What a great final movie for a class act!
Really a good movie about regrets and remembering what's important in life.
Nice show... thank you for all the memories Mr. Borgnine.

Ernest Borgnine plays Rex Page, an old man who is bitter about never becoming famous and having lived a life without any meaning.

Why no reviews???
Deserves to be seen.... If this was an Eastwood film it would be part of life... I love Clint no doubt... I also Love Ernest, Burt Reynolds and they just went away with no one recognising their final efforts... Like The last movie Star /with reynolds/ this is a last in the line for an oldie great Bonifide movie star... At such and old age Borgnaine was still wanting to entertain and full of life until the end... Great film that should be seen by a wider audience.

I loved this film!
It's sweet. It's about real life. Is well acted. The script is great. I had a wonderful time while watching it. Excellent performance of the late Ernest Borgnine! Beautiful music! It's about life, it's simple and profound at the same time, the kind of film that were missed very much in these modern current days... It has a delicate and original humor sense. It's romantic, it's funny, it's sweet, it's sad. It has a very intelligent way to mix the Latin community, its music, its principles, with a real spaghetti wester! An emotional beautiful movie which everyone, for sure, will enjoy watching and remember for a long time afterward...!
