Not high drama or deep, meaningful material here, but still a good bit of fun with an excellent cast who seemed to have fun while making it. Somewhat reminiscent of John Wayne's fabulous movie of a similar name (THE COWBOYS, if I recall right), and CITY SLICKERS, this tale of a tenderfoot who rapidly turns into a hardened trail hand would have flopped with a lesser cast, but Glenn Ford and Jack Lemmon rip on through at a nice pace with a nice group of supporting players: Strother Martin, Brian Donlevy, Dick York and a number of other familiar faces. Don't rush out to pay rental money on this one, particularly, but it's certainly no waste of time on cable.
