    “The Rounders” is a 1965 American modern Western film set In Sedona. It stars Henry Fonda and Glenn Ford as two aging cowpokes who bust broncos, charm local ladies and bet on outcomes at the rodeo. One of the best color films for Sedona scenery, this is also a fun romp featuring Sedona places and events. For this film, the town hosted a parade on Main Street, a rodeo, and a risqué visit to the local fish hatchery. Fun to watch and reviewed as some of the best color photography in film to that date. Engaging in many ways.

    “The Rounders” film summary:

    Sedona Gift Shop

    Ben Jones (Glenn Ford) and Marion ‘Howdy’ Lewis (Henry Fonda) are two easygoing, modern-day cowboys who make a meager living breaking wild horses. Their frequent employer is Jim Ed Love (Chill Wills), a shrewd businessman who gets the better of them when he talks them into taking a roan horse in lieu of some of their wages. Finding that the horse is un-rideable, the two cowboys come up with the bright idea of taking it to a rodeo and betting other cowhands they cannot ride it, thereby doubling their earnings. Along the way, they hook up with two strippers, (Sue Ann Langdon and Hope Holiday) for some skinny dipping fun and try to dodge some local gals looking for husbands.

    This event is a fund-raiser for the Sedona Historical Society’s historic Schuerman Homestead House.

    Join us for an afternoon of good ol’ Western fun and celebrate the National Day of the Cowboy.

    “The Rounders” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Saturday, July 27 at 4 p.m. with special activities starting at 3 p.m. in the theatre courtyard.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information and to order tickets online, visit www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
