🤠 Tom Selleck in Quigley Down Under Review

Western and Kinda Polite Kinda ironic movie Good old Tom Selleck. Who can't like him? My dad just loved this movie. The Man from the Snowy River was another film he liked. As a kid, I used to stay up late on Saturdays and watch a movie with my dad. I miss those times. Show the film to your son or daughter. the best things.
