Absolutely brilliant. Magnificent cinematography, incredible performances by a cast of masters, and very well directed by Howard Hawks.
Outside the love interest. What a great western! Completely enjoyable before revisionist westerns changed stuff up.
If you've seen lonesome dove, it's similar to this. Just a bit shorter drive, but all the thrills, chills and mutiny
one of the best westerns, and i ain’t talkin’ hotels.
Quite an astonishing western… that is derailed when the love interest shows up. Still there’s been a whole load of great stuff before that.
A great western that I would love to see in Color. A different side of John Wayne that I enjoyed.
Great cinematography and a great performance by John Wayne propel this western
Interesting to see Wayne play the heavy. His collabs with Hawkes were some of his best films. The confrontation with Clift at the end rocks!
There's a lot to love about it, but it's let down by slow pacing and a rushed ending.
I don’t like westerns so I only watched it for Montgomery Clift’s acting
