Customer Reviews

A real western with a little fun tossed in.

This is John Wayne. You can spot the formula and most of his supporting actors in other John Wayne movies. O.K., you can also see that it is a Howard Hawks movie. It has that Howard Hawks feel. Dean Martin plays himself as Dude. And Ricky Nelson as Colorado Ryan fits in this movie. Do I hear a song coming on? The story is of good guys holding the Daddy in jail. All his compadres want him out. It is up to the town characters to prevent this from happening. How this is done or not done is the movie. There may be something going on between Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and Feathers (Angie Dickinson). The only thing this movie needed to be perfect was black and white hats.
