I haven’t seen “1923” with Harrison Ford and Dame Helen Mirren yet. However, if “Yellowstone” is any indication, I suspect that appearing in “1923” is strictly a “money movie” for the venerable Dame Hellen and “Indiana” Jones.
“Yellowstone” is sort of like a contemporary version of the renowned and beloved “Bonanza,” but without the
redeeming
characters. While Ben Cartwright was a sage and honorable man, John Dutton is an arrogant and callous individual. And, what can I say about John Dutton’s “lovely” daughter, Beth? She’s a particularly nasty and dipsomaniacal person, who makes DS’s own Judith Collins-Trask seem like Mother Theresa by comparison.
As to Beth’s “beloved” husband Rip Wheeler, he’s sort of new millennial, Neanderthal version of DS’s Adam.
I’ll wait to comment on “1923” until I get a chance to see several episodes. I do hope that it’s much better than “Yellowstone,” a tv show that’s as kitschy as “Baywatch” and “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
Beam me up, Buffie Harrington!
