It remains so vivid I can play it over in my head. The bridge scene where dozens of men on horseback fall into the river is something that could never be done again in our enlightened days. And the scene where the Wild Bunch's dad, Tom Bosley, wins back the money from the card sharks. Great stuff.arnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-27359537338148608972012-07-09T14:32:48.436+10:002012-07-09T14:32:48.436+10:00It's going to be a real trial, Bunyip.
