Not to mention Chuck Connors as the cowardly son. I agree that this is one of the best westerns made despite the lack of action required in today’s films - more of a thinking man’s western with a good plot and excellent actors.
Indeed. Connors is quite good in a very non-Lucas McCain type cowboy role. Forgot to mention, TBC was supposedly President Eisenhower’s favorite movie as well. He screened it in the White House 4 nights in a row.
