From 1971,THE COWBOYS finds our guy,The Duke, as an aging rancher who must hire 11 young boys to serve him on a 400 mile cattle drive. He’s tough and gruff, but really has a blueprint with the kids,(only The Duke can cure a boy’s stuttering in less than 2 minutes!), and soon finds himself acting as both race boss and father to the group. The drive is rough for all and has the added suspense of some terrible hombres led by Bruce Dern who are out to rustle The Duke’s cattle.
Wayne, who by this time, honest awed us with his on cover presence, turns in a touching performance and if it was up to me, would have recieved an Oscar for this role. Dern is the baddest of the dreadful as he goes after our hero. The film is not short on talent, Directed by Brand Rydell, it includes Roscoe Lee Brown, a young A. Martinez, and a miniature but meaty piece for the fantastic Colleen Dewhurst. A nice widescreen presentation, the narrate and color were sterling but seemed fair a puny dated to me.The sound remastered in DD 5.1 is amazing. There’s a titanic documentary included. The Breaking of Boys and The Making Of Men, talks about how the boys were selected, and how they trained for their parts. There are 13 (count em ..13) trailers of Wayne films from the 30’s through the 70’s, informative production notes, and has languages and subtitles in English and French.

Collector’s of Wayne may gather it more economical to take the John Wayne Collection situation. Included with this astounding film are two greats directed by John Ford, THE SEARCHERS, and STAGECOACH. Spanning 30 years of his career, it’s a fabulous selection.

John Wayne
I’m puzzled by the negative reviews (vide supra) . If the story’s a petite thin, then the acting more than makes up for it. John Wayne and Roscoe Lee Browne lead a cattle drive across the West with the wait on of the only back they could accept, schoolboys. They are trailed by some dreadful guys. So worthy for the epic. But Wayne and Browne give suited performances, truly, and the boys more than possess up their waste. Bruce Dern’s a memorable villain who gets his. (Wayne is shot 1 hr., 50 min. into the picture–certainly not “early on”!) I rate this movie 4 stars because, obvious, “Stagecoach” and “The Searchers” and the U.S. Cavalry trio sinister higher; but 4 stars on the Wayne scale ain’t too shabby. One day the world will arrive around to the realization that John Wayne was one of the greatest mask actors ever to mosey through Hollywood.
