William Holden (2) - Man From Colorado


I liked this movie.  William Holden is a very flexible actor.  In the last movie, he played a "starving" Hollywood writer. In this movie, he plays a Federal Marshall after the Civil War.  I wasn't sure this movie was going to hold me captivated enough for my treadmill workout, but in the end it did.  This movie is pretty violent with hangings and shootings, but since it's an old show, it is not too graphic.  I think my husband and boys would like this movie too.

Have a great day!

William Holden (1) - Sunset Boulevard


I finally did it!  I watched this movie starring William Holden.  I've tried several times to watch this movie, but it just wasn't exciting enough to keep me entertained on the treadmill.  I was able to watch this movie for 28 minutes while walking on the treadmill the other morning, but I couldn't make it any longer.  So, I decided to watch another dvd, but went back to this movie later in the day while I worked on my kid's scrapbooks.  

I want to say, I'm glad I watched this movie, but it is definitely not an exciting movie.  It was fine for watching while I was working on a project.

I would consider it high drama, as far as Gloria Swanson is concerned.  She was an aging, wealthy actress from the times of silent movies.  She "kind of" holds William Holden captive, first to help her write a screen play and then as a companion.  You'll have to watch it to see what I mean by high drama, but have a project ready to work on while you watch it

Enjoy!
