Walter Brennan: Quite A Unique Actor
Time to write about moviedom. This blog is about a very clever actor by the name of Walter Brennan. When I was a young guy I saw Walter Brennan in many films...westerns, mysteries...all kinds of stuff. He had a wily way about him and he brought many dimensions of creativity to his character roles. A sleek and powerful man, this guy was. He could take on all kinds of roles...cowhands, military officers and sly businessmen. In so many ways, Brennan was a lot of fun to watch. A very strong acting job was created by Walter Brennan when he worked in 1946 as the rather tough old guy Clanton in the interesting multi-layered film, 'My Darling Clementine.' John Ford did a fine job on that project. John Ford Westerns were unique because of their intense style. Also, I had a lot of fun watching Walter Brennan in the amusing show, 'The Real McCoys' which achieved nice success in the merry '50s. Brennan passed away in 1974 because of emphysema. He was quite an interesting soul in the world of the actors.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
