Adults Quote by Keith Carradine
![“So we went off and made this movie ["Jim Younger"], and I've gotta tell ya, it's as much fun as I've ever had making a movie. It was kind of like adult summer camp. We put on this Western gear, strapped on our six-shooters, and went out and played cowboy all day! It wasn't an easy shoot.” quote by Keith Carradine](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/54d/keith-carradine-15039_adults_so-we-went-off-and-made-this-movie-jim-y_318276.jpg)
