      Audience Member 130822: Kind of funny I came across this movie when I did. Just read about Beale and his attempt to utilize camels in the American Southwest (True West). Included in this movie is a character representing "Hi Jolly" aka Hadji Ali. Entertaining film though a bit corny at times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
