Ennio Morricone score, that unfortunately is used to overpower certain scenes in the film. But there were moments when his music far outweighs what is happening on screen. Lee Van Cleef carries over his Col. Douglas Mortimer character from For a Few Dollars More, but that's OK. Van Cleef proves that he can carry a picture with his icy demeanor and charisma and every moment he's on screen, the film is engaging. The real misstep in the film has to John Philip Law, who has to be the poster boy for style over substance. He's a cipher on screen, with scarcely a single moment where he doesn't look lost or completely outmatched by Van Cleef. I swear there were times when I felt as if I was watching an Aryan version of Jethro Bodine from the Beverly Hillbillies. In the end, I was glad that I didn't have the same wanton feeling I had watching Django. That feeling that only Leone is worth watching. This is definitely not in the class of a Leone film, but it was entertaining enough that I'd recommend it to anyone who wants something aside from Leone, in the genre.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Director: Tom Cherones
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Andy Lauer (Charlie), Beau Gravitte (Tom Barna), Tom La Grua (Remo), Jessie Jones (Receptionist)

Average episode. Beginning of the unrequited love of Richard.

Writer: Ian Praiser, Carol Gary
Director: Tom Cherones
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Andy Lauer (Charlie), Paul Castree (Chris Duffy), James Callahan (Mayor Paisley), Patrick T. O'Brien (Councilman Hardy), Beth Wishnie (Lindsay), Patricia Gaul (Mrs. Baerwald), Earl Holliman (Fred Duffy), Mariette Hartley (Margaret Duffy)

A good episode. Caroline gets a park in her hometown named after her, but her brother steals her thunder as usual.

Director: James Burrows
Cast: Lea Thompson (Caroline), Eric Lutes (Del), Malcolm Gets (Richard), Amy Pietz (Annie), Andy Lauer (Charlie), Rose Marie (Stella Dawson), Morey Amsterdam (Vic Stansky), Robert Cesario (Mr. Dunn), Beans Morocco (Minister)

The opening titles change with this episode. Sadly they have done away with the little animated comic strips which they did for opening each episode.
Also new is that in this episode Caroline got the new work desk. Which means that finally Richard and Caroline can work at the same time
