Fools' Parade (1971)
Superb Performances
5 February 2022
The plot may not be the strongest but the entire cast elevates the material. Jimmy Stewart is amazing and wonderful as always. It was a blast to see him doing his own stunts 30 years after his service in World War ii. He actually runs and jumps on a train whatever age he is while filming this fun flick. George Kennedy is absolutely one of the worst bad guys of any seventies film and I say that as a compliment. He is or rather his character is despicable. Kurt Russell is a baby in this movie but it's good to see his potential. It's like watching a great major leaguer while still in the minors. Anne Baxter is stunning and eats the screen. The finale leaves something to be desired but overall a good conclusion and a nice little film to rewatch.
