Now there's no argument with the claim that Robert Redford is a very good looking man.
Or that he has made a lot of entertaining movies.
But after watching four of his films in a week, I think I'll give him a rest for awhile.
Last night, Judy and I watched "The Company You Keep", his movie about a 1960's radical who's been blamed for being part of a gang that killed a guard while pulling off a bank robbery.
But he's been living his life under an assumed name all these years as a responsible attorney.
The story tells of a young newspaper reporter (Shia LeBeouf) trying to uncover his background and then prove him innocent.
The movie is a cavalcade of cameos.
Along with Redford and LeBeouf, there are short appearances by Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte, Sam Elliott, Chris Cooper, Anna Kendrick, Richard Jenkins and Stanley Tucci.
Longer appearances include Julie Christie and Terrence Howard.
It's great seeing all those old familiar faces but, as I told my friend Mike (who suggested the movie) in an email, while entertaining I felt the film with its feel-good ending was a bit of a fairy tale.
The other Redford movies I watched this past week were "The Electric Horseman" (pretty good), "The Great Waldo Pepper" (not so great), and "Our Souls at Night" (thoughtful).
Now, as much as I like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (I've enjoyed it several times over the years), I think I'll take a Redford break.
