Well, I see that the movie is on DVD now. (The Golden Boys) I picked up a used copy off amazon for 3 bucks + shipping and watched it with the wife the other night.
It was OK. The actors were good and I really like the nautical dialog...How are you?..."awe we are hove-to here trying to determine our bearings"... as they hide in the shanty. The story seemed a little hokey and choppy to me. After the movie was over I picked up my nautical terms book and looked up a few phrases.
I think they put it out as a sort of an epitaph for David Carradine who was one of the main characters and recently died. Under special features they had a very long winded interview with him along with other clips (it was almost as long as the movie itself) and there was an "in memory" mention at the end.
My wife liked it but was not crazy about it. I think if you are interested in the cape and a cute/funny story about 3 old captains living together with a good looking women you might like it. I would rec it to be seen with your significant other .
I remember a few years back they came here for 2 days to recurite a few background characters for the movie. Ever since then I have been keeping my eyes open. Well, case closed.
