A gorgeous performance by Jack Palance. He shoulda won an Oscar. Oh wait...he did. And one armed push ups to boot

Curly is really an existentialist, if you think about it. He’s not saying the cowboy life is THE way of life everyone ought to adopt, or that it even works for most people; his point is that the masses often “lead lives in quiet desperation” (Thoreau) without giving much thought to what really matters most to them. Most people want to escape from reality and divert their attention through entertainment and travel, but they often forget that the whole point of their daily life is to truly live it. You could be a cowboy, a politician, a priest, a business man, or in Mitch’s case, a family man. Whatever your “one thing” is, learn to love, protect, and cultivate it to the best of your abilities. And if anybody judges you for it, so what? It’s YOUR choice.

He didn't even know her. It was a moment of attraction. Curly struck me as somebody who never actually tried to make a go at it with anyone. He couldn't even have a close relationship with his brother. Too much of a lone wolf. He said it himself. That story was more tragic than anything else.

@@OneGaurdian Similar line in Citizen Kane, this probably stole it. Mr Bernstein as an old man remembers the most a kind and beautiful girl getting off a ferry when he was young.

You’ll find the older you get the more impact this scene has. When you’re young you’re too eager to try everything to really care but once those grey hairs peak through and those hangovers and injuries start to stick around longer than they used to you begin to think about this stuff a lot more. What really matters most in life? Not just family or having a good job but what really matters deep down on a personal level to you. Who are you beyond a name and what you show to the world? What am I here for? Sadly it’s a series of questions that don’t seem to matter to people anymore. But to the last generation to grow up without smart phones and social media, we were able to ask and some received their answer. Here’s to the 35 and ups who found or are still looking for “the one thing”. To quote the man himself “We’re a dyin breed”.

Palance won the Academy Award for best supporting actor after this movie, he knew it and we knew it that it was a sympathy win, he has been making movie's since the golden age of Hollywood and this was his first and only win, so when excepting the award he went on to say " I've crapped bigger than Billy Crystal " before dropping and doing a series of push ups to say to the Academy 'I'm not dead yet'

I was born early 80's, so this & the OG Batman movie are the only things I've seen Jack Palance in. But I feel a celebrity deep-dive coming on. Also, imo, I used to think Mitch was hilarious. Now, 30+ years later, he's kind of annoying. He's the guy who tries to fill awkward silences with a joke. Like he did in Curly's Gold just before they started following the map.
