Memorable, crazy movie

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

My name is Oscar A. Zelaya, I live in California USA I'm 37 year old father of 2 boys one 14 years old and a new borne. I lived in El Salvador until the age of 18. My childhood was very hard and lonely. At the edge of 4 years old for one whole year I watched the TV program Four Feather Falls this brought me allot of happiness and comfort in my little 4 years old heart. Tex Tucker became my imaginative father and I felt that he was going to keep away from all harm and that the characters Ma Jones and Grandpa Twink were my grand parents since I did not have any. All these memories I had them blocked in my sub-conscience until few weeks ago, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I jumped into the Internet to see what that I could find, I was able to find different web-sites with still photos and the program's music, but I was not able to find any of these episodes on DVD or VHS. I would appreciate if anyone could help me find copies of this program, I want to share these experiences with my sons, specially the little one, I want to show them why this TV program is so special in my life. SincerelyOscar A. Zelaya

"Four Feather Falls" has slipped into relative obscurity over the years for a number of reasons - its age (42 as of this minute), its length (only 15 minutes per episode), it's in black and white, and the fact that it pales in comparison with its successor, "Supercar". However, "Four Feather Falls", or for the sake of abbreviation FFF, was a wonderful little program. It may seem a little dated now, but then, so do other Gerry Anderson classics such as "Thunderbirds" or "Stingray". The program is not something that perhaps a whole bunch of teens or adults will enjoy, but if you have kids (or are kids at heart, as I am), they/you will love this show. It presents a lot of great qualities that would continue to show up and are the reason for "Thunderbirds"'s unimaginable success.Now for a quick synopsis: the show takes place "way back when" (ie the 1870's or thereabouts) in a town in Kansas called Four Feather Falls. The town is named after the four magical feathers owned by the sheriff, Tex Tucker, who embodies everything a hero should be. Gerry Anderson heros became progressively more realistic but as he was the first, his qualities were the most stereotypically heroic. However, that does not detract from the show overall - it fits the format admirably. Two of the feathers allowed his dog and horse to speak and the other two allowed his guns to fire without him even touching them. Then there were the usual band of townsfolk, Indians, and Mexican bandits. Maybe a little stereotypical, but good-natured and hardly racist.Enjoy this show for the classic that it is, if you can find it. It's difficult to find but if you are prepared to really search you may find it somewhere. I found it and believe me, I'm over the moon that I did.
