This movie, being "old", is going to get five votes and two watchers but regardless, I just watched it and liked it a lot. Charlton Heston and Thomas Mitchell (the Morgan character) are fantastic as frenemies, and the story plugs along really well. It's good to finally see what Lucas' inspiration for the Indiana Jones movies was. It couldn't be clearer now.
