Almost sacrilege admitting that you've waited this long to watch a Selleck Western...
but you are forgiven.

The original Monte Walsh from back in the 70's starred Lee Marvin & Jack Palance. It's available on Ebay and is certainly worth watching. Slightly different than the Selleck version and with a better bucking horse scene, but both versions are excellent and should be in the movie library of any western movie fan. I also bought the book, which tells the story of Monte Walsh from cradle to grave. All good stuff!

To sit on the porch eating peaches & brandy... and finding a neighbor kid 25¢ to paint the other neighbor's door red!

I cant resist. Here is a private photo I have of Tom. The big guy on the left is his brother bob. They owned the building in Lancaster California all are in. At the time it was a Micheals Big and Tall store. The owner and his wife are also in the picture. Cut off of the picture (A later GF or wife of mine cut it off) was a GF of mine who managed the store. Strickly by a almost impossible coincidence her name was also Martine, the same name as Toms girlfriend in the movie. For a long time I had guessed he named the charactor in the movie Martine, after Martine but I later found that the name was also in the older movie. Martine died at home with me of cancer back in Christmas of 1998. She claimed to be a friend of the Sellicks. She also was a English war orphan who`s father was killed flying a spitfire and her mother killed by a bomb in the Battle of Brittian.

My wife has grown to like him and many of the roles he plays... but... she used to say, "...if Tom Selleck ever grows up, he might be like Sam Elliot."

I suppose the Sellick brothers might still own the building? They owned a lot of real estate in Antelope Valley back then. From what Martine told me, Tom`s brother Bob handled the real estate they owned. Tom`s Dad was there too and took the picture Martine said. I had seen him a time or two but never bothered him by introducing myself. Martine had some outfit he had given her. The brothers tried to hire her to manage a few propertys of theirs. She had talked up and rented another store in the mall for them. Mike had a chain of those stores in California. Have any of you seen the movie "Mask"? Sam Elliot played her boy friend in it. I also seen him in some earlier stuff and he was a lot different type. He got or invented his "personna" later and stuck with it.
