Wild Boys of the Road!
I'm so glad you're digging the Wellman retrospective. I know I had nothing to do with it but I'm just as pleased as if I did. I'm afraid that even after it's all ver and done with on TCM William Wellman will still be an under-rated great. Did you see The Letter?- jake_fink

Why no Bids?
