Saddle up.
Things get heated on the trail, as John Wayne and Montgomery Clift clash in an Old West classic.
The Duke is a rough man, soft edges erased by tragedy, while the younger actor is his adopted son, sole survivor of a massacre.
Midway through a crucial cattle drive, Clift leads what some would see as a mutiny, others as a necessary intervention against a father figure drifting into madness, setting up a fiery confrontation.
One of Wayne’s best films, it made legendary director John Ford blurt out, “I didn’t know the big son of a bitch could act!”
