HIGH ROAD TO CHINA(1983)


The Oxen is slow, but the ground is patient!!

Though I really didn't need to watch this again, I did any
way! The reason: This is one of the best movies ever made!!
Tom is perfect in this and gives us a glance at what could
have been if he'd been in the Indiana Jones movies! One great
romp of a movie! And having Wilfred Brimley, Jack Weston &
Robert Morley in it just adds to the pleasure!!! And the
score by John Barry is excellent!!! A+++

From IMDb.com:

Tom Selleck was the first choice to play Indiana Jones but
"Magnum P.I." prevented his participation. "High Road" gives
us a peak at what might have been (minus Speilberg's direction
and Lucas' story). In comparison to the blockbuster trilogy
it plays more like the TV movie-of-the-week version, but
not bad if taken on it's own merits. Fun adventure for anyone
who enjoys old adventure films (which was the point of the
Indy series). Bess Armstrong was in her cute-as-can-be
era. - SanDiego
