"From Noon till Three" - Charles Bronson

I'm not a Charles Bronson fan necessarily, but last night I caught a movie he made with his then wife Jill Ireland. 1976 I think. Never saw or even heard of it before. Delightful movie, it was. I spun through the channels, stopped there a minute and it set its hooks in me. It's basically a western/comedy/??? The characters were certainly different with a couple of unusual turns and twists. It definitely was not the usual Charlie Bronson fare.

Anybody else come across this?

I saw it when it first aired on network television in the late 1970s. It is a very cleaver movie. John1956PA Mar 2018 #1

One line was too ribald for television, and it had to be cut. I would not have known of the line if my brother (who had seen the movie at a drive-in) had not told me of it.

My favorite part of the movie is when breaks into the play and addresses the audience.

Enjoyable!

"I can't get it up" then he went on to say he can't get an erection? Not quite ready for 70's TV.

ThisTV, maybe?

Wait a minute. Upon reading https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181051687#post2, I think I have seen that one before. Within the last year, maybe.
