Great Western, good chemistry, 22 January 2000
8/10
Author: smatysia (feldene@comcast.net) from Houston

The chemistry between John Wayne and Kirk Douglas really came through. Howard Keel was very good as an Indian trying to move with the times. Great photography of the scenery around Durango, Mexico. Should be considered a John Wayne classic.
