"The Rounders" (1964 version)

My husband and I are often saying "Whatever suits you just tickles me plumb to death."  That line comes from this movie, "The Rounders."  Since it came out in 1964 and my husband was in the Navy at the time, I'm not sure we saw it then but we did see it and that line has stuck with us.

Recently, we decided it was time to view "The Rounders" again so checked out a copy from our local library.  It stars Glen Ford as Ben Jones and Henry Fonda as Howdy Lewis - a couple of modern day cowboys who arrive at their job (working at a ranch owned by a guy named Love) in a pick up truck.  They're bronc riders hired initially to tame wild horses but they've met their match in "Old Fooler."  He's a roan that sometimes calmly walks around with a rider on his back then decides to buck him off.  This movie is pure entertainment so if you're looking for something relaxing to watch, I'd recommend it.  pazt
