With John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan onscreen and Howard Hawks directing it, you'd expect something a bit more memorable than this. Nevertheless, it's a very joyous picture for a rainy afternoon.

Loved the humorous banter between Wayne and Mitchum and Wayne and Caan. It made for a lighter yet still rugged Western. Besides, who says cowboys don't have a sense of humor?

Great characters and story. When I hear the 'critics' talk about how this isn't one of the best westerns or isn't the best Hawks film I think...so what? Only a few films manage to be as entertaining and make you wish there was a sequel because you have loved spending time within its world. Wonderful. I have to watch it regularly.
