Plot: A very offbeat subject gives this Western its beefy flavor: English lady Maureen O'Hara brings a prize Hereford bull to the Wild West, where she plans to introduce its hardy bloodline into longhorn c...( read more read more... )ountry. Cattle puncher James Stewart finds the idea suspect, but he likes this redhead, so he manages to tag along through stampede, gunfight, and blizzard. Director Andrew V. McLaglen generally steers a pleasing course, although the movie occasionally stumbles between brawling comedy and western drama. One stunt sequence, a run of longhorns through a desert canyon, qualifies as a hair-raiser. Brian Keith, wearing a gigantic red beard, does a Scots accent as a cattle baron, and veteran cowhands Ben Johnson and Jack Elam are around to lend atmosphere. The big bull's name is Vindicator, and he obeys whenever Juliet Mills whistles "God Save the Queen"--did we mention this is a very offbeat subject for a Western? --Robert Horton

    O'Hara was great. Stewart was Stewart (which is great). Keith looked funny in a read beard which looked so fake. Still, a fun movie.

    Not one of McLaglen's best, but good performances, nice story, and Maureen O'Hara is as sexy as ever!

    Love this movie. Jimmy stewart and Maureen O'Hara are great together. Throw in Brian Keith as a surly redbearded man and this is a permanent mark in the collection.

    Very interesting (and unique) Western. Well made and moderately compelling, and Stewart is superb. A little too off-beat at times, but undeniably interesting.

    Headstrong widow Martha Price (Maureen O'Hara) transports her daughter and a prize stud bull from England to Texas with the intention of cashing in on the bull. A downtrodden drifter, Sam Burnett (Jimmy Stewart), helps Martha on her journey and is tempted to scam her out of the bull. But in a moment of conscience (and budding attraction), Burnett clears a safe passage for Martha, daughter and their prize. Directed by Andrew McLaglen. If you're looking for a violent western, this isn't it. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a good, old-fashioned story, this one fits the bill.
