Plot: In one of John Wayne's more interesting late Westerns, The Duke plays Will Anderson, a crusty veteran cattleman preparing a 400-mile drive to get a herd of steers to market. Shortly before the trip is scheduled to begin, Will's crew quits when they get word of a nearby gold strike. With little time and few alternatives, Will recruits eleven boys, ages nine through 13, and teaches them the basics of herding cattle and riding the range. Bruce Dern plays a memorably foul villain and cattle rustler named Long Hair, while Roscoe Lee Browne portrays Jebediah, the cattle drive cook, and Colleen Dewhurst is Kate, a madam. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

One of John Wayne's better movies in the twilight of his career along with the "Shootist". I enjoyed this flick when it first came out and it stands the test of time and continues to be a quality film.

This was one of the movies I watched with my dad over and over. I was so happy to find it on Amazon. The movie arrived very promptly, much sooner than I had expected. Movie arrived in perfect condition. I will not hesitate to purchase from Amazon or any Amazon seller. It's always a positive experience!

Not as family friendly as suggested!

We are glad we didn't purchase this movie. We were taken back by all the cursing and swearing in the movie from early seventies! If you are offended by language, then do not purchase unless you have a program to take out all the profanity. The story line was great and the language did not add to it.
